Hornet Love

[Doomsnite]

Have spent this weekend tarting up my first big bike.. a Hornet 2001. Was very grubby with lots of stickers I hated plus had a stubby carbon exhaust that was a bit too loud for me. Swapped it out for the original exhaust which I got with the sale, I just prefer the look (so I have the other for sale if anyone interested?! (first photo))

Mods to date
Gold Renthal Handlebars
Gold brake fluid reservoir lid
CB1000R Mirrors (by me)
Goodridge Brake Hoses
Scorpian radiator cover
Indicator alarm
Crash Bungs
Screen
Yellow engine hoses
Carbon effect front & rear indicators
Removed mudguard & raised number plate

Work Planned
Rear Hugger
Polishing downpipes
New tail tidy or indicators as standard exhaust fouling the rear right indicator
Belly Pan
Front mudguard extender
New taller, darker screen if i can find one, as the wind just hits me in the face with this existing one!

Sorry this isn't about your Hornet...ok I'll mention the Hornet first.

First bike I thought about getting after passing my test....didn't, got a Ducati.
Nah...sound bike.

So about that ground anchor. It looks nice n neat. Is it made of metal?

How much for that stubby...

[MissBex]

Looking good Doom, I agree on the zaust, Prefer the original to the stubby. Seen quite a few Hornets with the scorpion cans and they look nice as they are similar size to the original.

[Doomsnite]

Oh yeah, didnt realise your side panel was off. I'd take £40 + p&p unless paddy makes a counter offer just have to find a box big enough at work to fit it in and quote the postage.

That standard exhaust is vile, much preferred the stubby one, but if it was mine I'd be looking at a medium sized can.


But its not my bike, its yours. Looks good, enjoy it

I do believe Mivv make a similar shaped one called the X-Cone if you want the same style.

FWIW I prefer the stubby

Cheers mate, looks quite nice those. Bit skinny but has the pipe running right to the body. I dont really like the thick cans with a skinny pipe you can see running down a inches before it disappears to the link pipe. Can you buy thicker heatsheilds to cover them?

I might be talking like an old person, but I would not have an open performance pipe on an original Hornet unless it kept the nice OEM heat shield, or was a nice Titanium megaphone shape pipe that fitted like the stock pipe does.

Stubby can's are a massive fail looks wise!
