Flatfish sells some throttle stops for £30 which are worth doing, I know there a lot of money but bst wheels are worth the money over termis, use your money on them and decore the standard system for a couple of quid
You can split the standard cans and take the baffle etc out quite a few people have done it and someone posted a step by step guide of how to do it on here, if it's noise your after and power Austin racing is the only way to go
Will have a look at the 'step by step' Thanks Not really after any noise I had an sc project pipe on my 821 hypermotard, it was so loud it would set car alarms off when I started it!!!!
What you 'must buy' is a little subjective really, for me I had to have the Termi cans whereas a lot of people are happy with the standard ones, also I wanted to replace as much of the cheapo looking plastic with carbon bits, but again, it's not really essential, whatever you end up getting for it I'm sure you'll have a blast riding it!
I've got standard cans on my 899, way, way loud enough! Ask my neighbours I'd like termis for the deeper tone but not essential. I changed the plastic bits for carbon, hugger, chain guard, front bumper, key surround and suspension guard. Got it venture shielded and an evotech radiator guard (essential) oh and an R&G side stand shoe.
It's commonly quoted that Termi's with baffles in are actually a little quieter than the standard cans, that's what I found on my 1199 and a few others I've read said the same thing. My baffles are out mind, my neighbours/wife love me for it
induction noise on the 899 puts the 1199/1299 to shame. The noise is intoxicating. I wouldnt be too worried about a termi on the 899 if it was mine.
Hope so!! Deposit paid Pick it up on Thursday Just really hope I don't crave for more power as Im more used to 1000cc inline fours when it comes to sports bikes.
With respect to the OP I really think people should take a good look at their riding on the road if the 848/899 series bikes don't have enough power... Fine if u want 'grunt' ie like a diesel but honestly the 899 will be fine. It has the same power that r1's/blades and not much less than the zx10 from the mid 00's... Sorry I know it will be controversial but power is all relative.
I've got; - Seat cowl. - Rad guard - absolute must IMO. - Tank Pad. - Alarm. Aftermarket I've got; - R&G Paddock stand bobbins. - R&G Tank grips.
I would of liked a 1199 really but I ride my bikes and the 1199 eats rear tyres and heavy on fuel so I went for the sensible option but we always want more power!
The 1199 IMHO (don't flame me!!) is very peaky and I found a little disappointing. A 1198 I am convinced would make me squeal but the 1199 was just so top endy, which is cool if that's what u are expecting, when I got on it I was coming off my 848 Evo and genuinely thought it was quicker sub 70-80 out of corners, until I learnt to ride a 1199.
Currently; Dark screen Rad guard R&G Chain and shock guard Tank protector Pillion pegs removed Tail Tidy Will be getting the carbon hugger/fender, exhaust and key guard next up.
