    New Exhaust System

    Just got an exhaust system from Motad in the UK. 4 into 1 steel triple chromed.
    Fits straight on with no mods and nothing removed comes with everything and leaves access to everything.
    It is very quiet..... good for long hauls almost like it was with the standard 4 in 2 and fuel consumption is a bit better.

      .. yes, how about some pictures of these, i have been to three UK sites and no one had pics of actual product. but the ones that i have seen for other bikes looked very nice
      .. the prices for us in the US would be kind of high plus shipping but "you get what you pay for" right?

                  Nice bike, but you need to find a new parking spot. I am under the impression that only Harleys should be found parked next to trash dumpsters.

                    Nice pipes,

                    SO, that's $636 bucks US if my calculations are correct! Think I might rather buy local, use for 10 years or so, and then buy again since that's about twice the price we would pay here, although probably no where near the quality..triple chrome!!

                      like the paint job looks very nice,i put a brand new 4 into 1 marshall deep tone sounds ok but yours looks better,oh i think the grab bar on your seat is the wrong way up.

                        How is the ground clearance under the collector?

                          Well the pix were taken at work and thats a safe spot for the bike, no the grab rail is right, its a standard not a special, paint job is original but have to get a ding taken out after a recent prang, if there was a local set that was made for the bike that was as well done as these it would cost nearly $1000 anyway and these are set up in all ways for the XS, ground clearance is same as standard...maybe a bit better that is the main stand still scrapes on left handers...phew

                            Thanks, Chris. The reason I ask is it looks like the collector might be low enough to scrape when going over a speedbump.

                              Nice looking pipes. A 4 into 1 into dual mufflers looks doable with the set-up.

                              (I also think the seat grabrail is upside-down. I have a standard and my grab rail goes the other way and follows the contour of the seat).

                              A fine looking bike!
