    Help me choose an aftermarket exhaust for the XX

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Im more than likely do the Muzzy's that SGT ski posted and ill have money left over for the PC3... if there still available next monday.. if not, ill probably go with the Jardine on on ebay for $450 shipped...

    I like the blueflames ALOT.. but if i can get some good quality slip-ons AND have enough left over for a PC3.. i GOTTA take it.. that Muzzy deal is a great price..

    PLEASE post pics when you get them Sgt ski.

    Widening the stock XX rear wheel...

    The swingarm isn't the issue, the chain is. I think a 190 is as wide as you can go before running into the chain.

    didnt think about that... hmm... has to be able to be done somehow... maybe a different wheel all together? if a differrent swingarm is required so be it...

    now you got me thinking... hmmm...

    Widening the stock XX rear wheel...

    Posted

    I know the stock XX rear wheel is 5.5"... i was thinking of sending it off and getting it widened an inch, maybe 1.5" Has anyone ever done this? I want a wider rear tire, but still want it to turn fairly well and really dont like the extended swingarm look.. any idea what the maximum tire width would be with the stock swingarm? im sure i couldnt probably take it past a 200 - 210 rear without a different swingarm, but i just spent a good little while polishing the stock piece and would like to use it if at all possible...

    just an idea... i know these guys will widen the stock wheel... :icon_confused:

    2000 XX... titanium.

    Im kinda torn between the full system and the slip-ons, and money IS an issue.. i have about $750 max to spend. Right now the bird is stock, minus a K&N filter... the frame,swingarm,wheels,rearsets, etc is all highly polished... so i want a system that is proably stainless because i want to keep the polished/chrome theme with the bike.. i dont want carbon fiber or a dull titanium.. i like alittle bling :icon_biggrin:

    i cant swing a power commander right now... so if i do the full system, it will probably be running on the stock map for awhile (I dont know if thats OK or not). I do like the Look of the dual exhaust better...

    Future plans/dreams for the bike is take it to Bonneville or have it timed top speed from the ECA at maxon...

    right now, Indysuperbikes.com has the Yoshimura RS-3 full exhaust for $628... and the scorpion slip-ons for $519... havent found them cheaper anywhere else. the yoshimura slip-ons look real good too...

    looking for all reccommendations within my price range... if you have a Picture of your exhaust id really like to see it as well, the pictures on the manufacturers websites arent all that great... Im KINDA leaning towards slips-ons.. (Ease of install, no power commander required, like the dual exhaust look) id really like to see a pic of the scorpion slip-ons. On ebay, you can get a new set of Jardine slip-ons for $450 shipped.. which is way below budget... and would actually leave me enough for the PCIII.. but hows the quality on Jardine? never heard of them... thanks!

    thanks for the help in advance folks.

    HONDA WING IN TRIPLE TREE

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Just for information........this may or may not be news.

    The honda wing in the triple tree is plastic and can be removed when polishing or powder coating. I use one of the snap off blade knives and ease the blade under one side then gently lever it up. It is held in with some sort of grey adhesive almost like a tape. I found this out when I was trying to get some shit out around the edge of the thing. Since then I powdered a triple tree then put the emblem back in, it looks great all black and the silver wing.

    DUH...

    Smoothed and Polished top factory triple tree

    Posted

    i spend alot of time looking at it, its kinda like a focal point to alot of stuff..

    I think maybe you should be looking at the road ahead instead :icon_think:

    Im not overally concerned with the Glare from the sun... (ill know soon if its bad or not).. :icon_gay: :icon_gay:

    yea, your right, i stare at the controls the whole time im riding... :icon_rolleyes: i meant when the bike is parked dumbass.... and its gay to make shit look better/cleaner than it came from the factory? ok..

    It actually took me longer than i thought because i couldnt figure out what i wanted to do with it.. probably took about three hours from start to finish, (with dinner in between)

    It looks good i am anxious to see it back on the bike. but please dont put a maltese cross in it!!! Are you going to powder coat the clip ons or will they be getting polished also? how hard was it to get the top triple off? something i could do in 15 minutes?

    thanks.... the clip-ons are already polished, as are the grips and bar-ends. the triple tree was pretty easy to get off minus the two allen bolts holding the ignition to the tree that were hard to get out.

    something you could do in about 25 mins probably.

    Nobody sells (To my knowledge) anything other than the stock top triple tree. kinda wanted something different... i spend alot of time looking at it, its kinda like a focal point to alot of stuff.. Im not overally concerned with the Glare from the sun... (ill know soon if its bad or not).. went ahead and polished it, smoothed all the lines (Top and bottom) and rounded the corners. the line on the top of the second pic is actually the roof line in the house at the top. the little plastic honda emblem i painted flat black, and filled in the wings with red.. also polished the center bolt... ill add a few pics tommarow when its on the bike.

    I thought about actually cutting an XX into the left side or.. something.. maybe making a maltese cross and molding it onto triple tree...

    or maybe im just too anal and should just leave it the hell alone...

    I Need Rearsets!!

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Actually broke the lower footpeg hole off while installing buell pegs.... it was my stupidity... anyway i was thinking of just doing rearsets instead of just replacing the stock stuff..

    the RC51 rearsets look almost idential to the few (and expensive) XX rearsets ive found, just kinda curious if they will work. the cheapest ive seen is $375 over at Kneedraggers... dont really care much on the adjustability factor so much as the quality/price aspect...

    looking for reccommendations.. thanks all..

    super deal on gloves...

    in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews

    Posted

    ordered these from olympia gloves... arrived 4 days later total of 32.50 shipped for kanagroo palms, kevlar, and really nice gloves... very well made..

    go to olympiagloves.com, look a the 335 "the protector" then go to internet specials and they have the blue and black for $24.99 + shipping in all sizes... retail is $99.99

    i like the small carbon fiber on the palm and on the joint of the thumb..

    just wanted to pass it along.. i wear a XXL in alpine stars and joe rocket, and the olympia gloves XL fits me perfect.. so they fit alittle bigger than those brands.

    i can post pics if you want.. but these are a great buy..

    aftermarket rims

    yea i here it is. i have a full D&D on the way.. for it.

    IPB Image

    as im sure you can imagine a nice 210 or 200 would look pretty good on it. not overkill, just right.

    i was under the impression that no one made a swingarm extension for the XX....

    Can you give us details on where to get it... price... fitment... etc..
