I installed some mufflers I got from www.mikesxs.com sometime ago. I just installed them last month. I rejetted and am very happy with them. They are a muffler they sell for there Yamaha 2 into 1 header. They are 1-3/4" I.D. by about 15" long. I installed two. They run about $79 each on that web site. They also come with 3 bolts you can screw in to quite them down a bit if you want. I run them with the bolts out of the mufflers. They sound good to me and are NOT as loud as I thought they might be. Only draw back so far is I tend to drag them threw the turns,so I am going to have some extensions made to move them back and sweep them up a bit for clearance.

I'll try and get some as it sits now. Then after I move the mufflers back a bit. Had my grandson on back today went around a right turn and made some wonderful grinding noises. He's getting tooo big to ride on the back now 15 years old and taller than me.Poor little bike did have a load on it.

With the new 41 tooth rear sprocket it lets the wheel stand out a bit more,a little easier to see.

My imagination, or is your chain a bit tight?

It's got 3/4" free play,it's also new.Free play is there out of the seat or sitting on it.The smaller sprocket lets you see the top of the chain more also.I may make a new chain guard,drop it down a bit.--Now I am getting paranoid.I'll have to recheck it again tomorrow.Thanks.

They look better further back for what I would call your touring setup. Like the rear indicators.

How about a stainless or alloy heat shield over the new black link pipe ?

Maybe down the road,need some cash. I may try selling some TORS I do not use any more. The turn signals are off a wrecked ZX7 Kawasaki I worked on for a young guy at work after he was trying to be a motorcycle stunter.Notice the little yellow sticker on the right side of the swing arm? It is a warning I got off a machine at work so you do not put your hand in the chain,suppose to be a joke,sorta,ha,ha .
