SEBSPEED Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Parts for my VFR700 & VF750F exhausts! :huh: These beauties + 5' of 2" perforated tube! :cool: Working on the endcap design right now. It's going to be a little tougher with the oval cans, but with the deal I got, I'll manage. I paid $34 for the sleeves and $16 for shipping... :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted February 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted February 17, 2009 Where did you score those carbon fiber tubes? Are they oval? Carbon fiber is kind of a limited quantity these days so I'm surprised that you got such a good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, they're oval. I got them on ebay. Starting bid was $25. The same seller has a single tube listed at $15 to start now... "bn1022" is his ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted July 28, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted July 28, 2009 That was a sweet deal, I was quoted $75/ea. for cf sleeves by 2 companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 That was a sweet deal, I was quoted $75/ea. for cf sleeves by 2 companies. Mike, you need a couple? I don't need all 4. As far as updates, they will show up in my restoration thread when I get to the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't want to just leave it laying around collecting dust would you? You'd want to maybe sell it to someone that, well just happens to have an 86 with an old banged up yoshi that could take it to a local muffler guy and make up a 4-1 system for it...wouldn't you?

There's a distinct possibility, but the ovals will be a PITA. Round endcaps would be much easier to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A round can would be just as welcome as an oval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
