  1. Yes! A fellow snap-crackle-pop enthusiast! Cool, I don't feel like such a weirdo anymore. I knew there were more of us out there. I know man, it's awesome. I mean I don't like some exhausts because the exhaust note is just too harsh, too raspy, too unrefined. There's a certain noise level that I will just draw the line and say, "Nope, that exhaust sounds like shit. Too loud and obnoxious." But that being said, I always love a lot of crackle-and-pop on decel. Just a matter of personal taste I guess. It's surprising so many other people try to completely eliminate those sounds though, isn't it??? To me that would be like being in love with aged, triple-cream brie cheese, yet they can only eat the soft middle and throw away the whole rind. The rind is awesome too. Ok so we just need to find someone out there who's devised a way to "Make Exhaust Crackle Great Again" lol and tell us how to modify the bike somehow. Maybe modifying the PAIR valve system to inject more air into the exhaust manifold? Maybe doing an ECU tune where it adds a little more fuel on decel? How about adding a manual trigger on the grip that disrupts the spark, letting unburnt fuel get into the exhaust manifold...
  2. I just bought a 5th gen VFR two weeks ago. 1998. I think the PAIR and flapper valves are stock, and I don't think there's any kind of power commander or ECU tune on the bike. I have this peculiar disease. My disease is: I actually love the sound of a whole bunch of serious popping noises from my exhaust on deceleration/overrev. The more the better. Anyone else out there like that too? My exhaust is not stock; I have a Two Brothers slip-on that I LOVE. I totally love just about everything about this bike and it's hard to think of ways to improve it, but if I could just have my gurgling popping sounds the way I like, that would be great. If the PAIR system has been disabled, maybe re-enabling it would give me my popping sounds back? Maybe adding some type of ECU tune that makes it extra lean when the throttle is closed?
  3. Hello forum. I love my stock hydraulic brake and clutch master cylinders, but I'd like a much shorter and much fatter lever for both. Something similar to the "shorty" style levers you see on dirt bikes. Something designed to be squeezed with one or two fingers instead 4 fingers. Has anyone seen levers like that available, especially for my 5th gen VFR800?
