6th Gen Exhaust on a 5th Gen

[ULEWZ]

You guys do way too much good work. How am I ever going to keep up when I get another VFR? I'm thinking Sargeant seat, Ohlins shock, and Staintune exhaust. The rest is riding history.

Whoo Hooo, I'm on the homepage! It was fun to review this thread and see where I stand on the wish list. I still need to get JetHotted, but I did get a stock windscreen (painted black on the inside), removed the dumbo ears and shimmed the shock. I have no excuse for not JetHotting and getting an A/F meter next.

Since doing this mod I've removed a bit of the steel wool to cure a restriction problem after some of it got loose within the muffler and plugged the outlets. The bike is louder as a result, but I love it and ride with earplugs anyway.

Hey, maybe I'll just build a Tok-Tokkie muffler when I get tired of this one... :idea3:

I can send you the plot file for the components if you decide to proceed.

You're way too perceptive, Phantom! I knew there was something else I needed to do the other day. The feeler that's on there is going into the drawer with a couple others I've got. I lubed the chain right after the pics were taken, but I need a new one badly anyway. It's on the list....  :D

I wouldn't have expected anything less. The bike just looks better and better, lovely work.

Just a little update: I removed the center stand and cleaned all the crud out from behind where the right-side heat-shield was. I can hardly wait to get the exhaust JetHotted, get the turn signal pods removed, and fit a stock windscreen (at least for local riding and track days). I also have an idea involving a small rear fender attached to the body instead of the swingarm, to keep crap off the shock and back of the engine. It'll all happen in time. Here are a few new pics:

Just a question on your install as I am looking to do this on my 4 gen. Have you had any hits to the muffler/tire with 2 up riding (or alone). I also have a CF hugger on mine so Im worried about that and thinking of using a tail riser for more clearance. Also curious if nay related heat problems with the undertray / seat or rear lenes. Thanks Brian

Oops, sorry for the delay. I got no notification of your post. Before I raised my rear suspension a bit I did hit the bottom of the pipe with the top of the rear tire. Since this thread was posted I've re-designed the system with a completely new undertray for more clearance. Now I never hit, even two-up with panniers and top box loaded.

You can see here that I no longer have much room under the seat...
