    Default installing full brocks exhaust

    i just ordered a brocks short meg in black w/ red plate and was wondering if the install is a straight forward install similar to other sport bikes. looked around the site and found some good pics but just thought i would ask first. ive ran/installed full exhaust on most of my other sport bikes but my r1 was a bit of a PITA with the 2 cans in the rear.
    got it from ball z site sponsor, good price and thx for the fast ship.

    Put a Short Meg on mine and easy installation,and Brock says just loosen the radiator but i went ahead and took it off(a lot easier not having it hanging in the way).

    thx for the pics and info, can wait to start wrenching. i mind as well do an early oil change since these plastics arent the easiest to get off and i have easy access to the filter. ill post pics of my pipe as well since i could find a pic with the black exh with the red plate on a busa, only chrome with the red plate was all i found on my search.

    remove the radiator and oil cooler and its a breeze, get some allens that attach to a ratchet and have extra antifreeze. Also my personal recomendation is that you get new exhaust gaskets so that way it gives you the peace of mind of not having a leak and having to do it all over again.

    Do you HAVE to remove the radiator/oil cooler? If I do remove the radiator, can I just refill the antifreeze/coolant once I connect it back up or does it need a whole new coolant flush?

    No, just remove all the mounting bolts and let it hang so you can maneuver it as needed to get the headpipe in place.

    I don't know how many we've put on, at least 6 Gen-2's and every one of them has had at least one header bolt bent, sometimes 3 or 4. I think they overtorque them at the factory. I keep some extra screws in my toolbox so I don't have to chase them down when I need them.

    I would have slapped that header on and called Brocks. It would actually run a tad quieter that way
