Well it's not shiny chrome, but hopefully the stainless will weather a bit better in the long run. Not to mention it's a good $140 cheaper than a Chrome Kerker, and Chris at Motogpwerks is a pleasure to deal with. I just got my hands on it today.

I'll probably have to fit it, and then take it off to have a O2 sensor bung welded in for me. I don't currently have the facilities to weld stainess. I'll try and hang it on the bike to get some pictures this week if time permits.

Stainless steel 4 into 1 drool...

oh !

very nice !!!!!!

Well I couldn't stand it, so I started trying to fit the new pipe. I knew there would be some considerations due to the custom nature of my bike, but it actually fits pretty close. I need to make a slight mod to my rearset adapter plate so I can tilt it forward a touch. Then I will need to drill and tap the rearset for a stud to attach the tab on the tailpipe. That should just about do it. Obviously, I'm doing this to get the pipe as tight to the frame as possible. I cannot afford to have the pipe hanging too low. Thankfully the pipe crosses over the middle of the frame instead of running down the right side of the frame like my other exaust. I should actually have some cornering clearance on right handers now!

Here's what happened to my old pipe when I tried to go into a right hand turn very hard:



And a couple of shots of the bike with the new exaust test fitted. Sorry about the poor lighting, the sun went down before I got done.





Now I just need to make a couple of tweaks to gain a bit of ride height, and the bike will sit perfect.

That is just the icing on the cake....it complements your bike so well, really cool

nice very nice !

I'll post one when I get it all bottoned up. Give me some time, I need to go back through my carbs and get my O2 sensor mount sorted.

I know you're on the road alot but it sure would be nice to see your 1075 kit installed!! Hope your doing well-Thanks for the great thread, Scott

Scott,
I'm working my way toward that. There is on more little electronic bit that I haven't shown yet which I want to install first. It will allow me to do some baseline testing prior to the 1075 kit. It's all part of my plan, but there has just been a big delay in the middle. I'll get there.

chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's kinda what it sounds like when you ease away from a stop right now. I guess I still have some stuff in two of my pilot circuits. I went ahead and ordered new air bleed jets, pilot air needles, jet block gaskets, and choke rod rubber seals to make sure everything in the carbs is as new as I can get.

It wasn't a problem before, so I'm sure there is a little bit of the green stuff stuck in two of the pilot passages. Runs fine once you get past the pilot circuits.

I got one exaust collar that was too small, so I can't run it yet. Chris is going to overnight me a new one. I can't wait to hear the new pipe!!!
