Two Brothers High Mount Exhaust Installed

After looking in the classified section on this forum for only two weeks, I got so lucky to find a Two Brothers Stainless High Mount exhaust from a member on this forum.  The exhaust and connecting pipe are both in awesome condition.  I just installed it tonight and it looks and sounds amazing!!  Here are some pics I took with my phone.

Now it is time to spiffen things up and buy that 5th-6th gen rear wheel...
The handling is much better and the the look is awsome.

Welcome to VFRD from across the pond :tour:

Nice. I need a high pipe myself.

Yes, might look better with a 3rd, 5th or 6th gen rear wheel, but.......uhmmmm.. handling better with the wider bigger (heavier) rear wheel and tire on the 4th gen?...........that's very debatable.....

Congratulations on the new TBR high-mount exhaust!

The original owner of my '98 installed the same one and I too really appreciate the look...and tone, The mounting position does provide a great view of the rear wheel!

The viffer's unique music playing through the TBR canister also sure turns a lot of heads, but at times I wish it was a little quieter. While riding through the mountains last week on several occasions I observed local law enforcement reprsentatives pull behind to follow me after I passed them while ridng through some small rural towns in western VA. Thankfully, I behaved myself and wasn't pulled over.

Unfortunately, the high-mount position can be problematic when you want to mount soft saddlebags. For the first time last week I used a set of like-new Tourmaster Cortech sport saddlebags purchased from a seller on craigslist last summer and experienced difficulties w/keeping the bottom of the right saddlebag out of contact with the hot TBR canister.

i wish i could have heard that can attached to my bike.  alas, it wasnt meant to be.  im glad it went to an appreciative home!

I am sure as with my 800, the can still has to be removed to pull the wheel off.
I have the TI Two Bros, full system on my Y2K... It sounds soooooo sweet.

I also just put a Yoshimura on my '96.

As for the debate;
I have owned several forth gen VFRs since '96. The 180 on a fifth gen wheel handles much better and is well worth the money.
I don't exactly live in an area with a lot of straight roads like SF... But maybe on the 101 the 170 rear tire does better.

I know, there are some good roads out around Half Moon Bay, LaHonda, skyline, etc...
Yep... I work in Foster City and have access to an R6 when I work in the office.

Flyguyeddy, I'm glad it didn't work out for you LOL!!  Thanks again man, I'm very appreciative!!  :)

Nice exhaust!!! It looks really sharp!!! As far as the rear rim debate goes, I think the main advantage to a 180 size rear rim is tire availability. I have a 5.5 rim on my VFR and have work the rear tire to the edges ( on a race track), the main reason I did the swap was for tire choice, as 170 size rubber is getting harder to find.

Nice TB exhaust! I have a similar one.

I myself am looking for a 5th or 3rd gen wheel....but only for looks.

I'm debating it though as the 4th gen wheel is lighter, and I like that.

Are you trying to scare me and lead me to spend silly $$$ on a 3rd gen wheel? :tongue:

those high mounts look the best, i put a low mount micron on just in case i put some baggies on.

your passenger seat cowl looks terrible...you should take it off and sell it to me :ph34r:

:tour:

Can you get just the high pipe? Or sub in a different pipe?

Nah, you know what I want from my VFR, bigger, stronger, faster, a mechanical Steve Austin. Heck, by the time I'm done, it will almost be the 6 million dollar VFR...

Thanks guys!!  I'm sorry I can't comment about the whole tire thing because I'm so new to the motorcycle scene, but I'll be more than gladly to be a spectator to any advice!!

If you want my advice (40,000 on a '94):

1. Put regular single compound Pilot Powers on it. Stay with 170 rear wheel. The rear 180 3rd gen multi spoke everyone raves about  is really for looks and slows handling slightly and also is the heaviest VFR wheel ever, as far as I know. LOoks pretty neat if you like a lot of spokes. I prefer 5 spoke wheels myself.

2. Read up on lowering the front triple clamp 10-20mm on the front forks. Have a decent suspension guy have a look at what you have and adjust it as best he can for your weight/riding style.

3. Enjoy a thrilling underated bike with great handling and a sublime engine for many miles!!!
