My Seca II headlamp conversion

I fitted a Cobra F1S exhaust (from the early 9o's) this past weekend. It looks great but I'm not certain I like the sound as its quite loud.

 

They look good though.

 

Lovely

 

Here's a video I shot yesterday (65F in February; whoda thunk it?) showing how the exhaust sounds with the bike in motion:



As the exhaust packing breaks in, the exhaust is beginning to mellow out. I quite like it.

 

Absolutely stunning bike!

I'd say the exhaust has an rather addictive tone right in the 7-8 grand range under load. Curious to know how you got such good sound quality off you helmet cam?

beautiful bike with a sweet sweet sound!

FU

 

It's a run-of-the-mill GoPro Hero 960 I bought on eBay a few years ago, cheap. The thing has a good microphone in it.

 

Repacked the exhaust using a different technique and its toned it down quite nicely to something I can live wiht. It still sounds great but now much of the raspiness is gone.

 

Im not sure how i havent seen this thread before. Fantastic job man! Now you have me thinking about a seca II...

 

that looks smooth and sleek, GREAT JOB!!

it's nice to see how streamlined a bike can become in the right hands.

(could i do that? probibly not... but i'll try to learn all i can from others.)

 

I have had several Seca II's. They're a good platform for customization as many of the later-year Yamaha parts will fit them. Since they're cheap and usually not in the best shape, condition wise, you don't feel too bad about cutting one up or modifying it heavily.



I do keep a stock Seca II in the garage too, though, which I use for touring, dirt roads, long trips, etc.




Here it is last year on Phantom Canyon Road in southern Colorado (now that was a fun ride):
