Pictures of underseat exhaust

Post by Bobby A »

Hi guys,
I can't believe another summer is passing by without putting many miles on the bike. My job (NYPD Detective), twin boys both 16, Corvette cruises, yada yada yada...
Anyway, I have had several email requests for some detailed pictures of the exhaust on my bike. This morning before work I took some and I hope they help those that asked for them. I can post different angles if needed.
The cans don't get hot at all. Minimum popping, just usual downhill off throttle that "they all do" : )
The bike is a bit higher because of the shorter Paralever arm. This helps with clearance. I have ridden with two up and there has been no real clearance problems.
It sounds good, much much better than stock.
Hope it helps,
Bobby A

Thanks BobbyA....nice pictures....btw...looks like you've got a spring or two missing...or don't you need the lower ones going to the cans.

I would have liked to see a view from the top with the pillion seat off...any more plastic cutting going on there...any burning plastic smells... :D

Those have got to be the smallest rear indicators I've ever seen...better watch out a cop might get you..oh that's right..you are one.. :lol:

cheers

Hey DJ

DJ,
No burning at all. They never really get that hot and I have been caught sitting in NYC traffic with the bike.
I am out the door shortly to enjoy the long weekend, but when I get back I will take off the seat and take some more shots for you.
Rear indicators may be small, however they are very bright 8) (don't know about legal) :shock:
Take care,
Bobby A

Bobby--

What did you do to finish your wheels? Looks like polished lip, painted centers? Same question on the cylinder heads - are they powdercoated?

Thanks.

You get an "A'' for effort. All you need now is a shark paint job :) Seriously though, I give you credit for actually doing it. I do like your wheels a lot.

Telford,

The wheels and cylinder heads are powdercoated and the lips are polished. The handlebars, gas cap and various other bits are powdercoated blue also.

Bobby - unique bike! Thanks for the pics. I bet it's loud. The bike looks great without the rear fender.

I knew a Bobby A who worked Brooklyn South homicide about 7 or 8 years ago - I worked on an ICITAP exchange program with him in the former Soviet Union.

Stay safe.
