Jester upgrade almost there

Been a lot of effing and b'ing and c'ing and standing scratching my head at times but its looking good and the only begger of a problem is I think I need to remove the earth wire going to the battery and relocate.

Well,tidy install and it it looks a well made piece of kit..........................for an RSV4


Still this is what customising is all about,be a crappier world if we all liked the same things so fair do's for something different.

Love what you've done, but still getting used to the shape.
Good work.

Very nice bike and sick evo!

Jesus Christ!!!!!!!,only 540?

What do jester suggest? Well mate, exhaust is a tough one, ive got a mate whos a coppersmith who could probably bash a nice can for me so going to give him a shout and see what he can suggest, something as light as possible maybe titanium?? the idea ive got in my head though isnt something ive seen really, I like the idea of a black side exit at the same kind of angle as the tail to really make it flow. I do really like the look of the Austin GP2R ti and in titanium should be light enough without support????

Yep I've seen that one on the Jester website, looks sweet.

I think you def. need some rear support otherwise you will lose it down the road somewhere. Its only got springs holding it on at the end of the day.

You definitely need support on the can. If not on the can hows about something a bit more inconspicuous like a bracket from the foot peg/heel plate going to the link pipe ?? Just an idea, the amount of movement in it without a bracket (while hitting normal road bumps/potholes and speed bumps at the maximum permitted speeds on her majesty's highways !!) would eventually f**k the pipe.

Think of it like this...
    Put one pipe inside another (with a nice snug fit) and clamp one end in a vice, now move the un clamped end up and down, where the pipes join, the external one will start to elongate and eventually possibly tear and the inside one will start to bevel inwards top and bottom where the forces (not jedi forces) have been acting against eachother.

Just a thought.

I learned the hard way on my CBR that support is required for the can! I'd removed the support for some reason, then gone to get the bike and forgotten the fixings. Thought f**k it it's only a 5 mile run up the road, as I was approaching my destination I thought bike sounded kinda loud, turned round and exhaust was gone! Found it 2 miles back in a grass verge.

Agreed, low level and short will definitely be required to keep it looking right.

Jester funnily enough

He's a top guy and very helpful, there's a fair bit of buggering around fitting it, although if I did it again I'd have it done In a few hours as opposed to days

Needs a pipe like this buddy to finish it off......
