thought i better come back and say hi!!!
« on: June 20, 2011, 10:02:35 PM »
well guys after 4 years, i figured it was time to say hi again, and let you know that the F1 will be back on the road again. it took me a while to find the forum again, and i must say its looking as strong as ever.

looking forward to chatting all things honda in the future..

peace

Ben

Stick a couple of photo's up mate, i would like to see the bike and the pipe. Tranzac has changed hands a couple of times over the years and the pipes changed as well. They are 10 minutes from my place.

na the F1 was in the shed in OZ, extended storage, had an NT400 in NZ, was a beastly lil bike... but sold it.

was thinking check the link in my sig, that should have some pic there.

its a very nice pipe, though i did once drag the muffler on the ground, after hitting a pothole mid corner..... though it doesnt touch down any were near as early as the standard F1 muffler...lol




peace and thnx for the welcomes

peace

the full system cost me $500 5 years ago, so they are good value, bigger diametre headers, and the muffler can have the baffle removed if you are that way inclined, i found mine loud enough...lol

hope that helps

Ben, Welcome back. We communicated a few years ago regarding the Tranzac exhaust system. I didn't realise that you are from Cairns. I am originally from Innisfail but now live in Ayr - a few hours further south. If you happen to be in the Burdekin area send me an email and if you have time for a cup of tea/coffee I will give you some directions to our home - I have two F2s.  Regards, Pat
