Update: Here's the link to the YT video of the dyno session to create the PC maps.

Sorry for the sound quality, the booth and camera were not the best for audio capture. The pipes sound higher noted than they are in real life and also you miss out on the happy burbling they do at idle  

In open loop, above 4,500rpm* your optimisers do absolutely zilch, any improvement there is coming thru fuelling managed by PCV inputs.

Fair enough, you learn something new every day eh

Some days I learn the same new thing twice   

Your bike is certainly interesting and different from the same old same old  .  Brad at Bikecraft did the custom paintwork on my M1100.  I'm not really a fan of his style (and he made it pretty clear the feeling is mutual  ), but the quality of his work is absolutely fabulous  .   He did a great job for me despite my wants being too conservative for his taste.

The bike is now at home, picked up on Saturday and I'm loving it. The pipes are wonderful to hear at 0-5k, after that they get a bit loud and tend to 'bang' instead of 'boom' if you know what I mean. I'm not talking about backfire or popping, it's just the note is more like a WSBK note, sharp and barking. I'll leave things as they are and let the pipes get a bit carbonised and see what happens over the next couple of weeks. Although I might have to get some small baffles put into the end caps so as to not attract  .

The PC5 has totally changed the low rev handling, it's a lot more predictable and smoother off the line.

A decent audio file and some better photos with a real camera and lighting to follow ASAP.

Can. Not. Wait.

Some new pics, been screaming around with my hair on fire having a lot of fun. We had a decent couple of sunny dry days (It's winter in AU right now).





and the happy owner (although I don't look too happy for some reason  )



I haven't got a video with any decent sound yet, all the mic's I have get distorted sound recording. I'm trying to source a decent one from a mate.

Great pics of a great bike man!! Congrats!

Great Dyno video! I am loving the exhaust too!

[muskrat]

I'd love to hear a clip of the exhaust.  Looking great by the way.

It's taken me a while to get around to it, apologies, but  it's mid winter here and my baby was all wrapped up ready for spring but I had a quiet weekend so here is a video with a better sound and graphic quality.

Sounds good!  Looks like you added a heat shield no?

[Sundog]

Yes I did. We'd already fabbed it and was sitting there for a while all painted and ready to go. It isn't really functionally necessary, there is no heat problem on my right foot because the spacing is pretty good but we thought that visually the shield "broke" the length of the pipe and was therefore more appealing to the eye.

I have the CF hugger painted up now and will install it this weekend. After that it's pretty much done as far as expense goes (yeah right!!). I just need to find a way to lower the instrument binnacle about 3cm so it's more in between the forks but without cutting anything, a solution is proving difficult.
