Hi fellows! I recently fitted the long awaited exhaust, which albert666 made specially for me. It is his reverso design, but with some changes to make the exhaust pipe longer for more aggressive look - kinda plough. Lots or fewer of you, probably, know about the quality level of his works. I must say, that if someone would made better, than should he show us that!! I was looking for something special, which would make me feel good every time I hear it so as look at it. All those jardine, FMF, HMF, Remus, Termignoni and others which stick diagonally out from the belly - not my cup of tea. So albert666 made it better than anyone. I was thinking to order one from free spirits, but they told me they discontinued production and no way they'd make one for me. Lucky me!! (after all) I saw that he did single reverso, but I like the double reverso, which free spirits made for their race bike, but he told me it's impossible to make one for road bike because of side stand. So we decided to build the single one by my specs. The sound had to be a bit of surprise for me, but I was calm, cause the can length and diameter plus the length of the collector pipe ensured me, that it will not be unreasonably barking and therefore - tasteless. The craftsman job made me absolutely sure in my choice when I received the exhaust!! The installation took me half an hour, which is less than to dismount the stock one. Everything fitted perfectly – albert666 supplied all necessary spacers and nuts. I say no more - see the picures and listen to the sound.
Funny, the one WITH the baffle sounds like it has more of a bark than the one without the baffle. Neither one sounds excessively loud. Must be because of the longer muffler--I'm guessing this is one of the quietest aftermarket 1125R exhausts, considering that practically all of the other exhausts have much shorter/smaller mufflers. I'm not really sold on the looks, but the craftsmanship looks really good and it also sounds very good without being too loud.
A very good accolade, I have one of the earlier compact ones that Alan made and it still looks new. Sounds a little harsher with more of a 'cackle' which is the 1125 nature and I love it ! He's an excellent man to deal with and a true Artist. Enjoy
I will, my friend, I will))) I also will make a video outdoor, cause these two made in concrete underground parking and it sounds louder and drummy, so it even brought some elder woman in pyjama suit to us begging to not rev any more)) Poor lady told us her flat was shaking - you know this british cardboard houses))))
I still think that's plausible, my barkers dumps out under my ass and I can smell it a little In traffic so that seems like it would as well, if not more
