You will love the noise a SuperTrapp makes and you can tune it with more or less discs.
I have a set on my CBX and just cant get enough of the noise -

never heard one in the flesh on a 4 cylinderso thought why not!
I want a kerker on the VFR eventually but will have to get something made up for that as not many companies sell after market stuff on any quality. especially not Kerler orthe new interpretation of the brand.
I've ordered a couple of extra rings to help with tuning but we'll see what it looks like when it get here. :D 8)
Youre CBX sounds absolutely superb with those on. Thanks for that.

Right, scored these for $25 today with a view to tickling them up. Absolute bargain I thought.
Has anybody cleaned and revamped a set of these before? I was thinking gloss enamels from the model shop………thoughts?
My tank is having some panels put over where the emblems were as I found some pin holes so to be sure, having them snotted up so I thought once painted, double sided foam tape and jobs s good un. Anybody had a disaster with these or have a really cool way of stripping/painting them
that I’ve missed?
I was going to start to clean them up whilst here to have something to fiddle with if I get a chance.

Roo, never done Honda badges but have done some old Triumph ones that were similar in the way they were made. I thinned down some enamel paint and used a dropper bottle with a very thin tube (like a sawn off hypodermic needle) I then 'filled the area and let the paint level out. I neede to do this a few times as the pain was quite thin but the result was excellent. These were the blunt needles:
