All 16- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on Yes it comes with one. Quiets it quite a bit.
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on Finally got a new midpipe from Delkevic which had a slightly different bend. After a lot of messing around, I eventually got it to work the way I wanted (no fault of theirs). I made my own bracket to put the barrel band…
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on Finally heard back from Delkevic, they're sending me both a high pipe and low pipe. We'll see how it goes!
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on I totally agree it looks wrong, that's why I haven't used it. I put their can on a low mount pipe I had from a 2 Bros, which puts it tight and parallel. Still waiting to hear from Delkevic. [image: lowmount.jpg][image:…
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on I put it back on just for the photos :wink: Waiting for a reply from Delkevic. To me, the mid-pipe needs more of each bend. As you can see in the photos, the outlet of the mid-pipe comes out at an angle, so the muffler…
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on Purchased a carbon Delkevic high mount 18" kit. I definitely don't like the fit. I currently have a 2 Bros. low mount slipon and it fits parallel to the bike and tight to it. This high mount is not parallel to the…
- Cooling system improvement ? What year VTR fan fits? Looking on eBay, there are a lot of different fans for 88-90 VTR250, and not much from a VTR1000, plus the sizes/blade configs are different.
- ANOTHER Starter Valve Sync Question Thanks, didn't see that one. Same was my assumption but wanted to be sure. We'll see how it goes. I have both a dial gauge and a mercury gauge. I may try them both and see what it shows.
- ANOTHER Starter Valve Sync Question I will probably sync my SV's today (I've synced carbs on previous bikes). I have 2 manuals and have read through the posts, but can't find a definitive answer. The Service manuals indicate to use #1 as the baseline…
- Ride Like Your Invisible MaxSwell, that's a couple too many! I've passed deer at night that were just off the shoulder of the road, too late to do anything about it! I did ride through the middle of a herd one time. Cruising down an open…
- How does your workshop look like? [image: garage1.jpg] [image: garage2a.jpg] Too cold to ride this month. Good time to do mods.... [image: garage3.jpg]
- Tar Snakes My current bike is an 01 VFR800FI. It came with Michelin tires, don't recall which ones but I think PP3. Went around a curve that was COVERED in tar snakes, they crossed the lane about every 6 feet though the entire…
- Ride Like Your Invisible Even though I mentally prepare for emergencies, there's always a situation you can't prepare for. Case in point: I was riding home at night down a mostly unpopulated 2 lane road through farm country. I was doing…
- Ride Like Your Invisible I've always ridden with the thought that other drivers don't know I am there. I also always have an escape plan. Example: If I'm riding down the freeway in heavy traffic in the left lane, passing a car in the center…
- 30 min fork oil change- On bike Unfortunately my experience was not as fun as yours. Took me about 6 hours, about 1 hour to get the 2nd bolt out, over 4 hours trying to get the bottom bolt to tighten enough to seal. It would of course start to tighten…
- Lower Fairing Decals, Y2K Found a company on ebay that makes these in vinyl. $15 a pair with free shipping, any color you want. I had these made in metallic silver. [image: vfr800.jpg]
