Homemade custom muffler build (with pictures) - Second Attempt

[theGrinch]

Kinda reminds me of the exhausts on 70's era bikes...I'm partial to the chopped off look.

Are you going to have a connecting piece between the two pipes?

Nope, propper 2-in-2. Should work out better than 2-1-2 according to the theory, but we shall see once I had the bike on the dyno and rejetted.

Put 120 main jets in, 2.5 turns on the screw. Pics if the weather calms down so that my camera won't drown when I take it out of the house...

Sorry for the quality, it's a bit too dark already and with flash the images looked even worse. Oh and she's still running too lean.

NICE job on the pipe! What rear tailpiece is that? R1?

[theGrinch]

R1 but cut 30mm out in the middle. For more pics see my sig.

Sorry for OT.

How is your homemade pipe project coming along?  Is it still running lean with no punch after 7,000 rpm?  Do I have that right?

[theGrinch]

If you mean me (not my thread but I'Ve got the 7000rpm problem):
Had a dyno run, even with 112.5er main jets too rich! Coincides with my engines burning ridiculous amounts of oil. Spare engine has been sitting in me shed for 2 months now but too busy at uni to swap it 

Getting shaky as haven'T been on the bike for a good 3 months... But got my exs original 1989 GS back now, as soon as insurance is sorted I'll give it a good kick!

I'm back in Germany, so this project is stopped until further notice due to the noise restrictions here.
