Got the WileyCo pipe installed on the GS

[The Buddha]

It has white powder in it...
Cool.

Ever figure out what made some of the wileyco cans much heavier (like mine?)

[Dom]

Probably not...but I have a hunch...was yours SS, CF, or Ti?  The SS would probably be the heaviest, just because it is heavier than either CF or TI...but probably for some reason they used a thicker aluminum pipe on the inside.  Maybe so they could charge more for the others, claiming that they were lighter...

mine was carbon fiber.  And the weave on the outside looked different... of better quality (tighter, finer weave) that looked a lot better imo

[Dom]

Yeah, my CF was just a skin on top of an aluminum tube, which I think was 1/8" wall thickness...they might have used thicker aluminum pipe on the inside of yours...you could always drill out the pop rivets if your curiousity keeps eating at you.

just got done with installing mine..

I cut the pipe 2.5inches... Could have cut it a *bit* more but eh.. it's fine how it is


My muffler clamp was too small to fit an inner tube or anything in to keep from scratching the muffler... so it's gonna have to stay how it is.  theres a couple pieces of cloth in there that should keep most scratches off of it


The hardest part was finding a piece of rubber to keep the centerstand from rubbing.  What's on there now is a bit too thin but it, as well, will work.


Sounds great!!  a little harley-burble-ish but it sounds good.

[The Buddha]

You took this long ... oh well I thought you had it fitted on sooner...
Now yours was one that I managed to fit on my bike ... that inner tube will let the clamp fit on either side of the footpeg carrier if I remember ... and that clamp is one lousy POS ... who the hell sells their products wihtout a well fitting clamp and a gasket to go on it ... lousy jokers... anyway You might be able to cram in that inner tube and have the ears of the clamp on front and back of the carrier.
Cool.

hmm.. I might try that tommorow.

Right now there are a couple of 'shims' made from like an old sock or something.  Also, mine HAD to clamp to the outside.  It would hit the brake banjo otherwise...

I think mine was clear above the banjo ... never had that problem ... am I missing somehting ... BTW the clamp does need to be used to hold it where its supposed to ... that can can move quite a bit if not clamped down tight ... that slip on pipe feels tight only to your hand ... put that can and 3 feet of leverage and that big ass can ... and it will go whereever it pleases ...
Cool.

Hey srinath, nice rail.  1600dp?

[The Buddha]

Well that was just some shaZam! my welder had to work on ... the entire frame rails behind the tranny were shot to hell ... someone had a torquey motor and no bracing ... The whole car was nice, but that back end was a royal mess. That damn thing is street legit ...  :lol: ... if it ever got the motor put back in ... will be fun... There is a blue one for sale too which looks even better ...
Cool.
Srinath.

[se7enty7]

is it normal for the new exhaust to smoke a bit after turning the bike off (the first time it's warmed up?) or I wonder if it's all the wd-40 I used..

[The Buddha]

Well wd40, paint and all the hand grease and stuff will burn up ... paint stinks up the place ... great in summer, kills all the mosquitoes ...
Cool.
Srinath.

[se7enty7]

also I haven't jetted mine yet.. although it might already be jetted... it warms up really fast  it seems to run ok even with the new exhaust... maybe a little stuttering when you really get on it at lower rpms

[Dom]

Excess soot or smoke can be caused by too much oil, easy fix...otherwise you are looking at a worn piston, cylinder, valve guide, or valve stem, a defective stem seal, or worn oil ring side rail.   :dunno:

[The Buddha]

OK Like this ... pics in the first post...
Cool.
Srinath.

[finch63]

how many of the 04's do you have

[The Buddha]

Conservatively I can make 6 more ... I bought more SS tubing ... so none of that steel mid pipe nonsense ... Of course the flange is steel ...
Cool.
Srinath.
