OK there are carbon ones and SS ones ... I guess I could make more flanges ... just get me 20 or so and I'll get on my welder's case ...
Cool.
Srinath.
might be getting in touch watching the bids.The carbon looks like the best deal will any make or year work?
They're all $100+ shipping, and they're all scratch-and-dents to varying degrees -- buyer beware

Where do you see that? I don't see anything about them being scratch and dents.
Delano Sports Center :o....I almost bought a GS from there....crazy!@!
(thats whose ebay store has them all)
I am thinking about getting a wileyco after hearing Ryguy's bike.....
does it matter what can I get.....and are you going to make more flanges since the can would do me no good with out a flange...

Did you have any negative opinion of them? I went out to look around, and nobody approached me in like 15 minutes. It looked like the non-cruiser store was kinda small. So I left.
What's the part number I should be looking for on that page?
Yeah Rema they were straight up A-holes....told me that the GS they had was meant as a "girls" bike.....grrrr :x
I would love to have one of the short stubby ones for the newer 04 gsxr models.
Which one would fit on a '05 GS500F? :?
basically anyone would work with srinath's flange just as long as they are a 3 bolt triangle pattern. which i have only seen 3 bolt on wileyco's so far just ask the seller to be sure.

For what it is worth, my wileyco pipe was a scratch and dent special. When I got it, the box itself was in rough shape but the can itself was unblemshed. The packaging looked like it was dropped/crushed/banged around, but it must have been packaged well because the contents were fine. :dunno:
srinath, go with 4 bolt pattern...it's easier to find the can for it
oh yeah and srinath since you're here can you tell me when you plan on making another batch of your Handlebars? just wondering
In about 2 weeks I should get myself right about the time I'd need to get these projects started ... I believe I'll be able to make the bars and flanges side by side ... just gearing up for a winters worth of part making ... case savers better get some traction under them as well ... just getting on with the winters work ... Heck I might as well plan the thing ... summer is my welders busy season ... OK he's said winter is his busy season too ... :lol: ... Whatever ... he called me few days ago ... which never ever happens ... so I am guessing its a good sign ...
Cool.
Srinath.
I think summer he does outside stuff, late summer he does fixing of house type stuff ... both of whihc were slow this year since he had a new baby .... then winter all the projects show up ... the exhausts, bars for me, the busted blue dune buggy, the busted yellow dune buggy, and various trucks needing 60 gallon tanks made, the chrome guys wanting their tanks made etc ... then you cant even walk in the shop ... and he's in there working so I get time for the little sheiete ...
Cool.
Srinath.
alright cool thanks for the info update :cheers:
I'll take one with no flange.

Oh yea ... and what is it that you may be taking it for :o :? :o
Cool.

whats the deal with these wileyco's? why does everybody like them so much? is it just because there cheap? or do they sound particularly nice on the gs? maybe some combo of the two? and are we talking low bass sorta rumble, or high pitched "sporty" sound?

well BSD the deal:everybody likes them because they sound very nice, yes the can's are cheap and srinath makes a flange that will simply fit on the GS and the cans bolt directly onto it. (blue05twin told me about the 5 min installation :lol: ) the sound is more of a grunt like you would expect from a v-twin it's a nice sound depending on what you want hope this helps. :thumb:
Thx BOSS - he covered it ... just to add ... they are extremely well made ... its a bit heavy, probably twice the weight of the feather weight V&H can ... but with good reason ... V&H is paper thin aluminium ... drop it once on that side and there goes the can ... This will probably survive getting hit by a train ... just kidding ... but thick Stainless is what its base material is.
Cool.
Srinath.
Tonight... I will bring my laptop outside and record some samples of my '89 with the carbon fiber Wileyco.
Then I shall encode them as mp3's and make them available for people to download and use as their ringtones if they wish!
BOSS500:
I saw a blue '04 GS500F at the cycle stop just north of where we work... did your friend finally get a bike?
that would be awsome, I'm seriously considering buying one of the carbon ones and hearing a sound clip would probably seal the deal. keeping in mind of course that sound clips never sound as good as the real thing.
There are several sound clips of wileyco's floating around. Try doing a search for "wileyco sound clip" and search all terms. Weazelnose has some good ones. And I have short video/sound clip of mine:
http://media.putfile.com/gs500f-wileyco-riding-video1
Not carbon fiber, though. :dunno:
OK.. so..
YAMAHA TT600 R
and
YAMAHA YZ/WR 400
Should be the same pipe right? Both will fit?
OK see if that guy can show you a photo of the end that bolts on to the headers ... if its 3 bolt most likely no problem.
Cool.
Srinath.
Alrighty, so I'm fixin to buy a Wileyco can for my 05 GS500F and from what I understand, I will need a flange to mount it to the frame? Will I also need to cut the old exhaust off and weld the new one on? Or is it all bolt on/off?

Yes you need a flange that will slip on to where the headers meet. you need to cut it right after there. no need to weld it, it stays on pretty well on its own.
you can get the flange from srinath if he has some left that is.
OK.. I called the guy selling them on ebay.. First off he is super helpful and cool. He wasnt sure what ones on there are 3 bolt. He said that alot of them are 4. He is going to check them out and call me back either later today or tomorrow. I will post the ones he says are 3 bolt :thumb:
that's interesting :?
:o man that sounds good.... I gotta get me one of those, I'm ass-u-meing that instaling one will still require the usuall rejetting deal.
yes you're ass-u-meing correctly
Well, srinath, do you have any flanges left? :) If not, I can wait til next season since I'll be storing the bike away soon.
I am going to make a new lot of flanges ... Lets just say I will make 3 or 4 bolt ... I dont actually have much preference ... but I'd need a 20 order lot for 1 or the other ...
Rejet is sorta optional ... I drop weld a square plate in the flange that will cut your flow off enough to run stock jetting till you re jet ... at whihc point you can knock that plate off with a hammer ...
There were those yanashiki's that are also available in 3 and 4 bolt ... they are various colors and oval aluminum types ... 3 bolt ones were only sold in pairs - hayabusa and TL 1000 ones ... search ebay ... you can get them and split it amongst 2 of you ... If we decide to do one or the other ... it will be good for me to get my hands on one of the same ones and work that into position ... so just dont all do some random thing ... lets display some collective intelligence and get a good product in the process. I call dibs on the onlt Ti can that's in that lot. I prefer Ti cos its metal and as such while heavier than the CF, tends to stand up to the banging and shoving that accompanies the build process a lot better than CF.
Cool.
Srinath.
I searched for those yanashiki's and didn;t find anything accept billet engraved grips "yana shiki"
http://www.yanashiki.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=79
It was these, but they were sold by a place in florida and were $150 if I remember. $100 for CF wileyco seems to be a deal ...
Cool.
