JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSTALL VIDEO AND ANSWER TO MY LAST QUESTION. I INSTALLED MY BLACK WIDOW ON MY 2018 MT07 AND HAD NO LEAKS. IT'S DAY TWO NOW AND I LOVE THE SOUND!
Thanks man! I honestly didn't feel that great about it but I had too much work invested in this to scrap the video, so I appreciate the kind words more than you know.
Sure your legs are white... but your video was so awesome i never noticed until you brought it up... great job... like, fantastic comparison... got right down to it and didnt waste time during the important part.
I just got a brand new 2018 MT07 last week ... first thing I did before even riding it for the first time was fit the same Black Widow exhaust that Smiley is using ... Mine went on quite easy, no silicone, leaks a tiny tiny bit at the clamped joints only, is solid as a rock and sounds freaking awesome :) I've put just over 100 miles on it now and the breaking in is going great so far :)
As a matter of NEED, I don't know honestly. I would certainly recommend it however. I rode the bike with both the DNA filter and the Black Widow on without being flashed and I could definitely tell that it was going lean, it didn't have the same power it did when it was bone stock. With the tune it'll be as smooth as ever and will have even more low and mid range torque, which is the best part about this engine IMO.
As always - loved it! And oh Billy, dem' glorious legs .. Haha! Have you considered shortening or drilling a couple of holes in the DB killer to get a sound experience somewhere in between 'Out of the box' and 'BRAAAAAAP'?
Mad53n OOOHH BIIIILLLLLYYY! Haha yeah that is definitely an idea I may pursue on down the road. For the last week I've run the baffle in as I work second as a courtesy to the neighbors, and I sure do miss the braap!
Hey Smiley, what kind of rear stand are you using? I was pretty bummed out that the FZ swingarm isn’t tapped for spools like my R1 was. I have a harbor freight swingarm stand but it’s mediocre at best.
TravFlyer Moto and Airplane channel I can't remember the brand name right off the bat and I'm on my phone so I can't find a link but it's the cheapest one off Revzilla.com. The part that sucks is like you say not having a place to put a spool. I just use the other side of the stand which is a rubber pad to go under the swingarm, works just fine. Wait, I think the brand was trackside or something like that. I'll update later man, thanks for the continued support
Hey man great video, baffle out makes this thing sound mean! I was just curious if you could send me a link to the exhaust and tuner that youre running. i cant seem to find a website in the states that sells the black widow system. any help would be super appreciated!
I'm sorry I never did put any links and I can't right now on my phone. The only place I've found the exhaust is on EBay just search for it and it seems Revzilla and a few other places carry the flash tune kit
How did you go about fixing those leaks? I'm still deciding between a Black Widow or an M4 exhaust, and I'm skeptical about the design quality of the Black Widow now.
It was Permatex, the high temp sealant with copper specifically, worked like a charm. I wouldn't be too terribly worried really, 90 percent of my trouble was self inflicted.
Fitting mine on Friday........ What size bolt was it that broke dude? Might pick one up beforehand just in case I'm sure I read the same thing on a forum somewhere 😏 still liking the intro though 👍
I have no idea, which hopefully you've got it installed by now and didn't need it. It was easy enough to find at home depot if you were to run into the same issue it's not terribly hard to overcome.
Hi-Viz Smiley all fitted with no broken bits pmsl 😂 although it was a total pain in the arse to line up without touching the back wheel...... Now all I have to do is not get pulled over by the UK police for noise pollution 😂😉👍
Thanks man, you're the best! I honestly never do any long rides on either one. I plan on doing some 2-4 hour round trip rides when it cools off but that'll probably be the extent of it. The CRF's seat is awful, and the wind blast is terrible on both at highway speeds. Of course, the wind of the FZ is worse most of the time because I'm on average doing like 20 mph faster, and it honestly wears me out hanging on the bars for that long.
Tuddex Hi, I can share my opinion on the exhaust. I just bought the 200mm exhaust for my MT-07, I have the baffle in and it is LOUD (nice sound but a bit loud for my taste). If I could choose again, I would have ordered the 300mm instead.
I have run 80% of the time without the baffle, and it's probably going to stay that way from now on. With the baffle in it has the same great tone, it just gets turned up to the max with it out. It's loud, there's no nice way to put it, but it sounds SOOOO good I can't help it. If you had bad/complaining neighbors it would be tough but I don't care so that's no issue for me. As far as taking it in and out, it's super easy. There's a little rubber plug on the bottom of the muffer at the back you take out and there's one 5mm Allen bolt that holds it in. Take the bolt out, pull the baffle out, put the bolt back in the baffle so you don't lose it and put the rubber plug back in the muffler. Literally takes 60 seconds, couldn't be easier! Thanks man, let me know you need to know anything else!
Just got a 2017 FZ07....same color as yours..luv it! Been riding for 48 years..probably the funnest bike I've owned..had about 50..ish. Traded my 09 venture on it...done with the land yacht. BTW.. Leave the intro.
When you did your review you told us that the transmission is a bit chucky and you hear the clicks, do you still hear it with that new exhaust and do you feel it hard when you shift?
Yes and no. I do still feel/hear it coming out of neutral into first, and from 2nd to first, although not nearly as noticeably. The same goes for all the other gears and noises, but they were quieter than 1st and 2nd to begin with, and are mostly drowned out with the exhaust now. It never bothered me much before and it still doesn't now, but I as a habit seek out any noises like that to make sure nothing is rapidly going wrong, like a engine knock or something to that effect. Therefore, I probably notice stuff like that more than the average guy/gal.
I hate them but hate the smoked tailights too so I'm stuck with them for now. I probably will go through all the lights as my last set of upgrades for the FZ. I'm happy with it at this point. Nice to see you back homie!
Seems you just bought cheap shit, and half assed the installs.. After watching your videos and seeing the fading anodized [parts, the mirrors falling off.. I ask my self, why people buy this shity and say " ill just buy another for 30$ @! " could have spent 60$ and had a good product you didn't have to replace.
Don't I make that clear though? I mean I completely agree, and I try to convey that on camera. I also done an overview of all the mods up to this point in a later video and I'm completely honest about that. I think if I was taking all of this super serious I could be called out for being an idiot, but I say it first and try to be clear when stuff probably cheap junk.
This man knows how to make an exhaust video
sam jam ham mammogram Thanks homie!
Eggsactly
Genuinely best exhaust video made, it's so good.
Thanks Brandon, I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it

Happy days! Glad to help my friend
Best exhaust comparison vid I've ever seen on youtube
I just bought a 2016 fz07 it has the different shape black widow exhaust on it I love it, def sounds better with the baffle out
Get my black widow fitted to my 2018 night fluo tomorrow cannot wait to wake fkrs up at 4.30 am going to work 😂
I love my black widow, good shit!
It's sooo good. I don't know how I rode the thing before
That intro made me subscribe instantly. Rock on and ride on brother!
Thanks man! I get so sick of hearing it and have contemplated taking it out several times, but people seem to enjoy my garbage playing.
Awesome video man! Exactly what every exhaust video should look like.
Thanks for the detailed video. I really enjoyed it. Very informative and cool edits. Keep up the good work sir! Drive safe.
EXCELLENT video.
First time seen such a good video about exhausts, very nice
Great video man. you did a fantastic job showing the comparison with the video of you riding.
Thanks man! I honestly didn't feel that great about it but I had too much work invested in this to scrap the video, so I appreciate the kind words more than you know.
that full system is super easy to install. thanks for video ✌️
Can you give me the link from where you bought the exhaust please
How far is exhaust from rear tire? I mean, what distance you have between exhaust and tire in the back?
I'm looking at the Black Widow for my Honda cbr650f love the MT tho, stunning bike.
Sure your legs are white... but your video was so awesome i never noticed until you brought it up... great job... like, fantastic comparison... got right down to it and didnt waste time during the important part.
Mt 07 is a beautiful and amazing motorcycle. I like
Sounds good. Ill be looking for an exhaust for my 2018 MT07 after it breaks in. This will be on my list.
Oh man you know the struggle then, I kept my stock exhaust on for almost 2000 miles. It's criminal how quiet these are stock.
I just got a brand new 2018 MT07 last week ... first thing I did before even riding it for the first time was fit the same Black Widow exhaust that Smiley is using ... Mine went on quite easy, no silicone, leaks a tiny tiny bit at the clamped joints only, is solid as a rock and sounds freaking awesome :) I've put just over 100 miles on it now and the breaking in is going great so far :)
Do you need Flashtune if you only use the exhaust and original air filter?
As a matter of NEED, I don't know honestly. I would certainly recommend it however. I rode the bike with both the DNA filter and the Black Widow on without being flashed and I could definitely tell that it was going lean, it didn't have the same power it did when it was bone stock. With the tune it'll be as smooth as ever and will have even more low and mid range torque, which is the best part about this engine IMO.
Do you know if this exhaust will fit a 2019 mt-07? Have been looking and see they fit the 2018 but nothing on the 2019.
Kind of a late response lol, but yeah they do. Engine hasn’t changed
Nice video mate. earned a new subscriber
Great sounding bike either way, but after hearing it with the baffle out I couldn't ride it with it in😍😍😍
Thanks for this video. Really helpful. Going to go get me a black widow?
Now that's how you make a video!
As always - loved it! And oh Billy, dem' glorious legs .. Haha!
Have you considered shortening or drilling a couple of holes in the DB killer to get a sound experience somewhere in between 'Out of the box' and 'BRAAAAAAP'?

This is the exact one. 60 bucks and nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

Is this the 200mm or the 300mm version?
200
Hey man great video, baffle out makes this thing sound mean! I was just curious if you could send me a link to the exhaust and tuner that youre running. i cant seem to find a website in the states that sells the black widow system. any help would be super appreciated!
I'm sorry I never did put any links and I can't right now on my phone. The only place I've found the exhaust is on EBay just search for it and it seems Revzilla and a few other places carry the flash tune kit
Does this full exhaust fit on a 2018 mt 07? and also if it does can you link the website and page where you bought it? :)
I have no idea on fitment. The only place I've found these exhausts is on EBay and there is a bunch of different muffler options
How did you go about fixing those leaks? I'm still deciding between a Black Widow or an M4 exhaust, and I'm skeptical about the design quality of the Black Widow now.
Correction, what type of silicone did you use? lol
It was Permatex, the high temp sealant with copper specifically, worked like a charm. I wouldn't be too terribly worried really, 90 percent of my trouble was self inflicted.
Well nobody is perfect and I'm far from it. Hopefully when I get my black widow on, it'll go smoothly. Thanks man.
Sounds Great. I'm seriously considering the fz07 or mt07 for my next bike. Cb300f has been good to me but it's time
You'd love it dude, you gotta try one out
@@HiVizSmiley I plan on it man! Just have to adjust to that torque hehe. Don't want to loop myself out 😅
Great video🤘

Great to see your videos again! The baffle out definitely sounds better on video. What's the longest you've ridden your bike in one go?
Thanks man, you're the best! I honestly never do any long rides on either one. I plan on doing some 2-4 hour round trip rides when it cools off but that'll probably be the extent of it. The CRF's seat is awful, and the wind blast is terrible on both at highway speeds.

Out 🥰
Nice shirt
Thanks man, it’s vintage
Thank you for this video!
Will you go with or without baffle? Is it hard to get the muffler out and to put it back afterwards? (Make a video?)
Tuddex Hi, I can share my opinion on the exhaust. I just bought the 200mm exhaust for my MT-07, I have the baffle in and it is LOUD (nice sound but a bit loud for my taste). If I could choose again, I would have ordered the 300mm instead.
Elias Hestnes Hi! I see... So you do not plan to take the baffle out haha? Thank you for your opinion
Tuddex hehe no that I am sure of! :P

Thank you!! Can you show me a pic on the tool you used to get it out?
Just got a 2017 FZ07....same color as yours..luv it! Been riding for 48 years..probably the funnest bike I've owned..had about 50..ish. Traded my 09 venture on it...done with the land yacht. BTW.. Leave the intro.
Shoot yeah! I love hearing stories of older guys getting into this naked craze, these things are so fun. Thanks man, I appreciate the comment

i too keep the stock signal light at the back.. lol
I hate them but hate the smoked tailights too so I'm stuck with them for now. I probably will go through all the lights as my last set of upgrades for the FZ. I'm happy with it at this point. Nice to see you back homie!
