Fitted some Showa USD forks to my 851 and finally got round to fitting the Verlicchi megaphones

Less flex from the front end under heavy breaking plus the showas are adjustable everything (pre-load,compression damping and rebound damping ) so I need to have a play .

Their not exceptionally loud , But I wouldn't risk running them on a modern bike

The 851 is 19 year old now and the cans would have been an original upgrade back in the day

Don't look as loud as an older R6 I seen get turned around at the toll gate at the ring, his "can" was no bigger than and I kid you not a regular coke can, infact it had less girth than a coke can. what a joke, should have just left it straight pipe.... was hardly worth the effort imho.
