Decided to fit the DB killers to the motad venoms i bought off the falconilists has i woke the next door neighbour who had been working nights. But riding the bike seems to have lost its oooomph. Dont get me wrong it still nips on but its not the same

Does the DB killers kill the power or is it coincidence

Well - yep that's about the size of it

Our engines like to breathe and fart well.... I prefer my renegades open but my neighbours are used to me :)

I have to fit the baffles to my gpr cans next week for the MOT. It'll be the first time they've been used, so I'm expecting the bike to be alot quiter, and not so eager. At least it is only for a day though

I found it hard to tell the difference.

If i remember the supplier said a drop of 2 or 3 BHP which is hard to feel on the road when normaly using 60 to 70 of 120BHP.

You might simply be missing the "grin factor" empty exhausts usually produce (excluding neighbours working nightshifts ;))

Mine seems to pootle along fine with the Venoms and db killers.
Does seem to have a fueling issue at about 11k though, just stops pulling.

I just got hold of said Venoms, sound great but not quite as good as my Leo Vinces were

. Did you find one "killer" was spot welded in place and one was loose?, or is it just me!!!. Not run without them in yet, got my 15T front to fit tomorrow, good times!!!!.

Not reaaly noticed the spot welds has i really didnt want to fit them, only for MOT if course. A 15 tooth front sprocket mill make the falco a lot easier to live with. If only the wife was has easy to live with

Mine are held in the end of the tailpipes with screws. I've not seen any the same yet so I'm guessing they're just generic baffles that someone attached.

mine are also held in with a screw fitting but then mine aren't venoms

I thought that was where the real ones went. Maybe I've got two lots.
