Title: Tailpipe mock up Post by Greg on 08/09/12 at 09:47:06 Still trying to figure it all out. This is where I'm at so far. I plan on wrapping the header in black and paint the tailpipe black. The muffler will be shot in red. I figure a 7" chrome heat shield at each end of the muffler to hide the ugly and a chrome fishtail tip. I welcome all thoughts, tips, and suggestions. http://files.thebenics.com/bike/exhaust/up1.jpg http://files.thebenics.com/bike/exhaust/up2.jpg http://files.thebenics.com/bike/exhaust/up3.jpg |

Not a fan of up swept exhaust? I thought of that. But so did everyone else. This is pretty unique in my area. I still don't know though... |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by CalisOsin on 08/09/12 at 10:54:50 I'm not a big fan of the look myself, but I understand not wanting the same thing everyone else has. Well done, I'd like to see it finished. |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by teabowl13 on 08/09/12 at 14:09:41 I think it's only really going to look right with the fishtail on it; that's the look you're going for. I would just be sure al of the weight gets supported hanging out there... |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by CalisOsin on 08/09/12 at 14:25:08 I don't know that he needs a fishtail (I personally hate them), but I would say he needs to "finish" that pipe... Like this one?

(http://www.steelthundercc.com/assets/exhaust%20assets/97221.jpg) Maybe this one? (http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/yaffe-afterburner-endcap-black-ea/part/ST-108-8035) Something?

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/09/12 at 17:31:43 I totally get the "I dont want mine lookin like everyone elses" thing, but there just may be a reason or 2 that exhausts have been generally left down low. |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by rfw2003 on 08/09/12 at 17:35:21 I like my exhausts down low so I can have passengers on without them burning their legs. |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by Greg on 08/09/12 at 18:30:52 I appreciate the input guys. I am still undecided. Yes, it needs painted and a tip. Support is my concern. I was thinking of a bracket from the plate mount to the tail pipe. The fender does move in unison with the engine, correct? |

Title: Re: Tailpipe mock up Post by rfw2003 on 08/09/12 at 19:01:45 yes stock fender is mounted to the frame, NOT the swing arm. R.F. |
