Thank you sir 😁

Thank you, Yes, we forget how lucky we are around here sometimes, easy to get complacent.

Thanks Chris

Thanks for the tip, can't beat a bit blue though ey!

Hehe, not just me then!

Cheers!! Eagerly awaiting to see what you’ve been having done to yours!

@@DormanDiaries That makes two of us!!

Were you as surprised by the extra poke as me?

@@DormanDiaries definitely. Of all the performance mods I’ve done this was the most noticeable. I took it in to have the brakes sorted on the recall and the mechanic (after his test ride) asked if I had done any engine mods!

@@waynesmith9032 excellent, its good to have an opinion from others to check you’re not imagining it.

@@waynesmith9032 what kind of brake recall do they have?

Thanks Baz. They definitely do! That wasn’t my motivation but now Ive got it I wouldn’t want to go back.

I’d like the extra boost, but not the noise or the fumes. My bike is noisy enough, and I have the dbkillers in.

Cheers fella, yea the extra noise is good for a bit of fun but gets tiring. These are quieter now than before fitting the headers. Yet to give them a long run though.

Thank you sir. Yes I tried the packing on the one we’ve got fitted on Kjs Kawasaki but didn’t do much on that either. I tried alsorts with the baffles on that one and only the washer in the end made a proper difference. Thanks for watching

I really should know better, my left hand has been chopped and hit from almost everything you can think of! Machete, stanley knife, panel saw, grinder, various hammers and probably lots Ive forgotten.

@@DormanDiaries Know the feeling well . You are thinking as you do if that slips it will hurt , but you do it anyway and*********************. Did you edit that or were you very restrained as your good lady wife was with you. Or are you just tough?

@@pauldowson5647 - thanks Paul, no didn’t edit it. Just used to it. I once poured hot fat circa 200 degrees over the back of that hand, now that is pain like I’ve never ever felt before or after and so everything else is a little bit tame, hammer to thumbnail not a good one either lol.

Theres always better ways for most of the things I do! Filming doesn’t help either. I leave my noodle behind!

Hi sorry completely forgot these ones www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-COPPER-EXHAUST-GASKETS-SEAL-HEADER-GASKET-RING-42mm-OD-32mm-ID-fF42-/281426416118?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Yes I should! I rarely wear gloves though, except when welding or doing a lot of chainsaw work. Just can’t feel stuff properly.

@@DormanDiaries you're so right✌😉

Hi Mate These ones. Handlebars - ebay.us/NppTC4 They are straighter than original which I prefer as easier on my wrists. Cheers

My bum dyno says its good 😃

You mentioned that your wife has had a pilot's license. Does she still fly? Have you ever considered flying to the Isle of Man for the TT race?

The snap/crackle/pop might be helped (i.e. reduced) by the installation of a Booster Plug. The BP enriches the mixture at idle and low throttle to maintain ignition in the cylinder.

I already have the booster plug fitted as well as the DNA air filter and plate. I fitted those last year.

@@paulstoker7650 - That's intriguing. Does it jerk when coming off idle? Did you do the initial training procedure that lets the ECU learn the new oxygen parameters?

Yeah, I did the ten minute ECU program. No jerking, just snap crackle and pop when you came off the throttle. I've stuck the original silencer's back on for now.

@@paulstoker7650 I only rode mine briefly before fitting the washers but I think it crackled a bit before those.

Thank you! Welcome to the channel friend

Hello, my Honda CB - 160 had a of single sided upswept pipes from Webco In. On the end I had mounted two one-foot-long short reverse cone megaphones. These megaphones had a removable baffle. The baffle was recessed but had a lip to cove completely the hole in the megaphone. This baffle had roughly a dozen 1/4-inch holes spaced about and drilled into the baffle. Through the center of the baffle passed a 1/2-inch-long bolt about 5/16ths, that had a nut threaded onto it. soldered or brazed to this bolt was a loop of steel wire that was rigid and spring like tempered. This loop of steel was not circular but flattened like a very severe flat oval. This spring steel flattened oval loop (more like a racetrack than egg) was long enough to be inserted into the reverse cone of the megaphone. After inserting it the central bolt could be tightened and the tension would hold the baffle in place until it was decided it needed removal. This was an elegant solution to mount a removable baffle. The seven years that I had that Honda the baffle never fell out. " Hey! "

P'S. I never could ride the bike and stare at the baffles, but I always suspected that with hard charging throttle usage that this spring-loaded baffle would give a little bit and fractionally open the reverse cone just a little bit. Anyways, the bike could be driven quietly until the throttle was seriously opened.

Yep, both original silver ones painted black. Did them myself with rattle cans

Hi mate, round hole at the top, slotted hole at the bottom. Cheers

@@DormanDiaries Thank you very much for the information! Cherrs

@@nelsonvargas1279 You are very welcome

Hi stock cam, only changes to power things are exhaust, booster plug and air filter. Mine is one of the first bikes so euro 4

Did you sort this. Mine have arrived and having the same issue. However the instructions state to remove the rubber mountings but doesn't state to put them back. Fits very easy without

Hello, Link to good ones here Mirrors - ebay.us/PFlXEA I've also got a set of cheap copies which are OK but a bit sloppy.

In my later videos I’ve been using DaVinchi Resolve. Very complicated but I picked up the basics quickly enough.

No not at all, I am running the booster plug and filter as well.

@@DormanDiaries - Ahh, the Booster Plug. The Mod-That-Smooths. :-)

Thank you sir. Without a dyno I suppose it’s subjective but this feels like the biggest surprise so far.

@@DormanDiaries mmmmmmmmmm!!!! "Should I shouldn't I"that is the Question? Cheers

Hi Mate, Front Tyre - ebay.us/oYfloC Rear Tyre - Rear Tyre - www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/487541 Hope this helps

Hello! No I've raised the front by extending damper rod spacer, see some of my earlier videos. Cheers

Hi Morgan, Look on ebay for Bar End Indicators you will find them. Check out my playlist I've done a video or 2 on fitting them. All the best DD

? Get much or do much?

Hi Moog, no but I am aware of that, I always get carried away. I did let it sit before taking it for a proper run though. I am still a bit sceptical about that though as surely it has to constantly adjust anyway particularly with the temps in the UK. There could easily be 10 degrees difference between rides or even on a ride and its not like you stop and let it idle then. It would be good to sit down with an RE engineer and quiz them on that to get it to filter into my brain!

@@DormanDiaries I think the stop and let idle is just for the learning ecu to get a "baseline" and then it'll adjust from there ! I'm not a techy type person in that respect , I can do the spanner work without stabbing my palm though ! 😂 I've done some similar mods to yours , even had both crank cases off to have them properly polished and got them back on and working but electrickery & electronics are just a no-no for my tiny brain !

@@themoog3889 completely agree, wiring for lights etc I’m fine with. What the computers are doing Ive no idea!

Yep, she also passes me blocks when building, and mixes the mortar. Good job I can operate the vacuum isn't it!

@@DormanDiaries I'm envious - married to a wife that likes motorcycles and can use the spanners. I can't even get mine to go on the back. 😊

😉

Nope!

@@DormanDiaries oh cool what tyres are they, it looks cool

Mufflers are universal ones from Classic Bike shop. Should be able to get similar all over the world.

@@DormanDiaries Thanks!!

Thinner socket?

@@DormanDiaries - I had a lot of similar comments on the RE USA FB page to that effect. I’m still mulling over whether to return them or persevere. I’m am a very nervous wrench and while I can follow directions, I tend to curl up in a ball on the floor and whimper when things go awry… 😀

@@paulhopper5459 what did you end up doing?

Try a 3/8 or 1/4” drive socket, much thinner walls than a 1/2” socket. Fitted a Tec 2:1 and noticed exactly the same thing.

They certainly do!

I’m with you in some respects, but I like how stainless pipes golden over. I’m personally not a huge fan of chrome never have been, but thats why we all like to customise them isn’t it. Would be boring if they all looked the same. Thanks for watching, keep an eye out for more! Cheers

I like the finish, they are more of a brushed affair. Goes with my more used looking bike, if I had shiny ones I’d only spoil them! Melted my coat to the originals 🥴 Cheers for watching

Ha, Kj is from Mumbai. Gujarati family. Folks and brother still live there. We are overdue a visit due to covid.

@@DormanDiaries wool!! Please do that when this COVID thing is over. You have a little India in form of a lady who helps you working on your bike and a made in India thumper twin 650. 🙏🙏

@@DormanDiaries Kem Cho lovely Kj, Majama ?

@@feedback5569 she is fine thank you, shes busy at work today. Tame Kem cho?
