Sounds like a cheap wimpy phone!

center stand?
center stand?
Since we used the inside of the center-stand tabs, I'll say no, but if I can get a bike in again soon, we can test to see if we can move the brackets to the outside of the mounting tabs. Can you post some pics of underneath to show how much the center-stand hugs the frame? Both in the up and down position would be best.Compatible with a Herpco
Hey Todd! Here's what I'm working with. Looks like the herpco stand takes the place of the rear frame brace, the mounting tabs described are free.
Let me know if those views work, or if you would like photos in/at a different angle.
They work. That forward tab we use is still available on your frame. Circled below.

In an effort to make my V7 more personalized to my taste and to distinguish myself from other V7's I ride with (I have a Centenario and two other people I ride with also have it. All have the same Agostini pipes lol), I'm heavily considering these drag style pipes and selling the Ago's. How do these compare to the Agostini's with the db killers out (sound wise?)
The V7-850 has two restrictive and sound robbing catalytic converters per another thread here on this Forum. One in the headers, and one in the mufflers. So you've only eliminated one with the Agos. Our full exhaust is without cats, however they are still mufflers. It seems they are loud or offensive to anyone who finds the Agos loud. We have videos on the sound above. Hope that helps.
Thanks Todd. I believe I've read through the comments on that particular forum. I think it's the V7 performance mods thread. Being relatively new to tinkering with my bike most of the things I'm learning are from this forum so my understanding of some of the stuff still goes over my head but I'm definitely taking concepts in as I go.
I was originally a bit concerned with the Ago's and no db killers but now I think they sound fine and could even go a bit louder. I'll send you an email when I make a decision on it. Thanks again!
I was never able to replicate the audio as well as the start up video that I posted so I ended up not messing with it anymore.
They sound great, but when people say they are loud… they mean it. Even inside my shoei rf1200 I like to put my ear foamies in.
Would you say it’s uncomfortably loud? When I took the db killers out of my Ago’s I was a bit self conscious about the sound (also vividly remember a little girl across the street covering her ears when i started up the bike hahaha) but I got used to it shortly after and think it sounds great as is. The look of the drag pipes is definitely calling to me though.
For anyone that’s installed these on the V7 850, reading through the thread I’m seeing things about plugging the holes on the headers for the o2 sensors, can I still run it with the o2 sensors in? Just asking since so I’m looking at installing mine this weekend and wanna have everything I need beforehand or if I have to go out and get something to plug it with.

E5 V9 owner here, so not exactly apples to apples. That said, I'm currently running open exhaust with O2 sensors IN using an UpMap tune that disables the sensors. Regardless of state of tune, I can think of very few (if any) situations that would REQUIRE you to remove the O2 sensors. Shouldn't have any deleterious effects.
Exactly the answer I was looking for. I’m running UpMap with the sensors disabled as well on the V7 so I imagine it will be the exact same. Thanks for the reply!

No sweat! Enjoy!!! Those pipes sound sick...
So I just installed these on my V7 850 but have run into a problem. Are there adapters that are supposed to fit the o2 sensors? Currently they don’t fit and one sides o2 sensor doesn’t seem to reach lol
I got tempted and started it up and ouch these are loud lol I’m hoping it’s extra loud because of the place where o2 sensors go is open and that the sound will come down when that’s fixed. I’m coming for a set of Ago’s so it’ll be interesting to compare.
They look great on the Centenario though.

There should’ve been adapters in the box to take them from M18 down to the stock M12 sensors. Write us direct if you can’t find them.
You need to unclip the sensor wires from the holding clips under the tank. Next one we have in the shop I’ll do a how to.
I don’t talk about sound any more. Compared to stock everything is louder. They sound awesomely perfect to everyone that’s heard it.
DO NOT RUN the bike without the sensors in place.

Silly question; but would the bike be at risk for damage running for a short time without the O2 sensors in, or would it just run poorly? Can an exhaust valve warp that quickly???
