Rvf exhaust on a Vfr

Post by Tim400GB »

This maybe an obviously answered question to some but ...

I have bought a RVF oem full exhaust system, minus the rear manifold headers and can.
Will it bolt straight up to my VFR nc30 with nc30 rear manifold?

Guess I will find out later if it does or not, would rather know now before spending any more time/money on it.

Yeah, I have a 35 exhaust on my 30 and can attest to the sidestand hitting the underside of the link pipe when retracted. Other than that, it seems to work well.

I wasn't sure about the stand clearance, the nc29 stand hits the rvf exhaust on my 30.

Well, the stand on my 35 is very, very close to the pipework, and would be even more so if the edge of the foot wasn't burred over quite a way. I'm assuming it's the original of course, and I've certainly not changed it. All the pipework is original. I seem to recall eyeing up an RC45 once and there appeared to be a small indent in the pipework to allow the gear linkage to move without the end of the linkage colliding with it....

Theres ways around it as nearly every aftermarket system ive fitted to a NC has touched the side stand. You can either space the side stand out and/or glue a solid piece of rubber in the gap between the stand itself and the stand mount to stop the stand retracting all the way.

I'm not too worried about the side stand, sure I can find a way around that.
Just read somewhere that Rvf ones were different and it got me worried.

Different bolt spacings on the frame is the only difference i think
