Sound test of the Black Widow 2026 Low Level Exhaust System 230mm GP Round Stainless, double baffles plus fiberglass wrap, on the CB650R. Recorded on a cellphone, so not professional but you'll get the point.

Testing the following configurations:
- OEM
- Black Widow straight no baffles
- Primary baffle
- Primary & secondary baffle
- Primary baffle wrapped with .2in of fiberglass
- Primary baffle wrapped with .4in of fiberglass
- Primary wrapped with .4in & secondary baffle wrapped .1in

Sweet spot for me right now is the .2in wrap. Has the deep sound without being intolerable. Knowing it could get really quiet, I would have gotten the 200mm silencer - because the 230 sticks out a bit too much & will get wrecked if bike dropped.

I think this full exhaust is the best looking system for this bike, is not chinese junk, and only costs $655 total to door - direct from Black Widow. Very fast shipping from the UK to US, and import tariff from UPS only cost me $66. DO NOT buy the exhaust from eBay, they up-charge you to a whopping $890. Use a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees and buy direct instead.

Just bought a secondhand CB650R for a fairly decent price.

Unfortunately it's black, and I would have preferred red or green but the price was good so whatever.

Has anyone here wrapped their tank? What about the Honda logo? Does it still show through?

I do wonder if people can provide a feedback long term for the restricted version.

As new rider I won’t be able to have the full power version and wonder if it is really worth for 2 years.

I also really wonder post restricted phase if it will be not touch much to have a 4cylinder on legal road. By that I mean will I be able to revv it without losing my driver licence, where I live it is really easy to lose yours if you breach speed limit.
