Sounds great! Is it a trick of the camera mic, or does the Delko exhaust lower the note a bit?

Looks like you're having the spastic behavior that I've heard is common with these Chinese speedos.
It seems like I ran across a post on another site that talked about says to fix it, but I can't recall where that was, sorry.


GS500Schultz

Yea I've had a Chinese speedometer before and the fix is just wiring in a resistor or 10 lol.

I haven't really gotten around to it other things have been keeping me busy. Mostly powder coating has been taking up my time and designing parts for later installation on the bike :-)

The bike does sounds deeper than what I've seen on youtube. I do have a K&N lunch box so that probably added to the deepness of the tone.

Very cool! I've been thinking of a Delkevic slip-on as well and I really like the sound on yours.

Sometimes you have to make some custom parts to mock up the custom parts your gonna make.

GS500Schultz

Looks good! .. you got a beefed up fork brace in the front?... those excellent brakes may put some extra forces thru the front end maybe?

GS500Schultz

i'll probably be picking one up, the bike is no where near finished

It will be getting a custom made subframe and huge brake upgrade
