Back in the 1980's through to the early 2000's I always installed a 12v air compressor running a single air horn on my bike. I used to commute for many years into and out of central London early morning and late at night due to night shifts. My route was from Sunbury on Thames to St Catherine's Dock. That air horn certainly saved me many times from trucks, black cabs and cars......the reactions I used to get when someone cut me up and I pressed that button were priceless, NO ONE EVER IGNORED IT. Better to be safe than sorry, Standard horns on bikes just do not cut it.
Hi mate, the bike looks and sounds amazing! I like the popping and banging when coming off the throttle, just wondering is it not harmful for the engine in any way? I installed slip on on my royal enfield meteor and ran it without baffles as the sound was great but got bit unsure if that popping is not bad for the bike and put the baffles back in as it stops it bit the nice sound is gone…
@@ptysiallo so…. Not sure. But what I have heard is that, the bike will make those same pops and bangs but it is just soo muffled out by the cat and the exhaust baffles that you don’t hear it. Additionally by removing the cat, the heat under the bike is a lot less, the cat retains a lot of heat from the exhaust (it has to be hot to work) and by removing the cat it runs cooler which may be better for the bike in general.
It won’t harm the engine 🙂 There will be tiny differences in air etc but the fuel injection system will compensate for that so don’t worry, and enjoy the sound!
@@midlife-crysis thanks!!, i have a t100 and love it. If your bike is 2023 100% sure that it has ABS and it is actually activated, you cannot deactivate it from front wheel for security haha. Thanks for answering and enjoy!!, extremely nice bike!
when i say activated, i have pulled the brakes really hard, and never felt the abs jutter effect, but also never skidded. so guess the abs didnt need to activate.
Through the underpass at 4.27, my eyebrows started twitching 😅

Air horns are the best!
Badass as fuck !!! I'm getting a bobber for christmas and im getting those thorton 100 twisted pipes put on there
You should try one with lower gearing, it's even better! 😁
Headphones…. Full volume! Or you’re not watching it right!
Instructions unclear, i need to use sign language now .-.

That’s what I wanted to hear! I’m taking my baffles out again! Keep those videos coming bro, great channel!

Hi from Argentina, what is the year of the bike? does it has ABS? Thanks! :)
2023, i think it has abs, never had it activated.

Nice, but no where near the loudest bike in the U.K.
Depends how close you put your ear to the exhaust
