TallCarver Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all! I'm facing a couple of issues with the two brothers racing exhaust that came on my bike. Its mounting position had allowed the rear axle to rub a hole into the side of the exhaust canister. It has been thickly patched- a piece of aluminum welded over it. We've done a bit to the ride height and the suspension but it still appears to be rubbing. I plan to get a pipe made that will mount it higher up in the rear but don't want to get rid of my rear pegs. Anyone done this to a third gen and have some insight? What did you do to mount it?

Member Contributer mk2davis Posted May 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2013 Take some pics. Maybe if we see whats going we can offer some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRad704 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yes, pics please... Partly to help you figure this out, and partly so I can see details of the pipe routing for a 3rd Gen left-exit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2013 My hi-mount BOS exhaust came -well I guess the dealer sourced it from somewhere- with a peg holder that went round the muffler. Maybe yo can make/buy something similar for you left exhaust? If you want I can dive into the shed and dig it up for a picture..... (been w/o passenger pegs for more than a decade...)

TallCarver Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Dutchy, that sounds interesting. My bike is in the shop since Tuesday directly following TMac. Dyno Jets getting done. After that I'll be full throttle on getting my exhaust situation fixed. I'll post exhaust photos in a few days (next week?) when the jet kits get into the shop and I get to take her home.

Beck Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) The fit for left exit exhaust had always been tight on the VFRs, especially right where it crosses under the swingarm, including the RC30s where they actually had to put a pinch on the pipe to get it to clear the bottom of the swingarm. What I think could be made better on the 2 Br. System is to get the can to angle and/or hang higher, as it looks a bit too low in a "not so sporty" way..... If one can hang the can to about as high as a typical high right exhaust system, it will look so much better, IMO....

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted May 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2013 That is what we are running into. The can is pulled as high up against the passenger peg as possible and still contacts the axle on compression. We have counter sunk the rear brake bolt and rotated the eccentric to 12 o'clock. Also installed a Fox twin clicker and adjusted it to raise the rear. When reassemebled and tested, the chain was dragging on the mid-pipe. Had to lower to rear ride height (on the threaded shock adjuster) so that it does not rub. I think we need to have a new mid pipe made (probably with a "pinch" or "dent" for chain clearance) and remove the rear pegs. I would be happy to change my tune if we can see what Dutchy has pics of, I think refitting the peg to allow a higher pipe would solve all of the problems.

timmythecop Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Keith, when you are here at my junkyard, I have a wide selection of mid pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallCarver Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Sounds interesting Timmy Decoppe. It would be tough to tell whether they would contact chain or not. I could send my mid pipe up with pops for a comparison. Edited May 30, 2013 by TallCarver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2013 This for a right side, hi mount Bos. For my Akra i must add a few o rings to make it stand out a bit wider. If you need exact measurents or angles let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted May 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks bunches Dutchy! We may be able to do something like that...with a little help from Seb or someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
