Any pictures ? This is my seat now, got rid of the removable collar, really want to get rid of that lump and have a normal bike seat, difficult to do as it would mean cutting away most of the seat but I might try it eventually!

dogpoo Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Love this bike so much, plenty of power for me as I very rarely go above 100kph now had the seat re-done twice and it is nearly perfect, taking it back on Sunday to have a few tweaks done, hopefully it will be perfect! My bike, to me looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only trouble with an aftermarket exhaust is the noise level, I hate anything noisy, the seat is so much better than standard, just need to get the slant of the backrest vertical, the back seat is good, the only person that sits there is my 11 yr old step daughter and she likes it, I will post pictures of the seat MK 3 when it has been done on Sunday! Went to the Honda dealer this morning and sat on the Forza they have there, the seat is awful, so hard, mine at present is soooo much better and hopefully perfect after Sunday!

Lg I am sure there is no such a thing like performance loss with an original leo vince corsa is original - of course made in Indonesia - is there any dyno you can back up your claim? Leo Vince is used on racing bikes now and if it loses performance sure they do not race with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingpool Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 a racing exhaust is entirely open.like a stovepipe.This can not compare.In Bangkok and Pattaya you will stoped by the policeit costs 1000 baht.The Open Racing Exhaust LeoVince Corsa .is very small .. and brings only more efficientNew at CDI setting .. Manifold and others.and eg Mallsosi coupling Clutch etc. but you can save 6000 baht then youGoes well with which a stovepipe.In a racing scooter we all tuned to each other.what a racing exhaust a private sports scooterCorrectly LeoVince Corsa is built in Indoesien.The LeoVince be built under license in Indonesia.My Opinion The Good LeoVince come from ITALYLeoVince - Frazione S. Antonio 1 / A - 12066 Monticello d'Alba (CN) Italy -tel +39 (0) 173 465 111 - fax +39 (0) 173,465,219thWho is the private Scooter road does not need a racing exhaustNeeds of a sports exhaust.A sports exhaust made in Europe in ITALYhas the most experience in the thingsSports exhaust with more Power. A LeoVins SBK Has 2 DB KillerDepending front and rear.In orgianal condition he brings 2-4% more power0,5 - 1 hp more on a Forza remove oly the db killer from back.so you can still get no trouble.But the performance increases to 4% -6 This is it .. but the exhaust has to be Adapted for the engine.

idman Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I certainly appreciate all the info. regarding the after market accessories that are available for the Forza. The model has been out now a little over seven months and there was a major recall concerning the rear wheel assembly. Honda to their credit addressed that issue. I just want some updates from some of the lads who have put over 7k on their Forza. What are your thoughts about the bikes performance, it's breaking, it's handling in all types of conditions? Would you purchase a Forza again? I rented one in Chiang Mai last month for 4 days and had a blast, took it up and down the mountains, around Chiang Mai in the rain and late afternoon traffic. But that was not enough time spent on the bike to make a decision at this time for a purchase without the benefit of input from those who have spent quite a bit of time on their Forza. I will not be adding any aftermarket items, the bike as stock, for me was more than adaquate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I took it to the place which is close to the big Buddha turn off, it's opposite a new family mart, I am 6' 3" and the standard seat was horrible, it took 3 go's to get it right but it is very comfortable now! I can also sit a little bit further back, you are welcome to come to my house and try my seat and see if it's what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just returned from a 3 day, 850km round trip tour from Maha Sarakarm to Thap Boek & Khao Kho (hills of Phetchabun) Two up with all our belongings stored under the seat and a small backpack. The bike ran like a dream, cruising at 90km/h on the plains and taking the mountain contours with ease. Bearing in mind I am 194cm tall and 116kgs, my other half is 50kgs Overall I was very impressed with the experience. Having said that and knowing the OEM seat configuration is not particularly built for tall guys, we took 10 minute breaks every 100km. That worked really well and made the journey enjoyable and kept things comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogpoo Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 My lovely Forza might be for sale in the near future as I have decided to get a dedicated tourer, seen the new Suzuki V Strom 650 which would be perfect for my fishing trips to Cha am!
