My first micron was on my ns125r, I put it on and took it round the block for a spin and when I got back it came straight back off and I sold it back to the shop at a reduced price……it was way too loud for me , I hated it. Must admit it did look the part though, Micron ruled the 80's in exhausts, can't remember many other brands that was even close to popularity. Nice video mate, keep up the good work. 👍
You been eating that autosol that burp
Now that’s how a fireblade should sound! Love the look and it takes it from being a bit bland to how I think it should have looked standard. My best mate used to race (Chris Martin, you may have heard of him) and it reminds me of race weekends at the bsb rounds.
I remember buying a micron alloy race can for my new cbr600f in 95 , sounded ace , definitely a period accessory for your blade , I’m looking forward to hearing that go down the road
To remove the glue/sticky residue from parcel tape, one of the best things to try is to dab small amounts of lighter fluid on it and work at it bit by bit
As you're refurbing it/polishing, you may as well go the whole hog and disassemble it, to knock out the dent, or heat it and use a glue/puller tool
Quill were great back in the late 90’s. Sounded great on my RRV ‘Blade!! 👍
I had it on my 2003 ZRX 1200 R , what a sound! Sold the Rex 2019 and bought a 2015 ZZR 1400 PS, the Zed has a full Brock's megaphone system and there we talk about sound an power too!
Hey very nice, over here in Ozzie we use a hair dryer to soften the glue then slowly peel of the tape
Great video, i also remember cutting the cone before fitting my micron for a bit extra sound !
I had to click just for the name of the channel.
Hair dryer to heat the adhesive as you remove it.
White spirit to remove the residue,go gentle and the box will be fine.
Go with polishing around rather than along the length.
Didn't bother with micron for my RD500lc, went straight to the FZR1000 genesis.
The motad datum on my GSXR750j was excellent, leave the silencer off with no rev limiter for the loudest thing I've ever heard.
I have 122 db v&h on my HD,put a clip on my channel.
Need full exhaust my old Cbr have the especial edition serpent full exhaust amazing sound and power
I also still have my RR954 and have the Micron Serpent System in the Scorched effect, I should get a video up.
