Good enough to mount footpegs to test riding position before cutting expensive stuff.

very sensible mr.dave, thumbs up

Why are the glass tail pieces so popular ?

**Henk** · 15th April 2010, 18:26

Because they are reasonably light and crash well.

I like em cause you can lower the seat height and move it forward or back if you want.

Yoshimura Trick Exhaust

OK you yoshimura fans - your mission is to identify the following muffler - not that I need to know really, but I do need to understand the mounting bracket, design.

AS you will see in the photos , the input side has a main input, surrounded by 6 x M6 holes

WTF? - how do you mount this sucker.....there must be some sort of bolt on flange?

Anyone seen this before?

Arghhhhhhhh

ok....basicaly yes its flange welded to the pipe, your probualy going to face difficulty mounting it, as you need to make a flange then get it all to line up. Your better of getting a slip-on exhaust system. Im abit of a yoshimura fan, that exhaust isnt actauly a yoshimura, Tim fraser has the same can {or similar} and its a chinese replica...fooled me the first time too.

Getting a flange welded up is easy, the centers are evenly spaced, so just a case of ensuring I use a decent gasket....lining up is no different that a slip on Max, as once the flange is on the muffler , I'm gonna slip it on!

"fooled me the first time too" - could not resist - Max, that would not be too hard

oh yup sounds good, you'll need a gasket too, my hyosungs screaming deamon exhaust is like that, cames with various gaskets.

There is a whole bunch of different ways you could mount that sucker, most involve a tig and or a lathe though..

P.s I'm making a chromoly seat sub frame for the stock seat. It's too damned comfy to not use..

Yeah when you read TSR on the side you think wow that will be expensive, but then you look at the mounting side & think - That weren't made in Japan, some one's taking the mick.

They used to run a 250 in GPs in late 90s that did well.
