Hmmmm, a Christmas present that's late, but worth the wait.
Hope there a trouble free fit.
-
Me too
-
I'm free next week if you want a hand to fit it?

I've got a grinder and a big hammer if that helps ;D
-
That's very reassuring. Paul. Have you got some stainless rods for your welder? (you didn't mention that)
-
Got SS wire for the MIG. Got Argo shield.
Same as the multi meter ...still got no idea.
But the exhaust looks sexy dunnit ?

it scares me my friends. :o ;)
-
Don't be afraid Heinz, I'm qualified to use hammers ;)
Ev, the welding rods are a given, I never leave home or take on an exhaust job without ém
-
Stand back, I have just the right tool for this job.

I'm jealous as hell Xtian but I am selling the farm so maybe soon eh ;D
-
Now thats a bloody good idea!!
-
That exhaust looks beautiful!! Congrats on your purchase. I wish I could afford a set or three.
Now maybe you want to paint it with BBQ heat paint and wrap them too. Then paint on a couple of believable rust spots and maybe a few holes. :D :o ;D At least that way no one will want to steal them right out from under you while you are riding.
As for the wrench and hammer, I am actually surprised that no one has come up with one for the market. I know loads of people who would buy it as their only tool. :o
-
Hey Ras
I know a lot of people that just use the shifter (wrench) as a hammer.......bloody butchers
-
Yeah Jonezy, I think I bought a couple of bikes from them a few years ago to restore.

Here's my version of a composite tool -

Not as brutal as brett's device

But damned handy at work. As well as the shifter end, it's got a philllips screwdriver, flat edge screwdriver, plain knife, and a saw tooth blade with a handy nail file on the back of it. Too small for the axle nuts unfortunately, but I use proper tools for them.
Can't remember where I got it from, but I've had it kicking around for years. Oh, and it's factory made like this.

Hi I'm new to the site and I need an exhaust system for my build. If I can't find a good four into two I will have to go a Four into one from the states. Did you get them made of lucky to find a good second hand system
-
A bloke in Germany makes them, same as the original inside and out except in stainless
Cost me about $1500 landed here fit straight on
He also makes them for the RH and the XS750 triple
-
...He also makes them for the RH...
A system that'll fit the RH will also fit any "Special" and the XJ1100 too... That's worth knowing...
If you're desperate, I have a Motad 4:1 for sale here (http://xs1100.com/forum/index.php?topic=11769.msg106199#new)
It'll cost a fair bit to pack and ship it though....
