Having looked at the Austin Racing GP2R and not being able to get a pass from the boss to shell out £800+ ... Now looking at the Racefit Black edition which is more realistic at about £500+.. Does it require a power commander after fitting?... And what's it like to live with?..
I had one on my 2011 blade and loved it. It is loud, but I didn't find it over the top, but I only use my bike as a toy. If I'd commuted on it, then it might have been different. I had mine mapped on a PCV, and I felt the mid range to be a lot better, but RaceFit claim it doesn't need mapping. Plenty of info on here about them. Check out YouTube, There's a clip of mine on there.
They are ridiculously loud. My friend has one on his 10 plate, it makes my ears bleed when I ride with him. Sounds amazing on full chat but the rest of the time it just droans. To me it's nice a 'nice' sound, you might aswell not bother having an exhaust on the bike. Doesn't need a PC but like all bikes it would benefit having one and running a custom map.
If you do buy one I have a custom map from an 09 with one fitted that a forum member sent me for a PCV. My friend installed on his 10 plate and says it's made a difference. If you need it let me know and I'll send it to you.
Cheers Jim... I found it last night on YouTube .. Sounds and looks fantastic... Think I'm going down that route!!!
I'm going to go up to Racefit and see them at their unit ... Been speaking to a lad today and there customer service is fantastic [emoji2][emoji2]
Your dead right, their customer service is second to non as far as I'm concerned. I guess it helps with them being a small company. I purchased my exhaust at one of the Bike Shows a few years ago, and always pop by their stand to say hi, they always remember you if you've dealt with them in person, always ask how it's going. They're down to earth guys and I'm sure you'll be happy with your exhaust. They are loud, but if that's what your after, then you won't go wrong.
I've been instructing this weekend and have had a lad on a GSXR 750 with a custom made Racefit... Sounds gorgeous and the look and fit is superb... Will be going up this week [emoji106][emoji6]
If you think yours is loud, listen to one without the baffle. I notice yours is the growler fitted with baffle, my friends doesn't have it fitted. It's ear splitting loud.
