Think I will be doing something similar afterm my debacle last night lol

It looks like you have some kind of hinge on that bracket. With regards to the angle, well I can't help. Personal preference ! but you betta decide before Friday.

Should be fun ride there with no cans on shame it's only 2 miles from my house .

lloydie could you ask them if they can do titanium high level link pipes mate, a slightly bigger bore than normal, if so how much, i might even consider a link pipe to get the same angle as your old ones and carls new ones, its all about the angle of the dangle.....

And the length.

Not sure if http://www.jacexhausts.co.uk still have a pattern pipe but I used to run one years ago and sold a fair few to others.

The plus points were weight saving, nice looks and a big improvement on bottom end power.
The negative points were a lack of top end power and slightly harder to set up on the dyno.

I tries numerous options including standard bore and large bore, the large was lots better but it was bloody loud!

I will ask

Got the angle now . I made a temporary
Hanging bracket .
I will have a good one made the same time the headers get blasted .

Looking good there. You have enough room there for rear indi's and I like the angle with the tail piece pointing horizontally. I noticed I get a few drops of rain in mine! Your making me feel like I only done half a job. I should have had the headers off Doh.

Have Fun.

bsm they dont do titanium i did ask

Done £40

Had a quick test and it feels the same as before up top but stronger lower down . I hope to get it on the dyno soon

bsm they dont do titanium

Now there's a surprise.

Looking good Lloydi.

This won't be a fast project it will be a bsm time project

what you talking about, that's loads quicker than the big man.
£40 quid for the pipe was good, I spent more than that on mine with all the wombles around. So are the hanger staying now or are you going to change them?

Pics look good mate, now all we need is a sound clip.

(:-})

I'm making the hanger template the weekend and will have it back the same time I get the headers back from the blasters .
Sound clip tomorrow .

I couldn't take as long as bsm else we be back in a ice age lol

so forgive my ignorance can you go to one original can doing this ? and does it affect the bike at all?

looks nice, the exit angle is just right, and the mid pipe looks good for £40.........you want the braced swing arm back now?!

You still doing Wales trip? we could try some back to back comparisons to see the difference between your and mine
