Routing Exhaust thru Signal Pods
- Thread starter Thinker62
- Start date
looks sharp on a show bike. For a daily rider I don't think it would be practical. Lots of heat, poor poor passenger, any rich runnng engine would leave begin to leave skid/stain marks on the tail.
Thats what I was thinking too, but may not be so much different from the R1's, ZX-10's and others that route the exhaust out the azz. But I am sure some kind of heat shield would be needed.
Nice Photoshop

There is actually a guy on here that saw this bike in person. He took pics and posted it on here. He was saying that alot of modification was required on this bike. He also said that he believed that they chopped the bike in half and made the whole bike wider or something like that.
Maybe I`m wrong.. i`d like to see more pics .

If you say so.......but I competed against this bike in the International MC Shows Sportbike People's Choice competition. I have not seen it personally, but it is listed and pictured as the winner of the NY contest. My bike won in Seattle. Check here: http://www.motorcycleshows.com/motorcycleshows/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=519551
It was buil by Mike Foreman of Sport Cycle. go to this website and go thru the gallery pics at the top. http://www.sportcyclesalvage.com/ One of them lists all the specs. I think RDD is correct that the back has been widened.
Looks like they cut frame in half and then widened it 4" .
Swingarm has to be widened too to accomodate 12" wheel. It will make enough room for exhaust pipe to go through rear shock opening.

I don`t understand. If you been there and seen it in person, where the damn pictures and why you asking us how they did that.
That's cause you must be reading too fast. My first post was the following:
Later, I said that "I HAVE NOT SEEN IT IN PERSON" I posted the only "DAMN" pictures I have. I had to divert the thread to respond to the photoshop theory. But now that is cleared up, I would still like to know things like:
1. Did they use an existing exhaust like the HMF High Mount, or was it custom formed?
2. Is it necessary to widen the bike, or was that done in conjunction with the wide tire set-up?
3. What about heat?
4. What about power/performance gain or loss?
5. Did they use some kind of integrated kit to replace the turn signals?
If anyone really knows anything about this mod, please chime in.

Dont do that... Gay,lol
I did think that was pretty wierd......but I do like the concept cause when you spend thousands on custom wheels you want them to have maximium visibility.

I dont see how that would not MELT plastics ??? you could always dump the exhaust at the bottom fairings with some chrome tips? that would open that back wheel up
Thinker. Man, I apologies if I offended you in any way.
Not offended....I am cool. I think I have concluded that this is not a realistic mod for anyone who really rides. I'm just trying to figure out to do with my next bike.

+1 on frame widened, there's no way to do that jackshaftless swingarm mod without widening the frame.
