Title: Options for hanging exhaust with Buell X1 Tail frame
Post by: utgunslinger13 on January 29, 2009, 09:12:36 AM
Guys, work is slowly getting towards that point where some final paint work and final mounting happens but I am looking at options to hang the stock exhaust without the link that went to the rear pegs.

I've added a Buell X1 subframe so the rear pegs are non-existent.  Is there another way to hang the stock exhaust of the caliper or swing arm (doesn't seem like a smart idea to me!)?

Thanks,

Nick

Thats BRILLIANT!  Do you have any other pics of the tail section on the GS?!  I think you have 100% solved my problem!

Thanks!



On a side note, you start all your posts with "SERVUS".....What does that mean?
