Yup, I wussed out and took my bike to a local shop to have them install the Wileyco    However, they did do a really good job, much better that I could have done with my limited knowledge and limited tools. I also made a good connection with a local shop if I ever need something else done that is over my head, And they are less than a mile from me  

Anyway, here are some pics of how it turned out. They did the cutting, welded it on there, made me a spacer bracket, welded the centerstand bracket back on, etc.

From a distance:



Up closer:



The spacer bracket:



The center stand bracket:



..and Srinath's flange.  Before I had it installed I painted it with 1200 degree ceramic black paint. Atleast I did THAT part myself.  :lol:



Special thanks to Srinath and being a heck of a good guy and helping me get the flange. You're a good man, I don't care what Pandy says about you  :lol:  J/K.

The sound is AMAZING. I am SO HAPPY WITH IT. It sounds better than I could have imagined it to, it sounds more like a "real bike". Very impressive. It has even turned a few heads so far and some of my friends that are into bikes heard it before and after and were like    and I was all like  

Good stuff!!

Its pointed out too much ... and the space was sorta not needed ... I bolted it on the carrier ... That spacer may be making it point out to the side too much ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Very cool!!  I wanna hear sound clips of it... or you could just ride to Hershey with us so I can hear it.  

I want one now too...  

sweet   can't wait to do mine!

psst...where to get a wileyco exhaust can for the flange i'm getting from you?

I was wondering that Srinath. Why do you think they made that bracket? I noticed no one else has the bracket. I don't mind being different, and I like it the way it is, but I can't really understand the logic of it being there either?  :dunno:

i can scrape the muffler on the ground without that crazy bracket, I'm suprised you're not scraping on the garage floor.....

The hanger the wileyco comes with will need a little twisting muscling into position ... They may not have realised that ... I'd clamp them in place and leave the bolts a shade loose, And tug/shove everyhting into place and then cinch down the flange bolts ... shove some more and then tighten the clamp. They may have sorta shot themselves in the foot by welding it on wihtout fitting it ... Yea most likely ... My guess. So now the can is off ... they are used to working under cars ... where their work never gets seen ... so they dont have the whole idea of pleasing to the eye in mind. But the centerstand bracket is good idea though ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Well, you will REALLY want one after you hear it

I got it from DK-TRADER on eBay as a Scratch N' Dent special. It was $50 plus shipping.

Um, ok? Maybe you are heavier?  :lol:  Seriously, the centerstand bracket isn't any closer to the ground that the stock configuration is it? It is not a new bracket; they just took it off and re-welded it back on. It is the same one. As for the other spacer bracket thing, that is no where near the ground..it is about 3" outwards. So I guess I am not sure I know what you are saying.

Actually they are an all bike shop. They do custom fabrication, welding, bike repairs, parts, and even build their custom bikes. However, they are evidently chopper/harley guys from what they said and the other bikes in their shop and the others outside. They probably don't know a Wileyco from a Wiley Coyote  :lol:  but I think for the most part they did a good job. Kinda weird....but good.

No he scraped the muffler on the road in the twisties ... not centerstand ...
Cool.
Srinath.

By the way, I made a video clip that has sound if anyone cares about hearing it. I don't know of anywhere to host it? Photobucket doesn't host videos to my knowledge, and it is like 2.25mbs, it has a couple revs. It isn't that great, but for those who haven't heard one it might be cool. I know Chris/Weazelnoze has some sound-only clips that are smaller, if you search "wileyco sound clips" you'll find that also. His sound great and are smaller file sizes.

Email it to me, I wanna hear it.  

try putfile.com - it might fit

no, i scraped it riding hard in the corners... leaning over too far...

If you still haven't found a host, I can host it if you like.

I finally got a second to look at the pics... and damn, you're right.  I know you're feeling good about it right now, Phaedrus, but that's a hack job.  I'd take it back and demand that they redo it with a) the end of the exhaust pointing down, like it should, and b) it not sticking way out from the bike like that.  That's a really unprofessional job they did, IMO.

All I can think is that being folk who do choppers, they thought the most important thing was to have the logo maximally visible...

Thanks for the advice Roadstergal, but I like it and it is staying as-is

So much for doing whatever a girl tells him ...  :lol:
Its not exactly a hack job, looks like they did put care into it ... but just an un intended design variable ... How's that ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Haha yeah, I haven't yet learned the "shut up and do as women say" thing. However, I do admit if I DID learn that, my life would be SOOOOOO much easier  :lol:

I'll see what I can do about getting a pic from the rear, too.

NOBODY does that... trust me.  

Quote from: seshadri_srinathIts not exactly a hack job, looks like they did put care into it ... but just an un intended design variable ...

Yeah, I disagree with it being a "hack job" also. They did take a lot of care to cut everything perfect, did a great weld, did a great job with the center stand bracket, etc. The spacer bracket, I admit, is a bit of an odd ball thing. But just because it is an odd ball piece of hardware, doesn't make it a "hack job". I actually think they tried TOO HARD, and made it more complicated than it had to be.

They coulda just cut the pipe, stuck the flange on it with the palm of their hand, and zip tied a piece of tire for the center stand. Would that make it a hack job? :lol:
