GSXR/Katana Upgrades on my 550EF

[beingblueeyes]

clean looking pipe, the muff looks good if not a little "long" (my .02) how dose it sound?

[Colorado85gs550]

maybe a little long........I shortened a different pipe and it didn't look right.

I went with the long piper to get the angle up in the air more......sound clip/movie uploading now

let me just say ombray it took me the good part of a 1/2 hr to open the exhaust mod link (dial up ) and it was worth it! it sounds great and the pics you took of the rear sets didn’t do them justice, they really pop out in the vid and look outstanding

sorry about the twist of the throttle while holding the camera......I have to hold the choke right now to keep it running......tomorrow it goes into the shop for new jets/tuning

PODS and 4to1 require a good tune afterwards.......especially at 8000 feet!

Holy crap, so they aren't simple bolt-ons that you can clamp down? That might be an issue. I was hoping there was still a clamp-on filter out there for our carbs.

Dynojet kits are specifically tuned to this filter, HA-0750.........

Dynojet kits are specifically tuned to this filter, HA-0750.........

I have the L (cruiser) version of this engine/carbs so I dunno if I can even use the Dynojet Stage 3. According to online microfiche our carbs have different jetting and a few different parts, but that MAY be because your intake and exhaust are different from mine. I'm hoping that using pods and a 4-in-1 make our intake/exhaust similar enough that I can use the Dynojet kit designed for the E (sportbike) model.

Bike looks pretty good so far!

We all were hoping those were not your shoes

I was a little more worried about the bracelet!!!!

Conversion's looking good!!

[Colorado85gs550]

Thanks!!!!

More to come..........
