Yes, still running the MHR. As-far-as rpm, I don't know since I never put a rpm meter on the bike.

My friend Tony was gracious enough to take this video when he came to visit Austin TX in April of 2010 for our Down 'n' Dirty ride:

It's extremely torquey, and is a good all around pipe. However, the Burial pipe buries it so to speak in the mid-range.

Sure, but it's got a 3mm hole drilled near the exhaust flange for an EGT probe. Otherwise, it's in nearly the exact same shape as when I received it from VTcycles. $71 shipped.

I have a stash of 4 sets of side panels with those very same stickers. I'm thinking of putting some 'ZX' stickers on if I can still get them from Honda.

The first Dio has an Arrow pipe with silencer on it. The pic I just posted is the spare pipe, and the silencer and various pieces are sitting sealed in plastic.

I have a couple more Arrows coming in hopefully this week as-soon-as they get released from customs.
