Some pictures of my custom exhaust.

At last I have managed to master the camera and loading pictures here, (I hope).
You can see a rear wheel, (10inch wide), but I shall show some side views another time.
The balancer box looks big in the picture but is only about 12 inches long.
It sounds great and revs easier.
Regards, Chris.

Iwonder what happened to the other pictures?

This one shows where the side silencers are not.
How do I load more than one picture at a time?

similar setup


I also replaced the mid mufflers with a straight setup. However, instead of pipe, I used straight mufflers (the kind that look like glasspacks, but higher quality).

My exhaust isn't louder. Is yours?

It is very loud, there are no side silencers and the rear silencer is smaller as well. I know someone with a race tuned Corvette and it is similar when you put your foot down. It does, however, cruise reasonably quietly because it does not need much throttle. I have saved the life of a few pedestrians by blipping the throttle to get their attention but once I did it and about five people fell over because the front two stopped to see what it was, great fun.
Regards, Chris.

It cost me £500 I just checked it and that is $807.25
I suppose St.Albans is a bit far for you?
This must be a first though because virtually everything of rbikes and cars is cheaper to import from the US than buying it here in the U.K.

As far as I know it is called a balance box, maybe that is the same. What does a resonator do?
