Thank you, I promise more vids soon, I’ve got lots of new bits to review. And I love the Himalayan, did you watch Itchy Boots’ channel, when she traveled through India and through South America,? That Himalayan is amazing!
Ol @ADVMIKE is on a Norden Expedition now aren’t ya buddy? Just watched your video with the kick stand sensor messing up on ya on your trip. I’ve got the same Norden Expedition and will now be subscribing and following you both along. Got 4000 miles on mine and about to do a lot more Moto camping now that I have more luggage. Explore safely my Norden brothas! 🏍️💨
@@advmike heck yeah! Feel so blessed to have made it a reality for myself too. And that Himi is a nice one too! I have a couple CRFs and te300i for the deep woods that I enjoy too but oh boy is the Expedition not a beast! You did real well dealing with your sensor by the way. Not sure I could have done that so hopefully without you having issues I can learn from watching y’all! ✌🏽🏍️💨
Get one Magnus! Do it! I got an Expedition and 4000 miles in and just scratching the surface of its off road abilities. On the road alone she’s a beast! More fun on dirt and gravel. Get one! 😁 🙏🏽🏍️💨
I did this mod as well on my 901,though I used the mid pipe with the baffle in it (also a cheapie). Louder on cold start, after that idling you can’t even tell, that is until you crack the throttle and then the fun begins. Unfortunately mine was totaled two weeks ago, sitting at a traffic light waiting for the signal to change I was hit from behind by a girl in a pickup truck which drove me into the car in front. Hopefully soon Norden 901 - 2.0 , after the recovery though. 🚑
@SPENJERE I’m really sorry to hear that brother, I hope the injuries to you are small in comparison to what the bike went through and I’m gutted for the loss of your bike too, they are replaceable but each one is special. Hopefully the insurance payout will more than make up for it. Maybe you should write to Husqvarna, maybe they will have sympathy for you and bump you up the waiting list for an Expedition model 😄 regarding the mid-pipe did you go for one of the welded titanium ones or did you find a good stainless one with the the silencer like the Arrow pipe.
@@EverymanADV Thank you sir for the kind words, I used a cheap eBay stainless steel pipe around $75 US ( surprisingly nice quality, very nice welds ) . As far as the insurance payout goes we’re still waiting for the adjuster to come up with a figure, and my local dealer has a standard 901 and an Expedition in stock.
@SPENJERE I prefer the colour scheme of the standard 901 but it’s got to be an expedition all the way, what you get for your money sickens me 😆 I want that suspension on my bike
@@EverymanADV I get it, I really like the black and gray scheme of the original. And I was just getting ready to order the touratech suspension kit front and rear too … 🙄
@SPENJERE The standard back shock is ok for me and I haven’t played around with the adjustments to see if it needs a tweak for my weight yet but I believe I have already bottomed it out once on the road when I flew over a pretty decent dip on a fast road. I’m just jealous of the better shocks on the Expedition but I’m very happy with my bike as it is for now
Arrow de-cat mid pipe & ti-silencer , Rotty intake & cannister removal kit Rapid bike tuner , Camel heat shield , local dealers top tech sys it runs noticeably harder smoother and cooler than new ones , id agree but dont have frequent comparisons like he does. to me feels snappier in the mid range stronger off the bottom and doesnt have that lean-out gaps up high also no stumble off idle or cold start hesitation anymore.......... im thinking of taking the mid pipe out to wrap it in heat tape and re-install maybe for further heat reduction ??
Heat wrap could be a good shout, I had not thought of that, I ran it off-road for about an hour in the heat and I didn’t suffer from the heat issue with the de-cat. My plan now is to swap out the straight through version that I have for one with a mid silencer/spark arrestor.
@@EverymanADV well i saw another guy use heat wrap tape so i didnt come up with it on my own but he said that made a bigger difference in reducing felt heat alone than the de-cat and heat shield combined
Nice mods. Looking forward to installing quad lock with wireless charging on my, but did not yet figure out all the parts I should purchase. Speaking of the mid pipe - seems like the one from arrow does mute the sound a bit, but costs quite a bit more. I think that is the one I’d rather go for however to avoid the bike being too loud.
So for the Quadlock, I purchased the NICECNC low mount, then the Quad Lock 360 Base - Flat Rectangle 4 Hole, and the vibration damper, the Weatherproof Wireless Charging Head, and lastly the DC 12V to DC 5V USB Adapter Converter which fits under the Sat Nav mount and provides power from the ignition switched power cables that are there ready for you to use.
Also, I’m in agreement on the Arrow mid pipe, I think the slight bit of sound reduction it offers would be good, problem is it’s about 6x the price of what I purchased 😁
@@EverymanADV looks like 901 Expedition already has the low mount... and - the 12V to DC 5V USB adapter was one of the things I was not sure about. Read in one of the comments that apparently "all the needed cables are already there" - but mostly the person responded to original poster saying that there was no need to take off all the fairings and wire the Quad Lock USB adapter directly to battery... I see than. Guess will have to go for the adapter too. One part of me still telling me: just go for the Touratech Ibara Smart bag that mounts on the steering wheel and save some money... However - that prebuild GPS mount just asks to create an ultimate cellphone GPS mounting solution with no visible wires... 🙈
@Ivan K. I’ve not looked at the Expedition close up but if I would think it would arrive the same as the standard 901, with the blanking cap covering the hole were the Sat Nav mount sits, the NICECNC mount is essentially a wedge of anodised aluminium that replaces the blanking plate and has four threaded mounting holes which are in the standard pattern for Sat Nav brackets. The larger Sat Nav mounts like the one that Husqvarna supply are for things like the Zumo XT, I have one of these mounts too but when I added the Quadlock setup the phone protruded too far over the screen.
@Ivan K. Also I didn’t use the Quadlock power adapter as I thought it was too big, I used one of these… amzn.eu/d/jj4R8ZD this sits nicely hidden away and wires into the ignition switched 12v supply that is provided right under the Sat Nav blanking plate. Just be sure you know which wire is positive and which is negative as the wire colours on the 901 were not as I expected….and I cannot remember which was which now so I suggest you test first.
@@EverymanADV I've found the NiceCNC mount to be quite heavy and also not fitting snugly. I wonder if it'd stress the mount too much on eg. off-road rides. The NiceCNC mount has a flat bottom surface and does not fit perfectly _in_ the recessed mounting area so will potentially shift and put extra strain on the side-bolts or plastic mount-base? The original (hard-plastic) 'tower' mount is a lot lighter and has a couple of 'feet' that make it fit better IMO. But that would not work with your QuadLock setup or RAM arms. Ideally I'd like to see a lighter (flat, non-tower-) mount with APMS holes that fits like the original. What is your experience fitting the NiceCNC mount?
@@DavidHundI did not use the CNC tower version, I used the one that looks like a wedge, it’s small, low profile and allows the space needed to add the QuadLock mount, I have no issues with it at all, it fits perfectly, it even comes with a milled out section for your power cable which the OEM standard plastic one does not
nice mods and great videos. I will have the 901 Expedition coming spring. Will install the quad lock with wireless etc. Will I need the NICENC low mount? Would you know that? Also: could you kindly provide a link to this low mount? I really struggle finding this online. Many thanks. Best regards Klaus
Hi Klaus, if you run the same setup as me you will need the low mount, the tall mount will bring the phone too far forward. This is the link to the one I purchased a.aliexpress.com/_mrPaari
I deleted the cat and installed the Arrow pipe. I left the stock muffler on and you can hear it when you get on the throttle but it isn't too bad and I do not like noise.
Thanks for the message, I have thought about swapping for the Arrow mid-pipe on more than one occasion as I assume the small silencer must do something to deaden the sound a little more than a straight-through mid-pipe does. I love the way it sounds now though, it is just so different from stock it was quite a shock at first.
Good morning, did you feel any loss of power? Does the bike have the same behavior as the original catalytic converter? or is the decat arrow the way to go?
Hi there, no loss in power, feels a little more responsive, it’s really hard to tell, I’ve actually kept the decat as it is because I’ve got used to it, when the bike warms up its sounds great. Sound is half the fun for me. I have however found a company making a decent replacement cat to keep it all legal, I think I’m going to get one of those. I suspect if you want a decat, the Arrow one would be the best but it’s pricey.
To be fair you started it with the noise going straight into an open garage which make it louder. I have done mine and it cruises just fine, open the taps and it barks. Quick shift pops! Plus car drivers can actually see me now 👍
My advice, try and find a decent one with a resonator, the Arrow decat is good, I’m happy with mine but would just tone down the rasp just a little with a resonator….sounds amazing on the upshift with the quick shifter
@@EverymanADV it's too late, I sent your video to my friend and we both ordered one LOL. He's got a KTM Adventure and I've got the Norden, hopefully it's not too crazy
I mate! I have a Norden too and I was wondering to buy a decat, a cheape one also. I saw plenty of them in Aliexprex but Im not sure enaught … where did you buy it?
Had you compared the performance and sound to Arrow deCAT mid pipe with stock muffler? People are scaring me about Aliexpress one compared to the Arrow…
I would prefer to have the Arrow Decat as it has the resonator, I doubt there is much difference in performance. My recommendation has always been if you really want to decat then pay for one with a resonator if you can, I just wanted to try it without paying the money I actually really like it as it is now but will likely swap it out at some point. I personally do not see any issue with the AliExpress pipe, the quality of the one I bought is very good. Go for a resonator though if you can.
Of course, I hadn’t thought about that, I’ve now added lower crash bars too so that is another thing that would need to come off similar to the expedition skid plate.
I am following up on doing the cat delete I had a slip on the bike took off the stock Muffler had a pretty good sound at that just use the cheap slip on I bought off of eBay but I think you could also get it off of that AliExpress for cheaper but anyway I did take the cat off and with the cat in the aftermarket slip-on it was way too loud so I put the factory Muffler back on and it's okay for riding a couple hours but if you're doing it all day trip down the interstate and everything it's very annoying so I'm probably putting my cat back on and putting the cheap slip on on and taking off the factory Muffler taking the cat off and using the factory muffler sounds good for a couple hours but on a long road trip it's very loud
Yes, sometimes the noise is a bit of a trade against practicality. When you have the standard cat, it’s never too loud but never sounds good, when you have the cat replacement it’s sometimes too loud but always sounds good…and less heat 😊 I’m still looking for someone to build a replacement Cat that is not so stupidly big, heavy and hot.
Hi, I’m not sure 100% what you mean, do you mean how do you get the phone off the Quadlock charger? If so, the back is spring loaded so you push the charger head down whilst you twist the phone case clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you want to share an email address I can send a video. I leave my Quadlock phone case on the bike because I change cases when not using the bike and I don’t want to loose it.
No man com on it’s perfect, you must keep it and get the wings muffler to go along with the mid pipe, that’s my plan anyway when I buy this bike. BTW nice Puig screen it looks pretty good. I wonder how much it protects.
The Puig screen is nice but it’s got an issue as far as I can tell, I get wind buffeting that is more like an annoying vibration, so now I have opted to put the additional adjustable spoiler on the top to see if that eliminates it, as soon as I test it I will report back
@ Roverroko I agree, I was trying to avoid a spoiler, Puig actually sell the touring screen with the optional spoiler as a package. If I duck my head about 3 inches the buffeting goes away, maybe I’m just a little too tall for it and I need the spoiler….we’ll find out soon enough I guess
Yep, I’ve lived with it for a few weeks now and the novelty value has worn off, it’s too loud, it makes an absolutely amazing noise, but a bit too much. There must be a market for a hi-flow cat with a spark arrestor that frees things up, allows a little more noise….just not “too much!” 😉…reluctantly the cat will be going back on this weekend.

Hi, I have the iPhone 15 which is rated IP68 which means it will handle getting wet on a bike fine. The key is to use a wireless charger as cable chargers don’t work well when water gets in. I use Quadlock mounts and wireless charging head, with Quadlock you buy a phone case that is specific to your phone, when the bike is switched on the wireless charging head is live and when the phone is mounted it starts charging automatically. Quadlock kits are modular so you need a combination of Quadlock parts to make the mount including a vibration damper. I get so many quests out my setup I’m thinking of taking it all off and doing a video of the components and how it all fits together. Hope this helps?
Hey buddy, the Puig screen in my video, I took that off, I thought it was going to work well but it really didn’t for me it was actually worse than stock, I got lots of buffeting, I actually prefer no screen 😄 When you say winglets, what are you referring to?
Not noticing any heat build up in the right leg like I noticed before, but as I mentioned in the video I never really suffered from the heat issue as bad as others have, but I would definitely say that the heat I feel now is just normal unavoidable engine heat. I love the sound now too, makes riding far more enjoyable. I’m just slightly paranoid now that it’s too loud :)
@@EverymanADV great thank you for your reply. I am sure the sound is very loud and very nice 😊 I plan to do the same thing once I buy my Norden. Surly it’s more pleasurable riding with the de-cat link pipe, but in fact it makes the bike more lightweight and upgrades the heat dispersion. But the best thing about the bike being more loud is safety, everyone in traffic can hear you, even feel you coming. Makes for a safer ride. I love my pipes loud on every bike I own and ride. Once I buy my 901 I will mount the Arrow mid pipe and Wings muffler. Very nice sound system set up like this has.
BTW is 2 must be a lot alike. First time I saw the Norden I thought to myself that spot is perfect for guadlock dampener and wireless charger. The power is already there it just needs a lower base from EBay and hook up, just perfect 👍 And now I heard you talking about it 😊cool
@Roverroko it’s definitely one of the best Quadlock setups I’ve ever had on a bike and stops me from throwing another load of money at a Garmin right now, I’m not sure I’ll ever need one to be honest
The part I purchased is no longer available but this is similar a.aliexpress.com/_ExHmnc3 This is a welded version, the one I purchased was a single piece that was formed to shape. I prefer the ones without welds. I’ve seen them on eBay but they usually cost a bit more than they do when you order direct from China.
That windshield is now long gone, if it was any good it would have probably stayed because the stock one is pretty poor for wind and weather protection, but the Puig screen gave even worse wind blast than the standard one. I think the only way forward is to get the expedition screen but I will probably try and find a decent aftermarket one so I can still have the smoked finish.
Yeah the bikes are identical apart from the, suspension, paint, screen, heated seats/grips, luggage and bash plate, all parts are interchangeable with the stock model
It’s not as loud as I first thought to be honest, it’s fine the way it is…some standard bikes are louder, just sounds great when you grab a fist full of throttle.
Mine may be a little too loud, but the stock system sounds far too restricted, the problem with this bike is that you have no real sound other than the clatter of the two pistons, drivetrain and the muted exhaust tone, and together these don’t sound great. But if you can open things up and give it a little more of the big twin sound it would be a far more enjoyable experience. What I think is needed is a derestricted high-flow cat and then match that with a decent end-can from Akro, Remus, Arrow, Wings, HP Corse etc and you’d be on to a winner but I haven’t found the high-flow cat yet, if it exists, somebody please let me know 🙏
You have not only voided your warranty , but without a tune your bike will be running lean and eventually burn out your valves. People will criticise me, but it's reality.
No criticism on this channel, we’re all friends 😁 As I mentioned in my videos the decat is only a temporary step for me, I’m still looking for a solution to replace the original, I’m contemplating having a lightweight cat made and then a tune but for now I’m not covering many miles as I’m busy with work. I appreciate all the feedback and support for the channel.
Why would anyone want to draw more attention to themselves by having a loud bike - it's annoying for everyone else and gives the public another reason to hate us? Why don't you just leave your bike as it is, and ride it more(?).
Why do people feel the need to criticize others for their life choices? Besides having some sound gives some extra safety and the heat is known to destroy the shock.
It’s all cool, everyone is entitled to an opinion I guess, my only observation is that the majority of people give it the thumbs up, I rode it all weekend at Europe’s largest Adventure Bike festival and of all the thousands of bikes there, mine was nowhere near the loudest….I honestly thought about putting the cat back on so many times before I went, but I’m so glad I didn’t, when the bike is out on the road it’s not that loud. I still do want a decent resonator in there or ideally an aftermarket cat that doesn’t strangle and cook the bike as much as the stock one, but I’m not in a rush, might even see about getting one made, I’m sure it’s possible!?
@@Nothern_King I'll give you three reasons: 1) The extra noise causes even more hate from the public; 2) Amateur 'mechanics' making unnecessary and stupid modifications adds to the risk and disappointment for buyers of used bikes; 3) in this case he's buying rubbish from China. Please at least support you own country or Europe.

I am following up on doing the cat delete I had a slip on the bike took off the stock Muffler had a pretty good sound at that just use the cheap slip on I bought off of eBay but I think you could also get it off of that AliExpress for cheaper but anyway I did take the cat off and with the cat in the aftermarket slip-on it was way too loud so I put the factory Muffler back on and it's okay for riding a couple hours but if you're doing it all day trip down the interstate and everything it's very annoying so I'm probably putting my cat back on and putting the cheap slip on on and taking off the factory Muffler taking the cat off and using the factory muffler sounds good for a couple hours but on a long road trip it's very loud
Yes, sometimes the noise is a bit of a trade against practicality. When you have the standard cat, it’s never too loud but never sounds good, when you have the cat replacement it’s sometimes too loud but always sounds good…and less heat 😊 I’m still looking for someone to build a replacement Cat that is not so stupidly big, heavy and hot.
please show me getting the phone cover off the quad lock , i have the same setup and need to leave the case on also
Hi, I’m not sure 100% what you mean, do you mean how do you get the phone off the Quadlock charger? If so, the back is spring loaded so you push the charger head down whilst you twist the phone case clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you want to share an email address I can send a video. I leave my Quadlock phone case on the bike because I change cases when not using the bike and I don’t want to loose it.
How much weight was removed?
I didn’t weigh it unfortunately but it’s a lot, that cat is a lump? Good few kilos replaced by a little bit of stainless
No man com on it’s perfect, you must keep it and get the wings muffler to go along with the mid pipe, that’s my plan anyway when I buy this bike. BTW nice Puig screen it looks pretty good. I wonder how much it protects.
The Puig screen is nice but it’s got an issue as far as I can tell, I get wind buffeting that is more like an annoying vibration, so now I have opted to put the additional adjustable spoiler on the top to see if that eliminates it, as soon as I test it I will report back
@@EverymanADV it should help
Will test at the weekend
@@EverymanADV Ok but I hate spoilers as something to ajde on. Why use those when there Are many different screens out there aftermarket
@ Roverroko I agree, I was trying to avoid a spoiler, Puig actually sell the touring screen with the optional spoiler as a package. If I duck my head about 3 inches the buffeting goes away, maybe I’m just a little too tall for it and I need the spoiler….we’ll find out soon enough I guess
I had a 990 took cats /mufflers out and put a straight mufflers... I could stand it like 10 min of riding... Slip ons are great not so decat
Yep, I’ve lived with it for a few weeks now and the novelty value has worn off, it’s too loud, it makes an absolutely amazing noise, but a bit too much. There must be a market for a hi-flow cat with a spark arrestor that frees things up, allows a little more noise….just not “too much!” 😉…reluctantly the cat will be going back on this weekend.
Could you put a link to where you got it?
Sure, it was from AliExpress, see if this link works..

How do u keep your phone water proof?.link to phone adapter s
Hi, I have the iPhone 15 which is rated IP68 which means it will handle getting wet on a bike fine. The key is to use a wireless charger as cable chargers don’t work well when water gets in. I use Quadlock mounts and wireless charging head, with Quadlock you buy a phone case that is specific to your phone, when the bike is switched on the wireless charging head is live and when the phone is mounted it starts charging automatically. Quadlock kits are modular so you need a combination of Quadlock parts to make the mount including a vibration damper. I get so many quests out my setup I’m thinking of taking it all off and doing a video of the components and how it all fits together. Hope this helps?
Ciao , posso chiederti quanto lo hai pagato e il sito dove lo hai acquistato ?
Hi, I can no longer find the link to the one I purchased but this one is similar.

You want to let Dave an the guys know at MAD tv.
Do the people that do the screen also make the winglets???
Nice job.😊
Hey buddy, the Puig screen in my video, I took that off, I thought it was going to work well but it really didn’t for me it was actually worse than stock, I got lots of buffeting, I actually prefer no screen 😄
When you say winglets, what are you referring to?
How is the heat buildup now?
That’s what I’m wondering
Not noticing any heat build up in the right leg like I noticed before, but as I mentioned in the video I never really suffered from the heat issue as bad as others have, but I would definitely say that the heat I feel now is just normal unavoidable engine heat. I love the sound now too, makes riding far more enjoyable. I’m just slightly paranoid now that it’s too loud :)
@@EverymanADV great thank you for your reply. I am sure the sound is very loud and very nice 😊 I plan to do the same thing once I buy my Norden. Surly it’s more pleasurable riding with the de-cat link pipe, but in fact it makes the bike more lightweight and upgrades the heat dispersion. But the best thing about the bike being more loud is safety, everyone in traffic can hear you, even feel you coming. Makes for a safer ride. I love my pipes loud on every bike I own and ride. Once I buy my 901 I will mount the Arrow mid pipe and Wings muffler. Very nice sound system set up like this has.
BTW is 2 must be a lot alike. First time I saw the Norden I thought to myself that spot is perfect for guadlock dampener and wireless charger. The power is already there it just needs a lower base from EBay and hook up, just perfect 👍 And now I heard you talking about it 😊cool
@Roverroko it’s definitely one of the best Quadlock setups I’ve ever had on a bike and stops me from throwing another load of money at a Garmin right now, I’m not sure I’ll ever need one to be honest
I want one of these bikes.
I hope you get to enjoy one, I’m still loving mine.
Link for pipe , getting a 901 expedition in a few weeks
The part I purchased is no longer available but this is similar

This is a welded version, the one I purchased was a single piece that was formed to shape. I prefer the ones without welds. I’ve seen them on eBay but they usually cost a bit more than they do when you order direct from China.
They actually sell on Amazon now…

Sounds great. Does it cut down on heat?
It definitely does, there’s a lot more room for air movement and it’s all physically further away from you and the shock.
That Norden has nothing on a Twin Cam Harley with a 2 into 1. It's not as loud by comparison.
It definitely isn’t, you’re 100% correct there
L9ve it
Thanks, so do I
I am going to leave my cat on.
…..sung in a Tom Jones voice 🎤
@@EverymanADV LoL
i don’t even mind the sound - it’s the HEAT.
heat heat heat , legs and rear shock was my concern , well aside from just making the thing run right
I’m just surprised nobody makes a decent aftermarket cat to fix the main issue, tempted to have one made myself
That windshield is absolutely hideous, mate. It ruins the good looks of the bike... Nice vid though, I like it.
That windshield is now long gone, if it was any good it would have probably stayed because the stock one is pretty poor for wind and weather protection, but the Puig screen gave even worse wind blast than the standard one. I think the only way forward is to get the expedition screen but I will probably try and find a decent aftermarket one so I can still have the smoked finish.
@@EverymanADV Thanks for the reply. Reviews of the Expedition model says good things about that screen. It probably fits the base model 901 too...?
Yeah the bikes are identical apart from the, suspension, paint, screen, heated seats/grips, luggage and bash plate, all parts are interchangeable with the stock model
Just get a decibel blocker
It’s not as loud as I first thought to be honest, it’s fine the way it is…some standard bikes are louder, just sounds great when you grab a fist full of throttle.
Loud is out🙈😢
Mine may be a little too loud, but the stock system sounds far too restricted, the problem with this bike is that you have no real sound other than the clatter of the two pistons, drivetrain and the muted exhaust tone, and together these don’t sound great. But if you can open things up and give it a little more of the big twin sound it would be a far more enjoyable experience. What I think is needed is a derestricted high-flow cat and then match that with a decent end-can from Akro, Remus, Arrow, Wings, HP Corse etc and you’d be on to a winner but I haven’t found the high-flow cat yet, if it exists, somebody please let me know 🙏
You have not only voided your warranty , but without a tune your bike will be running lean and eventually burn out your valves.
People will criticise me, but it's reality.
No criticism on this channel, we’re all friends 😁
As I mentioned in my videos the decat is only a temporary step for me, I’m still looking for a solution to replace the original, I’m contemplating having a lightweight cat made and then a tune but for now I’m not covering many miles as I’m busy with work.
I appreciate all the feedback and support for the channel.
Why would anyone want to draw more attention to themselves by having a loud bike - it's annoying for everyone else and gives the public another reason to hate us? Why don't you just leave your bike as it is, and ride it more(?).
Ride your own ride buddy, and enjoy the tappety silence, peace
Why do people feel the need to criticize others for their life choices? Besides having some sound gives some extra safety and the heat is known to destroy the shock.
It’s all cool, everyone is entitled to an opinion I guess, my only observation is that the majority of people give it the thumbs up, I rode it all weekend at Europe’s largest Adventure Bike festival and of all the thousands of bikes there, mine was nowhere near the loudest….I honestly thought about putting the cat back on so many times before I went, but I’m so glad I didn’t, when the bike is out on the road it’s not that loud. I still do want a decent resonator in there or ideally an aftermarket cat that doesn’t strangle and cook the bike as much as the stock one, but I’m not in a rush, might even see about getting one made, I’m sure it’s possible!?
@@Nothern_King I'll give you three reasons:
1) The extra noise causes even more hate from the public;
2) Amateur 'mechanics' making unnecessary and stupid modifications adds to the risk and disappointment for buyers of used bikes;
3) in this case he's buying rubbish from China. Please at least support you own country or Europe.
No need to get upset, or throw insults around….if you don’t like it here, there’s a door
Now it sounds like a bike .!!!
I wish I could capture the sound, it sounds great on full tilt 😜
Which aliexpress part did you order? They list numerous. Thanks
I cannot find the exact one, this is the closest match…
