Just a couple 'make me smarter' questions

[Guest]

The picture on this auction shows a bike with a shaft drive on the RIGHT side. I thought all the G models had the shaft on the left side.

And a pair of mufflers, regardless of manufacture, really that valuable? For just a few bucks more, you can get a complete system!

Maxxim's have it on the right (some).

Can't help you with the original question as I don't know but sorry to see you're still looking for an exhaust system!

Agreed. I tried blowing it up a bit, it appears to be a 900 Custom.

Honda CB1000 custom with the 10-speed transmission.
Way too much money.

The crappy photo in the auction is just the standard crappy photo that Dennis Kirk and others have always used in their catalog.

In other words, the exhaust system will fit the bikes stated -- they just used the standard photo of a Jardine system, which happens to be some Honda.

If you read the auction text, this is explained.


Now, whether it's worth it or not is up to you, but they're not making any more, and neither is anyone else. IIRC, these were over $400 new, but on the Jardines I've seen, the quality was never that impressive.

Yeah... "Champagne taste, beer budget" Still looking for a 4-1 or 4-2 that exits straight out like the OE, that costs less than my monthly rent payment.

Would prefer a decent used system. Trouble is everyone seems to have a different definition for 'decent'. There's a guy on Fleabay selling what he claims is an setup for my bike, but it's obviously not. Megaphones look like crap on the exit end. Then he won't talk about allowing me to look at them or local pickup, even though Fleabay says he's only 80 miles away.

Beginning to lean toward the V-H Sidewinder and adding the optional baffle.

Don't you ever want to turn right?

I thought that pipe exited along the same basic elevation as the OE system. Am I incorrect (again)?

[Steve]

The pipe is mounted a bit higher, but goes completely beside the engine, rather than under it.
This allows you to lower the bike for drag racing.
I think you have to modify the brake lever a bit, not sure about the footpeg.
Cornering clearance is greatly compromised on the right side.

The search goes on then....
