Are you still looking?? i could possibly be keen.... dont hold me to it though

[Tyler_94]

Im not too worried about back pressure, just depends on how COOL it sounds.

The cool radar is always going, I have to say the neddle goes very quicky clockwise when it triggered on my honda.....

More than i can say for most of your bikes

[Tyler_94]

The most important change was the tryes.

Damien was right about the tryes too.

second hand slicks, $100 off Moto Academy.

They really make a difference. That is ofcourse if you dont already have em...

Oh and ah, Thank Max...

[gatch]

hae!, it still provied some back-pressure.......but ive got a complety new exhaust ive made, which involves a modded fxr150 header {2 icnhes thicker than standard one} and a new muffler soo yea.

Please forgive my ignorance padawan..

Your header pipe is 2 icnhes thicker ?

Is it made from 80mm cored solid or some nice 3 icnh pipe ?

Some people are a few inches thicker than standard.

Seat arrived - fitting is a little fun - nice fit straight out of the box though....

Will have to make little hoop mounts to keep it off the battery (orig location) and make the rear height adjustable

[Henk]

Mock up the location with bits of wood etc and try the position before you start drilling holes. You may want to move it backwards or forwards as well as up and down before you start drilling holes.

I have made some 19mm tubular hoops that run from left to right, 1 @ 50mm back from the tank mount, and the other is 10 mm in front of the old rear seat lock. The is keeps the seat off of the battery too.

Each mount has two 8 x 1.5mm threaded lugs welded into the tube with the idea being that spacers (rubber) can create height options

THe seat is pretty strong, so should not flex too much on the mounts

Slowly getting there....pipe arrives tomorrow....pod filter arrived today.....

He said "Mock up" not "use" Wood is a wonder material, you can drill it screw it glue it &saw it quickly. Most of my rearsets etc go through a pre-production phase of ply (after a design stage of card or plastic) before morphing into ally. Good enough to mount footpegs to test riding position before cutting expensive stuff.
