ncblkbrd1100xx Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Nice, You may have to washer out the radiator center mount and the left side fairing. My 99 with a full system required this and a little cutting of the left fairing way down low. I would recommend that you cover the radiator with cardboard or something to keep it from getting dinged during install. Center stand has to go as it will hit the chain. d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the CS onboard. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Re-assembling my bike last night, I installed the exhaust before I re-installed the rad/oil cooler. Much more room that way :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red J Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'm not sure, since my tailsection and triples/cluster are still mounted. I'm not taking those off to find out, either. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrdracer Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have Akra slip-ons mated to a Jap header system. I thought the Akra welds were beautiful till I saw the Jap welds. On a scale of 10 the Akra welds are a 9, Jap welds a 10+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red J Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 If I went that route, I'd probably never have an XX to ride... Looking forward to getting the rest of the engine parts this week. Reassembly may actually begin this year. :roll: J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALCXX Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 J Red, You can keep your centerstand. Two-Bros. offers a bracket to retain your centerstand. It bolts to your lower shock mount. I don't have a pic of the bracket. Sorry. One other note: The Akra pipe scapes easily. Raise your ride hieght. Shim your shock. I've got a Penske 8981 so raising it was easy. As you can see, I still have my centerstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, I still have my centerstand. I'm planning to make a bracket for the stand. I have a swingarm stand, and have added tabs on the underside of the swingarm to bolt spools to in the meantime. I have a chain oiler, so I'm not sure if I care that the centerstand gets on there real fast. I'm hoping to get an Ohlins and my forks revalved for Christmas. For now, I'll shim the shock. I'm also in Kansas, there's not a great deal of curves... :roll: Thanks for the comments. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
