Title: Wileyco Exhausts on e-bay
Post by: erijin on June 04, 2005, 07:54:14 AM
I was wondering if anyone had bought a carbon fiber wileyco on e-bay instead of the regular silver can that goes for $50. Is there any real difference or improvement to make the carbon fiber worth the extra $50?
Also, Srinath if you see this I was wondering if you had any flanges ready or if you have a waiting list setup.

I just rev my chrome wiley can off of ebay and i must say i was suprised with the quality of it, espcially for 50 bux it's a nice looking can, can't beat it for the price imo.  :cheers:

I got it and it works mint! Looks great and its a different CF look than the main stream one too. Nothing sounds better than CF when you have a twin.  ;)

Yea I got mine from Vfrocket - yea $10 off ... whooo hooo ... and the thing was new ... I never bought these from Dennis crook ... I bought like 7 last year from Anysunday racing or some like that ... they were mint too ... but yea these are much better than the write up has to thinking they are ... and the very fact its on ebay makes people go ... OK if its "mint" That's like code for hit by a truck ...  :x ...
No wait ing for flanges ... 15 are going to people tomnmorow via UPS, Yea would send more ... but no boxes ... Staples promised me 2 stacks ... 20 boxes by monday ... so i send out 20 more tuesday ... heck the 15 took me over 4 hours yesterday ... OK I was doing carbs too ... I will also make a USPS run monday to send Canada and the carbs that came to me with a fistful of stamps in the box ... Better get these out so I can get on the next production ... bars ... followed by case guards ... cant wait ...
Cool.
Srinath.
