T'Bird Café Racer

The BB kit does make a difference. 15 ponies according to the factory. Around 20-22 with the "performance" air filter and the long TOR pipes (the short ones are way too loud IMO). Torque also "feels" enhanced as well.

This response of mine might be a valid comparison, as I had the Swiss press/demo unit (the std 1600cc) unit on loan to me for half a day last August. And I felt it was a bit underpowered for my taste.

We 're snowed under here. So two months after taking delivery of it, I have only managed to lodge 132 miles on it:(.

If you wish, I' ll report back once I am done running it in and/or when global warming condescends to manifest itself in Swiz. , whichever comes first ;).

That's pretty cool looking. I don't think I'll be doing that to my T-Bird, however. As far as silencers go (or lack thereof, lol), you should check out the Faron Razorbacks clip on Youtube. They're kind of strange looking, IMO, but man they sound fantastic on the T-Bird; best I've heard. They'd be too loud for my liking else I would probably buy them. I doubt I'll change mine, but if I do I'll likely go with the D&D Boss slip ons or British Customs Hog Slayer pipes. The Hog Slayers sound almost as good as the Farons.

The razorbacks by far sound the best. Although the sound clip was when somebody was riding up an down the street so you dont hear the whine. I would like to hear a clip of it when its sitting and rev'd just to hear the comparison.
