Wanting the Moriwaki slip-on canister

[Rocky_imp]

Oh dear, oh dear, I knew I shouldn't have started following this thread
I'm usually well satisfied with factory exhaust systems and am never in any hurry to make any changes.
But now that I've seen the videos and read the comments I'm beginning to feel a tug to make a change.
Now look at what you've done! Be ashamed everyone! It's all your fault

Rocky, just start photocopying a $20 bill... in colour = will take care of all bikes mods

funny you should say that.
I just did some running of numbers on exchange and to just get a Moriwaki here is a bucket of money - then there are the feds to deal with.
It's not looking so attractive now and my conservative Maritime nature (common sense) is taking over and starting to say, "Do you really need it at that price?"

The everlasting battle - want vs need and vice versa.

I truly admire people who exhibit good common sense on a regular basis as there seems to be a shortage of this characteristic in today's world. I kind of threw common sense out the window when I purchased a brand new CB1100, especially while already owning a perfectly good motorcycle. While my wife is no fan of motorcycles, she could understand the desire when she first laid eyes on the CB.

But when I purchased the Staintune there was simply no explanation that was going to fly when asked why I spent so much money for a muffler when the bike came with a brand new one in perfect working order. it was one of those times in life where the only explanation I could offer was that I just really wanted it (ah that golden chessnut known as the truth). I can tell you that day was not an exceptional one here at the CB1100 Forum World Headquarters. (My next ride on the CB with the new can mounted on the other hand was exceptional indeed.)

well, I don't always exhibit common sense because, like you, I had (still have) a perfectly good motorcycle in a 4-cylinder Honda CB900F (919 in the US) and certainly didn't need another 4-cylinder Honda.
Whatever it is about the 1100, I just couldn't resist. I have no regrets whatsoever as both bikes are quite different in their own way and both are such a joy to ride.
Mr. 900F is a bit of a hooligan while Mr. 1100 is the more mature and refined guy but with suppressed hooligan tendencies should the mood strike
This muffler issue is still nagging at me and I'm teetering on the fence
