Thanks! Agree 200 looks better, just couldn't personally deal with the noise

Did the masking tape burn off after riding? Interesting idea

Hi there, thanks for watching. I didn't notice any drop, but I'm no racer. Felt the same, and more comfortable with the noise level

Hey, thanks for your comment. I have heard the Akrapovic. To be honest the Akrapovic sounds better. Cleaner, not as loud but still rumbles. If I could afford it I'd go akra, but when considering cost Vs benefit, the black widow is great

@@XSR_700 I appreciate the response! If you had to compare the Akra to the black widow cans which size do you think? Like the 230mm or 300mm?

(Loudness wise)

The 300, akra has a CAT, whereas black widow is decat. Id say the akra is quieter than the 300 still

Hi, here a link for the 300st www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/xsr-700-2021---2024-de---cat-exhaust-system-300mm-oval-stainless-carbon-tip-silencer-47223-p.asp I didn't do any tuning after install, all seems fine.

Fibreglass is fibreglass, bet it's great!

Seems to have worked ok, still in there and doing it's job. A bit of experimentation for sure, but I'm happy with it

I had gloves on... Did you watch the video?

Sure thing! Will do asap

@@XSR_700 😂 No need, but thanks for reply, already got the exhaust on the monent of writing previous comment. Went with 200mm round, Db In for sure, better rumble

​@@madnjpn ah sorry for the late reply man, ride safe

@@XSR_700 you too! no worries, your video helped me a lot anyway 🤝❤️

No problem!

Hi just seen this. I took it to a garage a few weeks after and they said it was all ok

Hi there, I don't have a guage personally but the garage said it was ok

There's a little Allen key bolt on the underside, covered by a rubber grommet. Remove that bolt then it should slide out

Hey, thanks for watching. Yeah same principle applies, give it ago, should work fine

just buy quieter echaust

Hi, I bought the baffle wrap from eBay, cost about £10 and got loads left over. The larger and quieter exhaust I have is the 300ST, it's perfect for me. Unfortunately I didn't test DB readings of the stock exhaust, but it should be on your nearside front fork from the factory

@@XSR_700 thanks, i want the deeper exhaust but dont want to upset the neighbors!!

Go for it, hope you like it. Think I saw your purchase on the XSR Enthusiasts FB group, looks very nice! ​@@Kenneth_McGrew

@@XSR_700 yes! now got to wait a week to pick it up!

sorry to be a pain again, but fitting this exhaust is it a simple job, bolt off and on? does it fit well etc? jus wanted to ask before i bought one

Yeah I regret not having a dB reader before changing the exhaust over

Hey, thanks for watching. Yes their website has the option of buying the end can only, end can with link pipes, and link pipes only. Check their website out, staff very helpful if you're not sure and want to give them a ring

Thanks, was fun! It's a biker cafe called Rykas, nice place for a coffee and a quick ride. It's busy most days

I also want those exact mirrors

Hi, licence plate was just a cheap one from eBay, worked great. The mirrors are by a company called Oxford. If you're UK based, they're only around £17 from sportsbikeshop.com or infinity motorcycles. Thanks for watching

Yeah, I dropped mine in and then used the inlet pipe clamp to keep it in place. Doesn't rattle or anything. Agree it seems strange to do, but it works

Hey, yes it's from a company called Shad, fitting their SR 38 side bag. Great option if you're looking

@@XSR_700 Shad are well known and usually noice , in the US .

Yeah standard stock seat

@@XSR_700 I am trying to find a softer seat for mine or something better I just brought the bike and the seat to flat and hard

@@illusion1361 if yours is flatter than mine, and ribbed, chances are that you have the optional extra flat seat. If your UK based I'll swap you, I want the flat seat!

@@XSR_700 mines not ribbed it’s light brown flat 2016 bike

Thanks mate

@@XSR_700 you’re welcome

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey, it definitely doesn't feel like 50% but does take the edge off. I ended up wrapping the standard baffle too to make it quieter still, check out separate vid on the channel

@@XSR_700 hi bro, can you give me the URL of this video please

😂 it's a whirlpool, rookie

@@XSR_700 do you use tide pods ? 🙃

@@tedcity5861 nah, prefer bounce sheets 😆

Hey thanks man. The tail tidy is just a generic one from eBay, does the job. No the exhaust doesn't meet euro 5, it's a decat

Ok thank you. Could you give me a specific name for the tail tidy? I only know about the official one from Yamaha and that’s really expensive.

Thank you. 😀😀

Haha agree, for the weekends at least

Hi there, thanks for watching. This is the 200mm. I have another video with the 300mm, check out the channel. Thanks

Hey thanks for watching. Haven't noticed any issues, but only done around 100 miles since doing the mod. Seems like a common thing to do so not worried. Overall I'm just very happy with reducing volume but keeping a low tone

@XSR_700 thanks for getting back to me I was looking at doing it and saw people had back pressure issues was hesitant but I'll give it a try and see what happens

Hi, no they're stock, but I've tilted them towards me slightly for comfort

i like this bike,i havent sat on one yet,but i think its a little small.i m 5.10.how tall are you?are you comfortable?pillion?@@XSR_700

Hey, thanks for watching! I went with Oxford bar end mirrors, they were only around £16 for a pair of you're UK based. I purchased from infinity motorcycles. Fairly easy to fit, just leave a small gap on the throttle side so they don't make the throttle stick. They work great. Everything's smaller due to the fish eye nature of them, but you can see a lot more

Thanks

Did you tune bike after installation fella

@@blackbeard1074 hi, no I didn't, haven't felt the need to do this after putting in some miles. Maybe later in the year as a precaution, but doesnt feel like it needs it

@@XSR_700 thank bud.

Thank you! No unfortunately I got the DB reader after installing the original 200mm. However I think the DB readings are printed on the forks as part of the acceptance testing, on the nearside - not 100% but have a look.

Quality I found to be excellent, everything arrived quickly, easy to fit and made well. Compared to an akrapovic, yes I assume they're better, but for the money of the Black Widow exhaust, I don't think you'll find much better. I found the 200mm too loud, the secondary baffle helped (see separate vid), but quality for price was excellent
