Selfmod...Yoshi snobbie...
- Thread starter hydrabusa
- Start date
I just come back from the test ride...anyone thinkin about this mod? better start right away...its not just screamming loud...it handles different, alot smoother n softer(as far as Yoshi goes I guess...) and definetly aggressive like just had a steroid shot and got out on HWY...I've had this bike for 2 yrs now, that I know all about it...and I know as a heartattack it never ever this crispy throttle response...Boy my helmet was way too tight, due to the grin on my ugly mug all the time...(I did PCIIIr N Yoshi from the dealer ever since it was new...and probably cuz of the small box mod was done, prior to this mod and it was helping it...)
And the sounds...when its idleing its about the same, so as you wondering in local streets its never going to buzz neibors button...
In the HWY 5~6k...D musical comes around...
I was bit happier when I do each mod..."BUT THIS WAS A BOMB"
In my mind I kept on hearing says..."should done it long time ago...ago...ago..."
So, if anyone have quest then post it here...

I was just like you...I've had bunch of what ifs(tinbender0 @ Mar. 20 2007,14:27) What did you use to cut the carbon fiber and how did you keep it straight??? No problem with the insides???DETAILS!!!! I've been really thinking about doing mine but I haven't had the nerve to hack mine up yet!!!
Anyway, the whole process wasn't too bad...it was first time, thats why it took me 2~3 hours(most of the time I was figuring out...) and I had to go back to the home depot for get more metal cuttin wheels(those lil shed wore out fast...) and I forgot to buy me a safty goggles...

1st. drill out the revets...4mm bit I used. save the metal bands, and about 2 inch from the end of the cap(mid pipe side, not the tail side...) cut off the cannister all the way(this time don't have to be real streit line)
This is for Yoshi case...cuz, Yoshi inner pipe is welded together with end cap
Now you have to measure how short you going to get.
(mine is 9 1/2 inch long...)
Mark it with sharpie and cut it off streit line as much as you can.
(you can use the revet bands to draw streit line if you want...)
And don't mess with pillows in der...it very hard packed in it...
Back to the end cap, remove the remainings out and cut off carbons off the end cap.
look in the end cap...both inner pipe and outter cap walls are same hight. outter walls for the revets inner pipes(looks like heat shields for machine gun) for baffles.
Measure outter walls, prolly less than an inch...where the revet holes are...
And that measurement goes to inner pipe and mark it and cut off with dremel tool.
put the end cap back on half way, and measure where the revet holes going to be...(you can double check with revet bands too, put it back as it was, to make sure of it...)
tap in the cap all the way, look in the hole to make sure they line up good...
Once they touching each other, then drill the holes for revets.
don't forget the bands to put it on revet it...Done.
any questions the post it up here...
