Installed Silence....ahhhh

[TCSKIBIKE]

So I bought a used "tuned" pipe from Bernie, a nice guy from British Columbia. I got it for 450 which I believe was a good deal, only to see another new one for sale here for 400, what a deal! So much the seller is back pedaling on the price. Cant say I blame hime since a new one is 700+ direct from AD.
So I broke down my machine to find that the whole front end was tweak towards the primary clutch side. so much that it was visible when you try to line up the round support truss bar and the engine mount plate. Wow! Now I see it being the cause of a tough fitting cowl and some abrasions on the body where the cowl meets it back behind the brake. I did my best to straighten it still to find the pipe wants really fitting perfectly. One of the mounts on the pipe was welded back on and may have been out of place.
I attached some pics to show some modes I did to make it work. I also bought Skiddo oem parts for the exhaust gaskets that were a smidge to small and I had to stretch them out a bit to get over the fittings. Check out the pics.

Next will be to lower it and tune the fork..

Prepare for a super load machine, like nothing I have ever ridden. I started using earplugs because of the noise of the Jaws pipe it became not so fun after awhile. Wish I would have waited to buy yours.

When you say a tuned pipe you are refering to the stock one that ame with the 06 and newer
So far the Jaws pipe on my fan doesn't bother me,is the liquid worse

Jaws is well known for there aftermarket pipes. Is there any horsepower loss

I was thinking about building a silencer that would be light weight and much quieter than the jaws. any interest it i get to work?

 

[RudeAwakening]
