While I was doing my tail chop and cans chop, I asked my friend Troy who was helping me and made me the tail chop bracket. If he could find a way to get the cans straight.
Here is what he came up with. Having a water jet cutter at his disposal helped too.

A little bending to the proper angle...

Nice nice nice - Now why couldn't Termi do that? They need to hire you.
Looks very good. Having the equipment sure helps. I couldn't do that with my Dremel tool.
very nice. now if you can build a solution for an under seat mount I'd be first in line to buy. [thumbsup]
You know Mario I've seen lots of termi full systems fitted to S4Rs and they never line up correctly.. [bang] you've done a great job there.. [thumbsup] now if only ducati would take note... ;) ;)

I'm thinking, I would like to move my shotgun to highmount undertail. custom midpipes are needed. :-\
niiiice.
I managed to get mine vertical but every time someone (else...I don't do that) changes a wheel I have to fix the exhaust myself. Lots of fiddling.
I think not too distant in my RS's future is a symmetrical either side exhaust.

If you guys want I can ask my friend to cut more brackets, I'm not sure if or how much he would charge. He saved the info on his cad program and he makes stuff like that for the Multistrada owners. Tailchop kits, skid plates, guards. All in stainless steel.

If it's stainless steel and your friend is willing to do it, I'll be first in line for 2 for the RS!

+10000000000...freakin annoying to spend that much on pipes, cut them down so they sound right, and then they aren't at the proper angle!!!!! Let us know how much please
a 10mm or so spacer between the brackets from upper to lower usually fixes them too.
