After fitting the DNA filter and Leo Vince pipe, was there a appreciable power hike?

I believe it is around 4,5 hp. Does not sound a lot, but you are not starting off with much in the first place. So, about 10%. Not too bad! I like the way it runs and sounds now.

Next mod is a taller screen, then the suspension, some progressive fork springs and a decent rear shock. Will wear the suspension out a bit more first!

that pipe... :drool:

Yes. I had an actual full body muscle spasm when I saw that pic.

 

I LOVE the Honda SP2. There are a few around that can be bought for 50-60k. Honda built that bike specifically to spank Ducati's arse in WSBK. And it did. Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi also won the Suzuka 8 hours on one. The funny thing is Rossi called the bike a tractor. Hahaha. He was on an NSR 2 stroke at the time in GP.

 

And of course the late great Joey Dunlop won his last bike bike TT on one.

If you are at all into bike racing you should watch this movie. Narated by Liam Neeson it covers 2 generations of the Dunlop family. Joey and Robert. Michael and William.

 

Brave men. The footage of Roberts crash at the NW200 where he passed is HECTIC!!!!!

I was watching one of those "reality TV" shows a few years ago and I think it was Roland Sands that had a custom pipe hand made from titanium for a 2 stroke naked racer. He was expecting to receive his pipe back with the rainbow effect around the joints from the welding....

 

The fabricator polished it for him.....

 

To say that he was a bit upset is an understatement!

There is nothing as attractive as the Kawasaki Green against black as in the pick. I've never owned one :-( All the Kawas in the family was red over the years ...
