Hi guys, how are you?

Well just wanted to show the processing carried out in recent months on my motorcycle, with a range of accessories such as:

- T Handlebar:



- Teardrop mirrors:



- Coverage of the lighthouse:



- And luggage rack for solo seat:



All this from an official dealer.

Here I show the final result with accessories:










I have also modified the exhaust system.

First removing the Catbox:





After making a stainless steel adapters for mufflers:




And finally I replaced the original mufflers for an universal 50 Euros each:






Here are some videos to show how the bike sounds:







Well, I hope you like it, because what is to me, I love the final result.

Sorry for my bad English

Great work!

Say, did you consider getting those new stainless steel adapters you made chromed?

No, because if you look at the videos, I've covered the exhaust with heat tape

Nice work YANERO. I'd love to see still shot of the bike post exhaust wrap, as the ones before the wrap are a bit lackig. Love the cowel... I think it looks best on the silver bird.

Any chance you remember the diameter of the header (('m thousands of miles from my bike at preset so I don't know). It looks a bit like you changed diameter on your cat bypass pipe between the header and exhaust....

Looking good. Silver bird looks good with the cowl.

Please guys, if you could use a more basic language I would appreciate it, because my English is not very good and do not understand many of the things you say

Thanks BlueNose, but my English is not so good and use the help of a translator online

I think he is talking to you, Daz!

Yanero... here is a great tool to help you translate: Translate.google.com
Hope it helps you in the future!

Thanks zolti, the truth is that I really like how it fits in my bike
Yes, it retains some of the back pressure.

Thatch is very interested in wrapping the pipes on his bike, so I think he is asking you if you have photos of your exhaust wrap. We cannot see it too well in the videos.

What diameter of the stainless adapter? Is it tapered? Is there a weld?

Por favor indulto mi mal Espanol.

Que diemetro del acero inoxidable adaptador? Es agujero? Existe una soldadura? Como hacer?

The diameter of the stainless adapter is 44 mm.
It is not tapered, has a few cuts in the tip, which later were welded to conical shape so they could be adapted to the diameter of the collector which is 40 mm.
Then put two spot welds in the adaters to secure better to the collector.


I hope you can understand it well

Ahhh, your spanish is as bad as my english
