Quote from: PhaedrusThey 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:

substitute "hit flange with plastic mallet" for "with the palm of their hand", "tennis ball" for "piece of tire", and you would have a PERFECT setup.

No, that would have been a rat job.  I still think it was not well done on their part.  I have a friend who has a welding apparatus; the actual welding is a matter of having the equipment and having a little practice on it.  A shop job should take things like proper positioning into consideration before they went ahead and welded.  As Srinath has posted before, there's a reason for the tip to point down.  And the 'spacer' looks like pieces they'd have around (Hey, Merv, this doesn't fit...).  But, if you like it, that's cool.

I do give them points for relocating the centerstand bump stop.


Edit: I apologize if it comes across as raining on your parade, which is not what I'm trying to do.  But it irks me to see people making good money by doing things all quickie-like.

Yea I'd say they over did it ... and its already raining here ... so go ahead and rain away ... some more rain wont make a diff ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Yeah, I get something done that I like and I am happy with, and all anyone does is talk crap about it.   That will teach me to post anything else about my bike. That is the thing though, when you post something, you gotta expect criticism from the peanut gallery. I'll know next time to just keep quiet and enjoy my bike

Yea that's the beauty part ... you only need to please yourself ...  :lol:  ... And see now you're the talk of the town too ...
Cool.
Srinath.

i am considering doing EXACTLY your setup  

i can just imagine a comatose cager doing something unsafe and nearly killing me. i can pull up to them at the next light, wave nicely & say hi to get them to open up the window...

...then aim the exhaust at them and goose the throttle just before i take off...

eat my dust :nana:

Thanks Ginoe, I laughed when you said about pulling up next to a car and goosing it. Haha. That would work well    The only forsee-able problem with the outlet not being completely down would be in the event of rain getting in there. But even then, it is at an angle, not totally upwards. The few centimeters of lip might make a slight difference.  :dunno:

I followed Ginoe's suggestion and put it on putfile.com. This is a new one, not a revving one like I emailed to some people. This is me on my GS500F riding down a street. It's under 30mph but it sounds pretty good still

That sound just about like mine.

Wait it sounds just like mine.

I totaly disagree with the naysayers.  Take a look at the exaust angle.  It follows the body lines better than most of the Wileyco installs I've seen, and if you look at pic 2, the exhause looks like it would have hit the passanger footrest bracket if not for the spacer.  Also, the Passenger footrest looks like it would hit it when it was down if it were closer.

I LIKE IT.  I think it follows the lines better.  I don't minde the creative spacer.  

Oh, and as for the outlet facing the wrong way...why couldn't he just remove the endcap and turn it down?

Don't listen to all these people that don't like it...it's only important if you like it.  And if it helps, you've got my vote

Lookin & soundin good Rich!!  

in real life it kinda sounds like a D and D exhaust except alot quieter.

Quote from: seshadri_srinathIts 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.

Ok, finally, here is a pic from the rear:

I just heard it. That sounds good.  

hey rich the bike sounds great!  now we can tear it up on our next ride!  thoughts... would rotating the can inward by one bolt make it line up better?  the sticker can always be removed and glued in a different position.  was that the original position of the sticker from the factory?

that looks fine,when you get more tools and know how you can change it. but for now just go riding.

Quote from: PhaedrusSpecial 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.

Byte me! Srinath has been so much kinder and gentler since his beloved and his progeny returned.

I guess youv'e not seen the posts about burning the purple to see if it burns ashy grey or black, and the Barney/Roadkill episode ...  :lol:
Cool.

I saw them...and responded to most.

I still say, you're kinder and gentler! Heck, those things are downright tame compared to a month ago!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :kiss:
