@odogfncha Good on ya you will love it mate, bikes good it's comfy and highly "customizable" easy to get parts a good all rounder. Tell me how ya go after your test ride :)
@Trendywunn O ok I see but what if you put those cobra pipes and just replace the stock air filter with a stock replacement k&n air filter do it need to be remaped then?? Or is that only if you go with something like a hypercharger that actually sucks much more air??
@XxKingoveKingsxX yes if u put on pipes and change the filter you will need a re-map, I put on a power comander III to help the mapping. The K & N will make a big difference you should hear it sucking more too.
@Trendywunn I put those pipes with the K&N stock replacement filter and didnt remap the fuel and the bike is running great of course with the occasional popping on decel other then that all is good. I just had a maintenance done on it this past friday and they checked the spark plugs and said that they were good, a light brown color doesnt that mean air fuel mixture is right? isnt it when the plugs are white means its running to lean. Should i remap or leave it alone??
You have done a very nice job on your vn900. i have a 2008 vn900 classic, one day ill get round to posting it on YouTube but I keep getting side tracked. But if I ever do ill send you the vid.
At the moment im trying to decide on new rims from RC Components and getting prices. I like the savages so I might end up with them.
Any way hope the bikes going well and i might (but theres not a good chance) see you on the road.
I have the same pipes but in chrome. Here in NJ USA they passed a law where there is no more inspections on motorcycles. Only have to pass the emissions once every 4 years. No more little stickers for proof of the registration or inspection on the license plate. Wow!! Where did you get the awesome looking skull headlight? Great looking bike sounds great as it gets everyones attention especially when the're on the cell phone not paying attention. I also installed a 140db stebel airhorn.
@dogfoodthirtyone yeah the horn rocks don't it scares shit out of cars when they try and run me off the road :)
Wish we had the same rules in Australia your so lucky over there now with an inspection only every 4 years! The Skull Headlight come from skullmanonline. com if you google it you should find him, he has a pic of the front of my bike on his site. It def turns heads well worth the $.
Oh man, I love your bike... and those exhaust pipes ^^
I am about to pass my driving license in a few months and will buy a Kawasaki VN900 custom as well.
I wish I could install those Cobra Swept (or the Vance & Hines) but I live in France and I'm afraid if I install those, I will get arrested by the cops, especially since law here limit the exhaust sound to something like 60db, which is ridiculous...
If I get caught, I'll have a fine + obligation to reinstall all original parts... But still...
checked out your exhaust on here...just wondering if you de-baffled these and how you like the sound...i love my pipes but dont want to mess with a good thing if it sounds crappy without the baffles...thanks!
Hi, I noticed you have custom wheels rather than the stock alloys that come with the custom, what wheels are they and where did you get them from ? Thanks. BTW: The cobras sound awesome, I am getting a 2010 VN900 Classic.
Got these same pipes on my S/E without the baffles and it is LOUD AND ROWDY!! Definitely a big head turner, didn't realize that a 900 could make so much noise. Nice rumble at idle but loud as hell when revved.
Mate I put in a PCIII and had it dyno'd I ended up with around 54hpso a small improvement on stock, so I'm not sure what the setting are as the shop did it.
Great looking bike ! I Bought a new 2008 Vulcan 900 Custom (regular) and have been considering installing these pipes. How loud are they ? I'm going for the sound not the volume. Love the headlight !!
@glennofsb they are not that loud so if you want to you can take the baffles out to make them louder. They have a way sharper note than stock and sound really good on acceleration, I got them mostly for looks. Thinking that they will be pretty loud with the baffles out, been thinking of trying it actually will see what happens if I get off my fat ass and pull them out.
@MrDenhugh Yeah mate they are cool, had a dude take a pic at the lights next to me today they def turn heads. Getting a sexy model to have a photo shoot with it on Sat too should get some nice shots :)
What i great job you did with the bike. I had just bought this bike about 2 weeks ago with 3 miles on it. I'm looking forwerd to having fun with it. Great job.
Excellent job on the customization of this bike. I have the Classic version of this bike and I have to know where you got the wheels.
