Been a bit of conversation about the Force pipe recently, so I figured I'd throw these up here.
Pipe is(was) for a '99+ model, so I tweaked it a little to get it behind the '98 frame.
I personally love the sound of the Force pipe, but over here in small crowded Holland, I seem to be the only one. Neighbours always feel obliged to tell how they were able to "hear you for five minutes before you got home...." the Police aren't as polite.
So I've modified it to fit either the Force megaphone, or a Wileco (which I was able to pick up for a good price). Gives me the best of both worlds. Power when I want it (dyno & track days), and less noise for street use.
Now I just have to find some more time to actually get it onto a dyno....

I was just as impressed that he was a Heineken drinker! If the locals drink it... it must be good... and not just for export.

I have an old laptop on the side box of my tool box!

Nice bike and exhaust Peter!

I think the deal is that his tool box, and the bike, are in the living room. Real estate is very expensive in Amsterdam. But hey, when ya got the coolest friggin S1 in existence, it deserves a warm room!

I hate you Peter.

Heineken good.

Tripper,

Actually we've moved. I now have a garage again.

Daves,
No, but I got a call yesterday from the person that bought the place in Amsterdam, saying that there was a parcel there for me to pick up. Maybe that's it.

Beer is next to the computer. Fridge is under it :)

I took the turbo off to do a track day earlier this year. (I knew I was going to crash if I didn't....)
I half-heartedly have it for sale, but I'd also like to put it back on next winter and play with it some more.
At the moment the bike is making good power without it. I just have to get it to a dyno to see if there's more still hidden in there.....

Daves,
The parcel was, in fact, the T-shirt.
Thank you.
Also to you, Court.
Pete

Has anybody else altered the tuber Force exhaust to be less loud.

I often don't ride hard -- because its just soo loud.
