got her on last night. dgyver did an awesome job with this piece. I'm probably going to paint it to match the bike, but I had to get it on there to see what it looks like. I love it. If you haven't already, I suggest you order one. They are easy to install and suprisingly not too uncomfortable.

i can't believe you would even consider painting that.....unless ya incorperate the CF into the design...CF number plates would look sweet
looks really good
it's just that there are a couple of imperfections. i haven't quite decided yet. maybe you guys will talk me out of it. :lol:
and before anyone chimes in, yes i'm gonna chop off the fender. i just have to go thru inspection first or maybe i'll just do it this weekend and zip tie the polate back where it goes right before they look at it.
that looks great :o ...dont paint it just smoothen out the imperfection :thumb:
just noticed the wileyco angle doesnt flow with the fairing...wouldve been cool if it did and a cf wileyco...anyways, like isaid b4 it looks sick :cheers:
question: so the stock tail lights can fit w/o no problem?
it follows just about the same angle as the stock tail. i don't have stock lights, but i don't think they would be a problem. the r1's i used are basically a direct bolt on. it looks like just 2 circles, but there is more behind them. besides, the tail was made for the gs so i don't see why they wouldn't fit.
i also see your bike is still bleeding from the midpipe...put some pressure on it...geez EMT school.. :lol:
:lol: i like blood, it makes it look mean
besides if a little blood isn't spilled then you didn't do the job right
:lol:
That looks so good. The only reason I haven't placed my order yet is I want to make sure I can get my f*cking oil presure up on my rebuilt engine before I drop any more coin in it. Maybe next week.
If I get one, I'm going to figure out how to make a little seat pan and cover it. Sort of the Mouse Pad type thing.
Dgyver said that they sell really thin seat pads at Lockhart Phillips (I think) you could use for a seat. I've heard they are comfortable, but 4 -5 hour ride, maybe want something there.
Y'all dont like the wileyco's going up that high ... BTW following the tail section line on the under side is going to leave the pipe low ... far too low ...
The can going high looked better I thought ...
I can make it a bit lower, but parallel to the fairing ... no ... far too low, and the 01-05 tail follows an entirely different pattern ... :x
Cool.
Srinath.
The can looks hot. The angle is perfect.
I think his bike might be ready for the pages of 2Wheel Tuner or Super Streetbike!
(CF chin fairing. . . )
The bike looks amazing and you did an awesome job re-doing it yourself! Just can't wait to see pics. of you on it! ;)
i'll be taking more pics probably tomorrow when my hugger comes in. i'll make sure to include some with me on it this time although that might ruin the pic completely. btw srinath i like how the can looks. i love the look of a bike when the can comes up nice and high that way you can hear her purr better. :thumb:
Looking awsome!!!
I think im gonna have to pick one up when I get the $$$$
so did you modify the midpipe to angle it like that? or did it came from srinath that way?
coz i like it to be like this...

compare

no i didn't modify it. that's how it came straight out of the box.
so srinath made changes... :oops:
i think so cause i think i remember him saying he was making them so they came up higher, but you will have to check with him to be sure. maybe he can make you one that comes out lower.
Each item was different, and batch to batch they were quite a bit different ... I can carry a pic of 70_cam's pipe and make it closer to that this time ... But no guarantee ... the mid pipes were all bent with quite a bit of tolerance ... the round parts also had in consistencies (this time not ... they're getting laser cut just for us ... :lol: ) ... Put them together and they wana fit one way ... and that's it ... The overall idea is to get them away from the brake banjo and the other hardware ... so in effect Stevemac's is better than 70_cam's ... remember its gotta exit close to the bike in the back ... and start out clear of the swingarm in the front ... its easier to get that fit with the pipe going clear above the rear brake mechanism ... I can try to get it closer to 70_cam's ... But I cant do one one way and another different ... Lemme see ... there will probably be a location that will satisfy the higher and the lower options ...
Cool.
Srinath.
