They got only 9 ... can be slip fitted to the GS with a flange and mid pipe I make. Total cost ... $40 and shipping for flange and mid, $50 and shipping for muffler. Under $110. And excellent quality can to boot. Thick and 100% stainless.

sooo...are you sending those flanges out? :thumb:

The Buddha

I am yet to start making flanges. I want to be done with those. Running around for the round things and SS pipe and muffler chop etc is pretty frustrating when you dont have a count. My goal is to know how many flanges need making and make exactly that and be done.
And about them getting more ... yes I thought so since august. Yet to see any. I bought them from a different place BTW and they only had the 9 of whihc they had one in a ebay auction and I bought the rest. They never got any more. This stuff is obsolete.
Cool.

Just bought one. Now all I need is a flange, so srinath how much and how long to get on of your special flanges?

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see, but only you can feel the warmth.

The Buddha

I'll start on it next week, send a check and I'll have one for you for sure. I only want to make asmany as people need ... I dont plan on having a bunch lying about after ... cos once they sell out on these ... the flanges are useless ... so I dont want to have money tied up in it.
Cool.

Cool, how much is it and where do you want me to send the check? Also I don't plan on rejetting right now so could you throw in one of those restrictors that can be taken out when I rejet?

The Buddha

Oh crap ... is this good or bad ... I dont know ...
from 9 they went to down to 6 and now there is like 14 ... OK if I get a job I am snagging one of thse for myself ... OK that's good, but that also means I'll be making flanges for ever ... good lord that is bad ...
Cool.

Yikes there's 20 now ... damn I am never going to stop making these flanges am I ... anyway I'll start on it next week, if I run out of round things I'll go try to buy some more ... I might have to go to steel pipe in future.
Cool.

Damn could of waited 1 more day and got a brand new one without any scratches :x  Just my luck, oh well at least I went ahead and bought one.

The Buddha

Slow down the beating up of yourself ... the new ones are also scratched up ... doubt they had any at any time that weren't ... I doubt wileyco even makes un scratched ones  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  ...
The new ones must have been ones that people bought and flaked out on paying ... so nothing "new" about them ...
Cool.

I just ordered one.  They are down to eight now.  I definitely want a flange.  Now,  the question is...   with, or without restricter plate?  

I am thinking of rejetting (Dynojet) and K&N filter.  I think i read something negative about the Dynojet on the GS...

Anyone done this?  What is your experience?  

I think i may be able to get away with just adding a washer?

Also...  how loud is this can?   I just read something that makes me fearfull that i may not be able to get out of my driveway quitely early in the morning...  Is it Sick loud????



Thanks,  Jess

Wow man what did you do to that poor dennis Kirk man ... they have 20 now ... dude ... you broke ebay man ...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Oh I replied to your PM ... but that ckoker plate is going to be louder than the plain flange and muffler ... yea I know how is it possible ... but it is ... cos its not a baffle ... its a freaking square metal plate in it ... so loud. They muffler itself is not that loud. I've seen far worse.
Cool.

Is your flange bolt on?  Or will I need to have it welded?

I can't tell from this previous thread.

The Buddha

Its slip on and clamp to foot peg. No welding needed to install.
Cool.
