Title: slip ons from other bikes
Post by: frankieG on June 12, 2008, 06:10:16 PM
i know there are many posts but could you guys post pics or your sv, gixxer etc slip ons and how they are working for you performance wise?  i was thinking of fishing around e-bay for a good deal and wanted to see what you guys have done, how you did it and what the benefits/loses are.

thanks in advance

I would think it would be for his GS, Im really intrigued by this to. Is it cheaper to get a slip-on made for another bike? What makes are compatible?

well i'm about to put on a Yoshimura Carbon fiber exhust RS-1 on my GS500 maybe sometime this weekend if i can find someone to weld it on for me  as well as a K&N lunchbox air filter and carbed rejetted and cleaned

i will post pictures as soon as i get it on and welded and lookin pretty lol

hopefully i'll be able to write a good review on how everthing went down..

but for now i tried matchin up the exhust it looks pretty simple to do maybe a little pipe bending nothign to much
