Re: Stuntbiker, Good or what!
One word was running through my mind, and I can't even say it due to censorship :lol: Damned impressive though, probably gone through more bikes than I've had sandwiches to get that good though. Can't be a cheap hobby. Anyone know what bike it is? The frame makes me think Monster, but I'm not sure ...

Re: How can I get exhaust tested?

Re: How can I get exhaust tested?
I never realised how cheap the meters were so thanks to Wickys link I have one on order now. :D After further searching it seems that the test is done statically by a decibel meter held at 45degrees from outlet and half a meter away. For our bikes (Twins over 750cc) Virt is right that the engine has...

How can I get exhaust tested?
Hi chaps, not sure where to ask this so hopefully in the right section. Next month I have got a track day coming up at Darley Moor. But I may have a little problem concerning the volume of my exhausts. To quieten them up I have already put in some long aftermarket baffles (Bike never came with them)...

Re: Replace front footrest hangers?
Well I have managed to purchase a pair of front hangers and patiently waiting for them to arrive. Both from the bay but I didn't realise till later that one of them I bought was from someone on here. I could have tried for a discount! :roll: . All this aggro just so that I can raise the exhausts up ...
