Help me enjoy my XB12X

[fattyJr]

Well I tried fitting the reverse exhaust I had made up at work the other day and fired it up. It sounded reasonable (), but I didn't like the look so pulled it off and went ahead with the twin cones underneith.

I got some pics.





I can tell you one thing, I let the bike idle for 4-5 mins then took it for a run. DAMN what a rush

Yeah i second what Lusiphur said!! :up:

Gopro is mounted and ready for the run to work in the morning.

I can tell you this from my breif run this afternoon, the exhaust has changed the demenor of the bike. The bike is lifting the front wheel up in 1st and 2nd. Makes it light in 3rd too. That's with my (cough) lightweight 140kg body straggling it.

Going to run it a few days and then check the AFV with ecmspy

Nice, post a vid of the new twin rear exit cans please

 

[fattyJr]

You ask and you shall recieve. One little problem was discovered. Riding to work today, i could hear a rattling at certain points. Heard the same on the ride home from work. Checked and found the baffles had shook loose so i got to make HD ones.

Here is a fresh clear pic



Video is after I removed the baffles.

that just looks like hell. a rear tire absorbing all that exhaust heat shall become spectacularly ablaze like the sun appearing as a giant orange orb in the east on a clear crisp morning.

That rear tire is going to look like something from Ghost Rider. Lol!!!!

Check the pictures, The cans are not pointed at the rear tyre, They are angled out from under the bike and around the tyre. It's not my first rollercoaster regarding exhausts.

I also do not baby my bikes, they get a good thrashing twice a day, to and from work. I checked the rear tyre temp when I got in tonight and the tyre was bearly warm. If i notice the tyre temps rising, I can add another section onto the back of the cans.
