Enzo Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 V50, I love the "none more black" look! Great. How did you paint the forks and rims? Is that powder coat? or a spray job at a shop? Did you do it yourself? It looks great. If it is paint, I wonder how it holds up on the rims. I heard powder coating the rims might damage the structure to some extent.

The forks are anodized black(instead of the silver of 00-01) and the wheels are painted/coated black from the factory.... well, it's really a dark gray. al
Guest Frankie100Chili Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Can't wait for the sound clip! Here Quat-d sound 1 Quat-d sound 2 Quat-d sound 3 pump up the volume and smile

I hope my Goose sounds that good with the FBF installed or I might want to switch over. Why can't we just run straight off the headers?

v50man Posted May 16, 2005 Author Posted May 16, 2005 Alright guys -- I've heard these posts of Frankie's bike before. Mine is still in the shop for tuning but -- with all due respect -- that bike sounds positively ANEMIC when compared with the "race" Quat-D. I'll post sound files as soon as I get it back. Didn't want to rev it hard prior to tuning as it was running so lean after the new exhaust went on. When you hear it -- you will weep...

Guest dolph Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Slowpoke - The "race" version of the Quat-D is accomplished by ordering it from the factory with the catalyser removed. Or, you can remove it yourself, as a plate and rivets are provided. Cost was 740 Euro + 100 Euro for shipping (got here in less than a week) -- and this is for the COMPLETE KIT (headers, muffler, etc.). Sound is VERY AGGRESSIVE but still CIVIL. If you email Quat-D, Manuel DeLiso will walk you through the process. Hope this helps. 51276[/snapback] What is 740 euro in American dollars? Looks GREAT by the way!
jrt Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Yeah, I like that little button of a fairing. looks cool.
