- So in today's video I went through the full install of full Carbon 400mm Black Widow exhausts on my Honda CBF1000. I also do a quick sound comparison as part of the install but I'll have a more thorough video of soundyness coming soon :) I also run through tools you need and my thoughts on the kit and install itself :)

Would you buy a black widow exhaust system? Let me know :)
Oh oh you mean exhaust system lol
Yessir :P
Would it make my V Twin sound like a real bike?
Your bike already sounds tasty....just isn't loud enough :P 😂😂
@@BryTheBiker "real" bike lpl
Carbon makes me wet. ALMOST 2K SUBS !!!!!!!!!!
Stock exhaust sounds like aids
Thanks Toaster
PROVIDED YOU HAVE A SECOND PAIR OF WOMAN HANDS
Did you turn it on without a pipe for a minute?
Looks way better for sure man
Only scales I use is for my cocaine (just kidding its for coffee)
What car is under the cover?
Do you have access to that digger just outside?
Bike sounds like ear sex
Full carbon would be funny on that bike
I like the exhausts because they are not stock :)
Ride safe mi amigo (am I spanishing right?) :D
Me too. In all the right places. Almost, I'm just not watching it tbh, not cus I'm too cool for it or anything but because I'll never not be looking at my phone then 😂😂😂
It gave me ear death and now I have no ears 😂
Yes. Woman hands are essential to all exhaust fittings 😂
I did....I'll have that extra clip in the noise test video 😁
Scales for coffee is essential, I weigh my coffee with my eyes and how fast it makes me poop.
Hahaha it's a secret ;) And also my Dad's 😂 (and hopefully my inheritance)
Yes. JCBs are so much fun 😁
I'm so happy with the sound :)
It'd be rotten looking tbh 😂😂
Si si por supuesto :) Y tu amigo
Was your bike running? I couldn't hear anything? Thanks Toaster! Carbon is beautiful! Do they sell a single can version? Would get one if they did or do you prefer the dual? I hate imperial sizes to. Like why?!?! Death to all DB killers....that sounds weird. A clamp that fits, stop it no fun in that. Well done getting that clamp to work. Even with the baffles in it sounds SO MUCH better. Wow, no baffles sounds AMAZING, yes stick with that. To much carbon is not good, a bit here and a bit there, I want mostly color on my fairings.
Hahaha they built the perfect ninja bike. They do sell a single can version but not for my headers, and the Gen02 single can headers don't fit, I like the dual exhaust look anyway :) I have no idea metric is so much easier. Hahaha, let the war begin.
Thanks, it....baffled.....me for a bit :D So so so so much better, why drown out that lovely exhaust note :'(
Haha I was joking don't worry :) I also want to add some colour :)
Great video, can you tell me where you bought the 400m BW cans?
I'm looking on the UK BW site and they're now only selling 200mm and 300mm silencers for the cbf1000.
Don't see your 400mm ones there.
Thanks
I bought them from RPM in Drogheda , but they were available on the website at the time too. It'd be worth sending them an email tbh as they might still be able to put a kit together for you :)
As you already know, fitted the dual 300mm stainless ovals to my white CBF Thou, forgot to thank Toaster! great job... I'm sure you have a video explaining the name, but why Toaster? lol
Ah she'll get over it I'm sure :P She says you're most welcome! :)
Haha it was buried in an older video with the Magna, no real reason tbh :D
Hi
Was Db killer included?
I want to buy Black Widow exhaust full system and I don't know, I have to find correct db killer and also order? 🤔😉
Yep my one came with a db killer, you can buy a db killer direct from black widow anyway if your one wasnt to come with one.
Looking for one for my 07 cbf1000 fa and on ebay my year is not there did you have the same problem ?
Nope I found them easy enough, here you go :)

If it sounded any better, it would sound like a Kawasaki ZZR 600. Sounds wicked man. Can you get fake carbon Wrap?
Haha we can't be that lucky sadly :P Thanks bud :)
I definitely could....hmmmmm 🧐
Réal Nice kit dude, lovely sound. Passed the IBT the other day shopping for a wee bike now 😊😊😊 what's next on to do list??
It's not too loud either which is lovely :) Ah nice congrats!!! What are you looking at? Ehhhmmm....unsure as to the very next thing, possibly suspension tbh. We shall see :)
@@TheGorillaBiker I'm not too sure to be honest, I completed the IBT on kawasaki ER6F and actually liked it, not sure I want that size a bike to start with though, really like the cb500f I looked at this morning. Only issue would be that I'd have to then rent a bike for full test but I don't mind that so much.. Decisions decisions haha
"Just use the metric system!" Yes. All of this. The US Customary System (slightly different than Imperial) is now pegged to Metric and a lot of manufacturing works in Metric but the results are US Customary. It is the dumbest thing ever but then look at this country and dumb is just the way we appear to want to do things 🤦🏽♂️
Ahhhh yes I've come across this also 😂😂 I really don't get why everyone doesn't just use metric, and in my job I have to use imperial a lot too as I work with American companies a lot, it's just making life hard for yourselves 😂 Ah every country has their stupid things! If it was oooonly a measurement system we all had to deal with we'd be doing ok.
Evening. One question if I may. What about servo , apparently it can fell out or smth, did you see it at all?
There are no servos on the mark 1 so you're all good :) The mark 2 does have them I think, but I don't see how they could fall out! They're on cables.
Thank you so much. Thinking of getting proper exhausts finally and then fitting them myself. Do you still love yours same as a year ago. If not black widow was there anything else that caught your attention?
More than a year now I think and 16000 miles. Still love them and they've worn very well :)
They look, and sound brilliant! A huge improvement. Ride Safe Brother 🙏🏻
P.S. Thank You Toaster. 👌🏻😎
Thanks TBR :) I'm delighted with the difference :)
You too bud :)
Haha I've been passing on thank yous all day :D
That thumb nail!!!! Tomorrow on TGB why I left UA-cam to become a model
A male model idiot? Who can't turn left? :D
Haaaaaaansel.
Hey brother, how tall are you?
I'm 6'8" and I'm considering the CBF1000 as well as the FZ1 and GSX1250FA, and I'm really looking for comfort.
Bike sounds great.
I'm 6'7, I've done a first ride review on the CBF as well :)
I've had an FZ6 S2, seating position is very similar to the FZ1 and the CBF is much more comfortable, the GSX1250 is also very comfy.
Thanks!
@@TheGorillaBiker right on, I really appreciate the reply.
I'm currently riding a Yamaha Warrior 1700 which is a great bike, and much more comfortable with some custom forward controls but I'm still only good for about an hour in the saddle... So it's time for a change.
Not at all!
Ah they're a very cool bike, I've always found even bigger cruisers can still be cramped for tall folks. I will say if you want hours on end, ADV is basically made for us!
@@TheGorillaBiker you're not kidding... My dad has a goldwing and the main seat is so cramped for me I can (do) ride it from the passenger seat 😂. The looks I get from cagers and other riders is worth it haha.
Haha which one? The older ones are super cramped, the newest one looks ok, but who knows :D Not designed for us eh :P Haha definitely :D
Ha! I thought the exhaust was made by Black Widow Exhausts, a company based here in America, and I was smugly thinking it was payback for making us Americans double our tool set size to accomodate metrics, but it's a different Black Widow company based in the UK, so using the Imperial bolts IS pretty bizarre.
But they look great, and have a nice rumble to them :)
But even if that was the case you should all protest until everything goes metric because it's better ;) Haha maybe they just had a load of spares in the parts bin that were imperial and that's why I got them, who knows :D
Ah man I'm delighted with them :)
I had a Black Widow exhaust on my Tracer 900GT. Made it sound lovely. BW seem a good company who want to rectify any problems.
For the money, a bloody good buy.
I'm still very very happy with this one, sound is great and they've so far handled 13000 miles with very little wear to show :)
For the money they're extreeeemely hard to beat!
Yes I do like them. Would I want them, no. I am an old man. Double skinned chromium plate. You have a 1000 cc 4 cylinder and you worry about saving a few kgs. I miss big chrome exhausts. Carbon fibre is the thing of the moment certainly. I will just have to wait for things to go full circle. Also as a footnote I have never been one for fitting noisier exhausts. Good instruction video. Thanks Toaster.
I do like chrome on certain bikes I just wasn't mad on the shiny on this one. Oh I 100% agree, I got the carbon because I thought the looked nice, I've said before any weight saving is lost on me anyway....I could stand to lose more weight than my bike ever could :D I do like the old wide bore chrome cannons that used to be on some bikes, they were cool.
Yeah a lot of people don't like them, my dad included, but I just love them loud for whatever reason! :) I do understand the opposite I'm just winding people up :P Thanks Stephen :)
Thanks for the video I am waiting on my 2021 CB1000r to come in June.... This or the 200 mm can is going on her for sure.
Oh nice. Congrats on the bike and best of luck with it :)
The 200mm are pretty damn loud, that's why I went with the 400mm :) I recently did a track day you can get a good sense of the noise on the 400mm there or on the "raw sound" playlist there's a video with the CBF :)
Mmmm carbon :D One of the nicest looking pipes on the market imo, probably the best value for money too!
Finally another true carbon appreciator :P I agree on both counts :) Definitely overall up there with the looks, quality and cost :)
So much better 👍
Got the black widow exhaust on my 07 dl650 transformed the bike and agree with you... Baffle out 👍
Ah yes the stroms sound amazing with a nice exhaust :) Haha baffle out or bust :)
Niceee exhaust... hopefully it'll make people more alert to your presence on the road and they won't squish you! Sucks you has "fit" it more than you should have to! But at least you found that faulty clamp before it got worse!! You threw me for a loop at first, I'm like the hell does he mean by Imperial... lol I've always called them standard but i avoid them like the plague, i suck at fractions... metric all the way!! Oh oh and Hi Toaster, thanks for being such an awesome camera lady!!!! No carbon fiber fairings more videos with Toaster!!!
Yes, squish avoidance is very important!! Ah tbh it's really a non issue, I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of it as some people might just tighten it up and leave it at that. Hahaha well keep your standard bolts away from me also :D Toaster is great to be fair, we should have more coming soon :)
Interesting video. Good looking pipes. not sure if I could live with the noise though. Did they mess up the fuelling at all. or does the ECU automatically compensate?
Thanks. I love how they look on there :)
The noise really isn't much more to be honest, with the baffles in they're still pretty quiet.
Not at all, ECU had that much easily. If you put a higher flow filter on there you'd need a tune I would think. I'd like to get it tuned eventually anyway :)
watched a bit of this today while having 5 mins of skiving on my course :P
if i remember right you can pretty much use metric spanners ie 3/8ths is 10 mil, 1/2 is 13mil, i think their is a slight difference and their not exact matches but pretty close if i remember right, either way i used to use 13mm and 1/2 sockets to do the same job and the same with 3/8ths and 10mm... lots of those two sizes on a lot of old vehicles.
id gladly use imperial measurements if it banished the covid... the only time they get on my nerves is when theirs a huge mix and match for no reason, ive had a few landies that were a mix match of metric and imperial nuts and bolts.
carbon in moderation for me, too much of it and it looks try hard tacky, not saying its poop though just wouldnt be my style to have a ton of it... atleast bare carbon... painted wouldnt be too bad as you get the benefit of it without looking like your bikes wrapped in carbon bondage gear :P
Haha nothing like a bit of skiving :P
Yeah exactly, I thought it was a 10mm but it kept slipping when tightening it up properly and I was there scratching my head until I thought to check imperial. Very confusing 😂
Haha true that! I think we'd all adopt it for that! Ah mix and match is ten times worse..... I'd lose my mind 😂
Ah yeah j was joking about the fairings :P the exhausts is enough for me :)
You're right about the exhaust clamps rotting. I had a bit of work done on mine (done 26k miles) and both are just about rusted through. Luckily I found some replacements on Ebay for £23 for the pair, including the gaskets/shims. Can't complain about that 😁
Yeah I'm honestly amazed they're so so bad! I wonder why more manufacturers don't just slap on good stainless stuff, the price to the end user wouldn't be anything crazy different. 23 quid how bad! You definitely can't be complaining about that :D Must get new gaskets myself as I still haven't replaced them.
Carbon fairings would be sick, but stupid expensive. Also yes, I like them, they sound and look great.
They'd be crazy money for what would be a negligible weight saving tbh plus I'd still want stickers :D Hurray!! :D
Those cans really sound good and compliment the black of the bike. Nice one. You Got a nice, dependable, fruity sounding bike there. Enjoy.
Thanks :) Really happy with how they look on there! Haha aaaand it fits me :) Good news all round :) Thanks, I will :)
The size issue is from the factory fitted exhaust gasket, I had the same issue when fitting an exhaust the my Versys. A factory gasket would run you to about £10 per side. Does sound a lot better though.
Yeah that's what I thought, I still think that's poor enough though that it's not a part of the kit, I'd happily pay 20 extra for a complete fitment kit. Much happier with the bike now tbh :)
Big improvement with the sound and it suits the bike 100 percent. I probably wouldnt get an aftermarket exhaust for my bike considering its a 125 its not the nicest sound to be belting around the roads on
Thanks Francis I'm happy out with it :) Well it depends on the bike tbh some can sound lovely, but tbh if you'll be upgrading soon then don't :)
That looks way better than the silver torpedo that was on the bike mate.
Ah man the video doesn't even do them justice they're gorgeous :) And thank you!
Nice work man. Much better sound now and a nice weight reduction I'd say. I'm new to your channel and am in the process of buying a Hornet 600. An old vid of yours on one helped in the decision, thanks for that!
Thanks :) Haha the weight reduction is lost on me a bit tbh :P A few less takeaways would help as much 😂 Ah thanks! Glad to have helped :)
Sounds so much better with the black widow and they look so nice :D
It's becoming less of an old man bike :D Soooo nice. If you're at RPM could you ask if mapping it would get many of them boosts pls. :)
Imperial fittings on a metric bike??? I'm shaking my head as well as my fist.
Haha man it had me proper stumped, no makey sensey :D
Was interested in this as I'm considering a Black Widow pipe for the Strom. The awkward lower clamps are definitely disappointing. I have heard of lads having fitment issues with them on the Strom too. Also, who the hell uses imperial bolts any more 🤬
Sounds bloody good though!
I honestly wouldn't not get one due to that, they're just a size too big really the actual construction of the kit is excellent and seems really good quality :) Hahaha the imperial bolt confused the hell out of me, had me stumped for about 10 minutes :D
It's changed the bike for me :)
@@TheGorillaBiker I'll have to take the plunge so! It's a minor annoyance but easily fixed.
Hurray! They'll sound soooooo good on the Strom :) Yeah it's just that, annoying, but overall 9.7/10 :)
@@TheGorillaBiker Some decent V-Twin growl!
Whilst I wasn't bothered about the stock exhausts in retrospect they look and sound the business. That faffing about with shims would have me driven ballistic, dead right , not good enough. I have had the same imperial problem with stuff from USA for my Honda quad. Doesn't make sense when the exhaust is made in the UK. Why is Toaster so camera shy?
Yeah I'm very happy with how they turned out :) It turns out it is exactly as I said, they're designed to be used with the factory gaskets, my point still stands that that's also not really great and if that is the case they should just come in the kit! Haha ah does imperial ever make sense? :D I don't think so :D
Some people enjoy privacy more than others I suppose, me personally I don't care and have thick enough skin that the less than pleasant messages I receive roll right off. I understand her position though, same as the likes of Lucky Luke etc. Only she can really answer that question though :)
@@TheGorillaBiker True I hadn't thought of that aspect. I saw Itchy Boots saying she got sent some real nasty stuff. What's wrong with people? If Toaster wants to stay incognito fair enough, could make her The Stigess🤣
Yeah I've seen she's had issues with that, it's also a lot worse for women by the looks of it, worst case for me is you're ugly and fat etc....like...yup my own mother has said worse bud 😂 What's wrong is some people just are a-holes and feel safe online I think. I dunno.
Haha I'll have to get her the get up for it 😂
Hey man great vid, my Black widow was delivered today! I was wondering your thoughts on the exhaust paste that comes with it, I’ve seen a couple of reviews saying to avoid the paste and seal it with some silicone RTV.
Did you have any problems with the paste?
Nice, which one did you get? It hasn't failed me yet and it's been on there about 2k miles at this point! Silicone RTV would be better though if you could get your hands on it :)
@@TheGorillaBiker Thanks for the reply man, I bought the standard stainless one 400mm in black end can only.
I'ts going on a 2020 Sv650, I had the same length SP Engineering on my old Sv and it sounded great but those exhausts are really expensive now so I went with the black Widow for £135! I've ordered some RTV from ebay but it won't be here until Tuesday but I really wanna get it fitted today, I think i'll wait until Tuesday if you think the RTV would be better.
The road test towards the end sounds sweet. How have they lasted?
Kept sounding sweet too, yes they have, they've been on there for about 14,000/15,000 miles now or about 23,000km. Wearing really well in all weathers!! Only one dirty chip from a stone but that's not the cans fault :)
Good job - it did sound way too 'Honda'
Far too much of a "nice neighbour" vibe off it in fairness 😂
Sound and look awsome GB 😁👍🏼
Thanks G :) Absolutely delighted with it 😁😁😁
Cool man 😁 Nice sound 🙂 we have to go on a spin 😁
Yes we do! And soon! :)
I cannot find full carbon 400mm for cbf 1000 (2008 model)
www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/cbf1000-2006-2011-twin-exhaust-silencers-400mm-oval-black-stainless-carbon-tip-26010-p.asp
There you go!
@@TheGorillaBiker thank you 😁 i guess they only do the carbon tip now instead of full carbon, still be awesome to upgrade that sound
Could email to see is the full carbon available? I thought that was it but I didn't read it properly sorry 😂
Yeah absolutely
I'm considering these for my CBF1000, i slightly prefer the look of the 300mm cans (stainless with carbon tips), but do you think they will be significantly louder than the 400mm, i'm aiming for something that sounds fruitier than stock, but not ear bleeding. Also how was the fueling after fitting the new cans, any flat spots? If yours suffered the flat spot between 2500 and 3000rpm with stock cans, did the new ones help with that? Cheers
They shouldnt be crazy louder! They'll be louder but if you look on the website they have noise level graphs from what I remember so you could have a look there :) The 400mm are perfect for me loud wise with no baffles so you could always try baffles in too :)
No nothing noticeable, if anything it improved the power curve a bit. I had a weird hitch at about 5k that seems to be gone. That could be my imagination tho.
@@TheGorillaBiker I got an email from Black Widow today, and they also said they are in the process of producing a mini baffle that fits in the can, but at the link pipe end, which may be useful, due to go to market in 6-8 weeks.
Ah very good! I like black widow, they make very good quality stuff.
Gonna bite the bullet, 300mm it is!
Brilliant! Let me know what you think :)
Sounds fantastic and looks great .
Thanks John :)
Thanks Toaster!
She is pleased :D
sounds beautiful
Really happy with how it turned out :)
Thanks toaster
😁😁
Nice JCB
It's class. 80s Iron 😂😂 Thought you'd be more interested in the Mk1 tbh
There is some serious photoshopping in the thumbnail!
There is literally zero photoshopping in the thumbnail. 😂😂
The GorillaBiker in that case someone is an expert in lighting photo’s you have never looked such a hunk before ;-)
Haha the sun helped massively with this one 😂😂 That and actually not eating shite for over a month has helped 😂
But yes this photo is not representative of how I generally look 😂
@@TheGorillaBiker good man, I have lost 2 stone since last summer doing the same thing and feel so much better for it. Keep on keeping on.
Christ fair play!! :) Yeah I want to lose a lot more so we'll see :)
V4 v4 v4 v4 v4 rules 💪💪💪💪😊
V4 is life.
@@TheGorillaBiker It's life for folks who don't know better. V Twin for that slow life.
😂😂😂😂😂
I love mine with the original exhausts ! Lovely muted sound . Can't grasp why anyone wants a racket while they're riding 😀
That's fair, each to their own!! It actually tormented my soul having those original cans on there though I couldn't hear the engine at all!! Also the 400mm I got is actually very quiet out on the road :)
Nice upgrade. You would think a product produced in the UK would use metric hardware. I'm curious as to if removing the db killers have any effect on the back pressure for the engines performance or does the engines electronic monitoring adjust automatically for the new system? Thanks Toaster.
It is indeed :) Haha it had me stumped for about 10 minutes 😂😂 No not with a modern EFI system the base map will account for it. Now if you free the system up too much by adding a different air filter etc you may find it struggles but not just an exhaust :)
