Pipe from Japan for my Vino..

[jonnyrocket]

I thought I was being a smart ass and found this pipe from webike in Japan for %50. Shipping sucked. lol! I tried to mount it today and the photos show the results. I tried the old plugged pipe again and it fit fine. Other than returning it right off, does anyone have some advice? These pics are without the gasket and still couldn't align the bracket hole. This is my second pipe swap on a bike ever. First on this one.

I thought about cutting the bracket , but alas I don't have a welder yet...

Put all the bolts in first.
Don't tighten the front ones before you've put the rear ones in.

Then tighten them loosely.
And finally torque the front ones down first.

The last three pipes I've brought I have had to modify to fit. Yasuni eco, silent pro, and a stage 6 street.
It's funny don't seem to have this trouble with the expansion chamber exhausts.
It's hard to see from the pictures how far out it is. Two of the pipes I just had to move the mounting holes, like this.


The other I needed to make some spacers.

I think these images show what I had to do... LOL! I bought and learned to weld just for this pipe! Good skill though to learn anyway.

Yeah just moving the holes wasn't going to work. Good job.👍

Thanks! Now to learn how to tune it.
