A semi-official 696/796/1100 exhaust thread

which puts it closer to the rear wheel's tallest point on full compression. that's the concern i would have.

there is a chart that shows the max amount of travel for the rear wheel. i think that's from ground. measure that at the center point of the top of the wheel.

Yeah so far so good... It's no thicker than my previous exhaust, just longer

It looks good. I'm pretty fed up with the H-Comp as well. The home-made baffles helped but there is still not enough backpressure.

Are you using the same mid pipe that was part of the H-comp kit?

I think something from TBR would work well also.

Maybe one of these?

Doworkson- why don't you extend the midpipe out taking the exhaust all the way under the light and mount the tag and signals under the exhaust?

[DoWorkSon]

That is definitely a possibility... Still playing around with it. Went for a short ride and there is a small exhaust leak around where the midpipe and muffler meet.... Have to figure out a way to solve that issue. Clearance seems fine but have yet to do any riding that would max out the rear wheel.

I think that I could extend it, and then re mount the plate somehow, maybe a bracket wrapped around the exhaust pipe, or off to the side... With the plate hanging down, clearance will be an issue, as would keeping it visible..... Another issue it securing the muffler in place... I think I will have to weld some bracket to the pipe and use springs from the muffler to pipe....

This winter when I tear down the bike for my eagerly anticipated head/cam/flywheel project I will also do that. Should be hard extending out the muffler, but more difficult mounting it.

Yeah, the exhaust packing was starting to come out, and Ryan seems to have forgotten about his previous customers after promising a baffle many months back....

However, it is still the same midpipe that came with his exhaust. It perfect because it goes from 2-1 just right at the point where the muffler slip-ons and when the muffler is on, it sits right up under the seat against two rubber bushings

I think that the 2-bros might be too big for under the seat. The reason I went with yoshimura is because they offer this muffler in 12.5"(w/o the end cap) and its pretty flat so it tucks up nicely under the bike. The top of muffler rests just on the underside of the sub frame

It's still a work in progress, hell, the bike is always a work in progress, and winter is already approaching soon

[Raux]

build a bracket using the old exhaust mount locations on the subframe rails and hang the exhaust from that.
or drill through the bottom of the CW tail piece and use that for support.

for the tag. build two vertical supports on the outside of the CW piece and attach here the signals are. 

either way. I still think you are going to be close on the bumps. a way to test is go ahead and remove the spring (keeping the shock on and go to full compression to the bumpstop. this is one of the reasons I was thinking about making a flatter oval or other shaped exhaust for the setup when i was looking at doing it. and probably why that early 696to998 motor change had that type of flat exhaust. I know that Ryan had said even on his at full compression it touches the fender.

btw nice GS back there.

got my sc projects on, look great, not sure i want to put the stickers on



they sound great too, although you can only get so much variation between the twins... they all sort of sound the same, ill try to get a video up soon

The best part of that video was at 0:20!!! Love the pipes! Great sound, especially when you nail the throttle!

what the '55 that drove by?

[696DCRider]

Leave the sticker off.  I have the same ones.  They are great, and I'm surprised that I don't see more people with them.

You got it!!

[inglese]

Ok, seems as if I changed my mind... now I want this one!
This is real badass!!!



Look at the size of those pipes!

[Raux]

a evo type exhaust mixed with SF. I like that
