well here is what the jardine slip-ons (1 on each side) look like that i picked up off of ebay. there are not the coolest looking, but i don't feel they are that bad either. the main reason they are even on was that they only cost under a $100 with shipping included...and they were brand new still in the box....plus it was only a 20-30 minute install with the impact gun. i have to say....they are loud. but it is not like a sound i usually hear on sportbikes with headers. i haven't paid attention to what makes and models i hear, but in general, i find a header can sound a little more high-pitched than what these do. it almost sounds more like a custom. definately a deep sound. oh....and did i mention loud? in town here, i have to shift up a gear to keep the rpms down. just too damn loud. i stopped at my bro's place last night, and he said he heard me coming quite a ways away. and i definately feel an increase on torque.
now if you look at my kickstand, it doesn't go up all the way. i like the sound and performance of these exhaust, but i like the convenience of my center stand more. there is no way I will remove it. i can ride it now, but i need to find my limit for leaning. it hit twice yesterday with a passenger on back. the extra weight lowers the bike and a sharp dip scraped it the first time. 2nd time was in a curve with a small dip. that scrape kinda freaked me out a bit. Cyber...in another post you mentioned someone fixed theirs up with a 1 bolt set-up where they could remove and replace when needed. i tried a search but couldn't find the post. if you can remember who it was...or if anyone else knows of the thread, i would appreciate you letting me know.
