Title: Exhaust companys, what are you doing?!
Post by: stefman722 on January 17, 2005, 12:28:28 PM
hey,

I am getting extremely frustrated. Its almost official that noone makes an exhaust system for our bikes. I have a F model and have been looking  since day one. I dont think any of the companies realize how many people actually own gs500 models, espeacially with the new release of the F model, that they could sell quite a lot of them. Does anyone else agree with me? or am i just crazy for being this upset over having absolutely no aftermarket exhaust out there.

Just venting out.

Stefan.

Oh well buy a Wileyco can and a flange and mind pipe ... looks like it rolled off a factory ... laser cut flange and stainless pipe ...
Cool.

Once fairings come into play aftermarket exhausts get a lot trickier to add.  Eventually somebody wil make a full system that works with the F model. .......... I hope.

I do have an F spec flange and mid pipe. The one Tdan has made is similar to mine ... except I replace the whole mid pipe, and have a round flange with an offset hole with the exhaust pipe going in at an up and in angle. The can exits high and close ... any higher it will torch your turn signals off ...
Cool.

Does the "4/1" column on that page refer to a 4-into-1 arrangement?  Hmmmm.

Maybe it just means "all-into-1" depending on the number of cylinders?

the f and the e are the same.  Its the fairing that changes the name.
