Got my Jardine on
Installed my Jardine 4 into 1 on MadMax and it didnt fit as they said it would..but I made it fit..note i didnt use that L shaped bracket...but I may have to go back and use it...not sure...the other exhaust(MAC)had no such bracket...anyways the sound is a bit more gnarly than the MAC but still both sound comparable to each other.I like the black headers and collector pipe.Chromed glasspack muffler also looks good

Those look really good.
I went out an looked at mine carefully and with the "L" bracket up, the center stand would hit on the shaft drive on that side. You don't have that problem I guess.Current Rides: '82 XJ w/Jardine 4-1's, GIVI flyscreen, '97 Triumph Trophy 1200

I dont have a centerstand on the bike...so its not a problem...plus if you look you can see that the bracket should connect on the backside of the cannister muffler but it didnt fit there so I unscrewed the nylon nut on the ring clamp and that thread is really long so I used the short bracket to connect from the frame mount to the ring clamp bolt.This also lowers the exhaust a bit over what it would have been if it fit the right way...thus I dont need the L bracket...BTW Thanks for the comments If it didnt fit this way the only other thing would have been to cut the collector pipe abt 3"-4" shorter then connect the canniser to the frame mount...as it would then match up.Last edited by madmax-im; 08-31-2008, 09:16 PM.1980 XS650G Special-Two

Mine got a jardine 4-1 (I thought!) and it looks nothing like that.
I've got a couple of pics on the ""can you identify this bike" thread from today. Any clue if mine are actually jardines?Current Rides: '82 XJ w/Jardine 4-1's, GIVI flyscreen, '97 Triumph Trophy 1200

I bought it one year ago fro a kid the same age as the bike who had no liscence and no idea what he was selling. I added the GIVI sheild and put the mesh on the side covers, plus polished the C_ap out of it...once. Had 31,000 when I got it. Pretty good deal becuase first gear needs "the Fix."Current Rides: '82 XJ w/Jardine 4-1's, GIVI flyscreen, '97 Triumph Trophy 1200

Sorry, I've been trying to take texting lessons from my 16 year old son
I added the shield and the mesh. I picked up the bike a year ago as it sits. I only removed a bunch of lower side oil and dirt. I got a really good deal because the young man without the license was saving his pennies for a crotch rocket (or an organ donor machine)

Anyone else have problems with these dragging on right and turns? Maybe I have them installed wrong?"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

That's how mine is set up. When you go hard on a right hand turn, do you scrape?
Here's mine on the bike
Here is how they are set up relative to the frame
here's the bottom of mine
