Title: R6 exhaust
Post by: Chris_B on June 18, 2006, 12:29:02 PM
Hello,
During the winter I cut up an R6 exhaust and threw it on my bike. At the time it did seem a little low, like it might scrape when cornering hard. My dad told me I would never get it over that far though, so I didn't worry about it, and then I scrapped it and almost died. So I think I'm going to be changing my exhaust and selling this one. I'm not really sure what it's worth, if anyone is interested make me an offer.

AhahhahHaHAhhA!!!!

Wow..........

AHAHHAHHAhHAHhahHAhAhHAhhA!!!!!!

Sorry, that was great.

Ok, can is way too big for the little GS. Comically outsized. Not to be a downer but

BWAAHAHAHHAHA!!!!

At least it isn't as goofy as the stock can. Actually I was wondering if anyone knew anything about those little snubby exhausts they have on the Superbikes. Interested mostly for ground clearance.

Oh jeeze. I do agree it is a big can. I don't think all the laughing was needed, but no worries, I won't hold it against you. It does sound really good, and I like it, it makes the bike look more meaty. To each his own.

I'm sure it sounds great, but it was just really funny to me. No offense intended.

I bet it sounds better than my stocker.

"WEEEEEDDDEEEEAAATTTTERRR, click, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDEEEEAAAATTTTTTTEEEERRRRRR!!!!"

LOL.

For me it's not an option because i need more lean angle. My tought are more towards the GSXR's can

Get an R1/R6 or a gixxer 600 upwards they are all very track orientated and you'll get plenty of lean on one if thats what you want.

How did you manage to grind it that much without levering the bike off its rear tire? When mine scrapped I just barely touched it and the bike went into a wobble.

whole thing, i made so that it would move, not much but i can grind all the way though a cornner, coruse if i just slam it down on to it i would loose it, but i have yet  to get it to were i lost traction, ask Thatguy,  he and i went through the mountains (deals gap) at night, all he said he could see was sparks.
