Project CBR600F: Quiet your can!

 When I purchased the factory exhaust system last year, I had hoped to have a quieter ride.  Unfortunately, someone had punched out the baffles, so while it was a bit quieter than the Delkevic, it was still loud and posed some jetting challenges.  I finally managed to track down a factory can with baffles, however, once I got it, I noticed some things didn't jive up.  

This new can had a different part number, was about 3-4 inches longer, and the mounting bracket didn't line up.  A quick search turned up that this can is from a CBR600F2, not a Hurricane.  The baffles are in place, so instead of starting a return process, I decided to just see how it goes. Some quick hack saw and drill work, and I had a flat bracket to fix the mount issue.  





Apparently, the junk yard gave my bike a name. I kinda dig it.

Now, I need to get my butt in gear and fix the coolant leak, and valve cover gasket replaced.  I didn't get squat done over the cold months but warmer garage weather is on it's way. 


I still owe a review for the LS2 Challenger helmet, but I also need to put more non interstate miles on it to rule out if my headaches were wind and strain related, or pressure from the size.  


Stay safe out there.
