The Phantom Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Nice work on the BMW! I like the 'retro-tech' look. Yes I have gotten lucky with my exhaust system aquisitions over the years, but the project itself has been a case of more talk than action for a long time. It will get there, eventually...

Member Contributer 007 Posted September 29, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 29, 2014 Awesome start to a great project! It is pretty much true that BMWs will try to kill you. Mine tried to kill me on several occasions on a part that should have been recalled but wasn't (IAC valve) that resulted in very snatchy throttle that is perilous on NC backroads. Then a recall was made on a faulty quick disconnect that leaked fuel and could have set me on fire. The recall was made shortly after I had my experience, unfortunately. But for some reason I can't stop riding it. I will say that I have had about 30,000 miles of riding the BMW before I was stuck on the roadside (tire hazard aside). My Ninja 250 went about 3,000 miles before one of the fuel hoses kinked and needed to be replaced. My 4th gen VFR - 2,000 miles before catastrophic R/R failure and dead battery combo. Shortly thereafter it needed a starter. I will say I became well versed at bump starting my bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Griff Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hey Capitan, Nice work ! For what it's worth, I like the low level exhaust you have there - I've never liked the look of the very high pipes on a VFR750. Yours is not too low anyway, its kinda like an RC30 racing design. (Which is obviously the dogs nuts). Keep it going dude. Griff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duccmann Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 DUDE, you've got some mad skills (great). Cant wait for the finished bike...also like the left exhaust..what can are you going to use? May have skipped the info earlier. Keep up the great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanBooster Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks. The exhaust is a Sandy Spare Parts. For the muffler i have not decide yet.
