Thank you kindly. Didn't do much to black out.. bought the black trim pieces from a blue bike, painted lower forks and grab handles. Was going to paint valve covers but discovered previous owner (114 miles only...) Had a knock over in the garage and cracked the valve cover. So I bought the cheapo black ones on ebay, they surprisingly fit great.
@@tybotti Thx! Don't think I would be able to part my old bike, likely keep both :) Mine has beetle bags, MarkT 40x5" pipes and Corbin Duo seats with backrests. Quite attached :)
They're from a first gen Hayabusa. I did have to make buy and fit adapters to fit as well as adhere the chrome exhaust shields at the front as they lock into the stock mufflers.
@mertechperformance Good news!!! If there is no issue at performance, all the others are very welcome, I thought. Any other advise regarding the moto? I will thinking to buy one next few days. Sorry to bother you
@@mertechperformance not more restrictive, its literally a straight shot from where it bolts up to cats to exit of exhaust. Might be a bit heavier, nothing a good poop cant even out :D
@@MericanSlav mines a completely straight through core no baffles that the exhaust could possibly go through. But hey man glad you enjoy. I can also sure you this video and it's sound is doing my bike no fakes not is it a true reorganisation of the sound. But hey if you think you'd sounds better and loser then cool. Last thing i'd want is an ungodly loud drone machine.
Sorry I didn't make the video well enough for you. Limited resources for someone to video me. Left me on a neighborhood street. I guess I just didn't break enough laws or cause enough of a safety liability or public nuisance for you. Maybe next time it'll be good enough for you massuh.
@@mertechperformance you don't need to break any laws to accelerate to the speed limit in 1st, nor do you need to break any laws to at least rev it in neutral, damn boomer
@@Stripping_Bolts nowhere near a boomer, not even 40... If I give it full throttle in first it will just do a rolling burnout... Again, not trying to piss off the neighborhood...
@@erayhan35 so then your deaf? Significantly louder than stock, significantly louder than a Tesla. But hey I guess if it's unable to set off every car alarm on the street and make you universally hated as well as quickly deafen you as the rider I guess it's just "as quiet as a Tesla". Whatever you say...
@@mertechperformance no offense big guy. I'm sure ,the video sound quality is not there, I was just teasing. A close caption may help you to promote it better.always respect to sweaty work no matter the outcome. 🤙good luck.
No problem, I wasn't trying to be an ass, just to say their was too much noise from traffic or be closer to the pipes, then we can hear the exhaust tone..
I'm 5'10 with normal length proportional arms and they're a bit forward. Feet are right under your knees not forward. I'd like mine about an inch higher and an inch or two closer but they work pretty good to me. You'd have to sit on one. If the bars were straight they'd be a LOT further forward. Might look cool but would be at almost sportbike forward lean. It's a fun bike.
Had same bike been riding for years best one ever owned shame it never sold
Love how yours is all blacked out too.. (Still a black 2003 Valkyrie here, but eyeing this one for a while ) :)
Thank you kindly.

Sweet, sweet, sweet Honda Valkyrie!
She handles that bike pretty good.
Nice... thank you. I needed this..
We need more details on the mid pipes! I would love to do this setup
Love that Prius.
?
More details pls, did you change just the muffler, what Yoshi mufflers are they
Yes just the mufflers. I used canisters from an earlier Hayabusa. Bought adapters to fit between the two pipes.
@@mertechperformance thanks
@@mertechperformance do u feel the performance? Do u have torq hoops also
@@TheChevy1973 no torque loops. Can't much say I feel a difference although I'm sure there's less back pressure and a smidge more power.
@@mertechperformancecan you point out what adapters you used for the mid pipes?
What seat is this?
Corbin Gunfighter.
hello my friend
can you tell me detailed type name of your Yoshi?
thanks
They're from a first gen Hayabusa. I did have to make buy and fit adapters to fit as well as adhere the chrome exhaust shields at the front as they lock into the stock mufflers.
@mertechperformance thanks you well noted. About performance remains ok with the Yoshi? You noticed any difference?
@@kostaskatsipis8439 Seems about the same. Has to flow more but nothing noticeable other than sound, looks and lighter weight
@mertechperformance Good news!!! If there is no issue at performance, all the others are very welcome, I thought. Any other advise regarding the moto? I will thinking to buy one next few days. Sorry to bother you
Hello
What motor oil do you use in your Honda Valkyrie 1800.
Thank you and best regards
I run rotella t6 in every motorcycle I own
Google is awesome for these questions. You actually came to TH-cam to ask about oil?
What saddle bags are those
Saddlemen tactical
@@mertechperformance I'd love a video of how you mounted them
@@Nick-cf6ji posting said video now.
Looks like Sacramento
Dunno how you got that from a generic suburb but yeap. Rosemont.
What windscreen is that?
Mra Vario I can add the model number later tonight
Was it a Wasp fart???
Almost clever but alrighty.
What bags and wind visor are you running in this video?
Who cares ffs
Saddlemen tactical bags on OEM bag mounts and OEM bag stays. The windshield is made by MRA and the model number is KBA 37960
What were we listening for? I heard one little split second blip and you let off and parked it.
Sorry I didn't make the video well enough for your standards. I'll do better next time massuh.
My drilled stock pipes on 2014 Valk sound louder/deeper lol
I'll take your word... Guarantee they're more restricted and heavier. Enjoy your bike.
@@mertechperformance not more restrictive, its literally a straight shot from where it bolts up to cats to exit of exhaust. Might be a bit heavier, nothing a good poop cant even out :D

Did you drill out the dummy tubes and the plate just behind the dummy tubes?
wtf was that, exhaust video and you short shift into 2nd, doing about 13mph? You ok in the head?
Sorry I didn't make the video well enough for you.

@@Stripping_Bolts also fwiw was going about 40, not 13.
Still too quiet!
Then gut the cats and run just exhaust tips vs mufflers
Tesla!
?
@@mertechperformance As quiet as Tesla...
@@erayhan35 so then your deaf? Significantly louder than stock, significantly louder than a Tesla.

Top much traffic noise, can't hear the pipes... Try it again somewhere with less traffic noise, and more revs..
Not much traffic but ok.
I'll try to make my videos more to your liking next time.
I did what I could with the help I could get ...
No problem, I wasn't trying to be an ass, just to say their was too much noise from traffic or be closer to the pipes, then we can hear the exhaust tone..
😂 that sounds terrible like a strong scooter
rosemont is beautiful
It's something alright, ha ha
id have to get some straight bars to replace those stock handlebars...just my preference being 6-0....those come back farther than i thought
I'm 5'10 with normal length proportional arms and they're a bit forward.
Feet are right under your knees not forward. I'd like mine about an inch higher and an inch or two closer but they work pretty good to me.

@@mertechperformance yeah thats what i like, straight arm i like to lean forward a bit too especially with the foot pegs underneath
@@mertechperformance may be getting one - but havent seen aftermarket handlebars,,,,ill keep looking
