hey,
Whoever owns a F model that fitted the Willeyco can, could you please post pictures as i want to see the look of it before i would buy it.
THanks
Stefan.
Check this link, I'm still in the process, but these pics show my test fit.

What does it sound like? You should make a sound clip for us. And you chose a nice can, doesnt seem like dent or a scratch on her.
Haven't crank her up yet, repainting my tank today, and rejetting this weekend, bike is in pieces right now. Try to make a clip after the weekend. Scratch and dent, HA HA, it was brand new in a box, never been opened.
how did you manage to get that? for 50$?
I believe that they are all new, just overstocked items. The manufacture date on the warranty card that came with it stated sometime in 1997.
The link to the can is here ...

He cut his own flange and used a adapter on to the stock header and is going for a welded on fit ... I make flanges for these that let you slip fit on the stock header ... the can of course bolts to the flange ...
Cool.
Srinath.
just got my flange although i gotta pick it up from my dad's house. this weekend it'll get installed. i'll post sound clips and pics of my bike provided someone hosts it. :thumb:
sounds aweseome. kinda throaty. when i let off the gas it burbles and ive gotten used to it but dont really like it.. maybe its cause i didnt rejet?
is there such thing as too much flow?...since the can is designed for the CBR900...
Yeah, someone should host some sound clips. I would LOVE to hear them.

More likely cos of the choker ... you have one with choker right ...There was a square plate welded to the flange was there ???
Cool.
Srinath.
ya i have the choker. would that cause the burble? i should reget...

OK check with 70_cam_guy ... I believe if you let off the gas ... you'd get more of that "blaht blaht blaht" type noise ...
Cool.
Srinath.
ya, blaht blaht blaht, burble, same deal.. what would happen if i remove the choker w/o rejetting?
You might be lean ... much leaner than just the blurb blurb ... lean surging, feeling like you're running out of gas when you open throttle, misfiring ... and running hot ... among other problems ... Solution is to rejet ... we rejet a stock bike ... no sense ... that choker is at best temporary ... the fact that it runs wihtout any other symptoms itself is to be viewed at as a success ... run it till you're ready ... dont remove the choker ... and when you can rejet.
Cool.
Srinath.
so the blurb i have now is because its running slightly lean?
OK its not exactly that ...
OK the blurbing is because you are lean of course ... but when you shut the throttle all bikes and nearly every vehicle goes very very lean ... you are trying to supply gas with the idle setting to a motor running 4-5-6-7K rpm ... lean as heck. Now a stock pipe has so much indirect path for the gasses that on shut throttle they simply lack the pressure to stay as 1 unit and they disperse and make a ffffffff ish noise ... diffusing and dispersing sound. The Wiley co as it will be will let it come out as 1 packet making a buuut noise. To that add the fact you have a restrictor and the gasses stay as 1 unit and get tighter packed on hitting the restrictor making a BUUUUT noise. Killing flow and killing sound are 2 separate things ... I made somehting for se7enty7 that was effective in killing sound ... how good ... ask him ... its impact on flow and hence jetting would have been minimal ... yours was made to kill flow and not think about sound. Just leave it be ... when you rejet and take it off you'll most likely lose that BUUUUT sound on shut throttle and get a buuuut (se how that is so much quieter) sound instead.
Cool.
