MacBirdXX Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 anyone know who makes an exhaust hanger for the bird? (I'll definitely check with beezer on the IRXXA site in the UK). Thanks! :?: :grin: Quote
Northman Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 You mean like a replacement for the passenger peg hanger? Quote
MacBirdXX Posted January 28, 2004 Author Posted January 28, 2004 yes...right side...left side comes off. Quote
Redbird Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Left passenger peg could be removed when fitting a 4-1 system, I think he wants to replace the right passenger peg with a plain exhaust hanger. Quote
mickcbr1100 Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Haven't got a clue sorry :sad: you'd have to look at other bikes that do have hangers made for them to see if you could make one fit. Mick aka Bezzer Quote
Mechanic Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 It's not difficult ot make your own. Use stiff cardboard to make a template. Get some 1/8" - 3/16" Al Alloy sheet, and copy your template - Voila It can all be done with a handrill, hacksaw, vice, file, mothers, and the will. Extra tip: Cover the Ally with a couple of layers of masking tape before cutting and bending the metal. Polishing is much easier and the results better without scratches. Quote
MacBirdXX Posted January 28, 2004 Author Posted January 28, 2004 Hey mechanic, since you're so close to me (I'm in Vancouver too), want to have a go for me? Not my cup of tea Quote
Mechanic Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Hey mechanic, since you're so close to me (I'm in Vancouver too), want to have a go for me? Â .... It's a possibility. Having seen the pictures of your steed I would suggest another alternative. Pick up a RH passenger hanger on eBay (about $25 with postage) Remove the peg. Saw off the lugs. File to blend and polish. Really very easy, and would look the dogs bollocks. You can get almost anything you need on ebay if you're patient - from my experience you should be able to score that part within a month. Quote
Mechanic Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Well, what do you know…. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=10460 Item # 245642660 Quote
MacBirdXX Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 never done the 'ebay thing', but should start as it would save me some bucks. If I wasn't being such a goof about the weight of my bike, I'd go for it, but there must be something out there. You've got a great idea and will probably follow your advice in the end. Thanks! Quote

I was at work and in a hurry. Quote
Eric_The_Jew Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Anyone ever find an aftermarket company that makes one of these? Quote
Eric_The_Jew Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I found a place that makes one for the bird: http://www.r-r-racing.com/randrbrackets.html Only $25, too! Quote
