installed F1s...

[tigerstyle102]

The pipe sounds pretty good. I actually wish it was louder still. Anyway, when I cut off the stock can I cut off the little thing that stops the centerstand. Now my centerstand folds up and hits my chain. Anybody else run in to this problem? Any ideas what to do?

put the centerstand stop back on the exhaust! Werent there instructions?

[tigerstyle102]

I can't just put it back on. It is welded to the pipe, I cut the pipe off. Yes there were instructions, I followed them.

[JasonB]

I didnt think you had to cut that far back, if so they should have done something to replace the stock stop. Never put them on but never saw a post with the problem your having either.

Here is a post about it.

I have an F1s and mine does that as well

[shaky]

On the F1r there is a spot where you can place the bumper from the stock exhaust on the new pipe. Kind of a little v-shaped piece welded on. I decided to take my centerstand off and keep it in the garage for when I might need it.

If the s doesnt have it but the r does thats kinda backasswards! And to not have it anyway defeats the name of slip-on!

Or save some weight and remove that pesky centerstand, all it does is scrape when your lean the bike over!

[tigerstyle102]

Alright, well I guess I'm going to remove the centerstand. Is it difficult to put back on for when I lube the chain or whatever?

You must be overlooking it.  The F1s has a piece of metal bracket with a hole in it on the bottom part of the pipe.  You pull the bumper off the same thing on your stock pipe and pop it in the hole on the new pipe (easier said than done).  But it does have one.  I know from experience.

Or you could try and get a gas tank pad or something along those lines, and zip tie it to the pipe.  A la what the dealer did when my vance&hines was installed.

My F1S came with a stop built on it.

I put the rubber stopper from the old bits on my F1S, you might need to look at the whole assemblage and see if you need to loosen the bands and turn the parts of the cobra until they line up, then tighten the bands back up.

[pizzleboy]

that's righrt, ladybird.  I re-used my rubber stopper as well.

There is a hole on the F1 for that stopper.

[tigerstyle102]

hmmmmmm.... I'll have to take another look. Maybe I just missed it.

[tigerstyle102]

Well I checked it out, and you are right. There is the hole for the rubber stopper. Problem is I think I threw it away. I'll have to try and figure something out.
