Title: high pipes
Post by: MrDan on June 07, 2005, 12:10:54 PM
i just searched but was unable to find an answer.  does anyone know of a set of high pipes that can be installed on a 93?  i love the high pipes on the Monster and would love to replicate it (instead of just waiting for the funds for that bike).  i have a feeling it would need to be a custom job, but who knows ...

thoughts?

edit: borrowed (ok stole - sorry) this image from JetSwing .... i want pipes like these:

You have answered your own question. Custom is the only way you are going to get them.

Mount the can where you want it. Take the bike to a muffler shop and have them make a mid pipe. Also, call around to some custom bike shops to see if they can do it or give recommendations on another shop.
