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...

Well the new owners that bought one probably not.....

They were told to stop riding their bikes...

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.

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.
