 getting my T one piece at a time. got the dual exhaust
mounted today. love the look and i'm going to make my brother s-o-o-o-o jealous. he has an '04 volusia 800 and wants duals on it so bad. can't wait
'til he sees the aero.
have a little fine tuning to do on the adjustments as far as height and distance. i'm nuts about getting things the same from one side to another. bud |

kc, how did you go about mounting the exhaust. I still haven't gotten mine on yet but that is because i'm slightly anal. I have been going through
several possibilities on how to mount them, I just need to figure out what the best way will be.
I'm going to be heading down to bamaTrider's neck of the woods, he has a tow package for the T and we figured that it should fit my ACE with no major modifications, I figured to hang the exhaust off of that. Joel

    joel, i have the heavy duty hondaline saddlebag support, so i
attached to it. for now, i only used the front bracket on the muffler. it's plenty strong like that. i rode over two hundred miles friday and it didn't
budge. only thing i am going to have to do is go back and install some rubber where i've mounted it, as i do get a little more vibration now that they are
hard mounted to the bag bracket.
i just made some pretty simple mounting brackets from 1" x 1/16" strap metal, much like an exhaust hanger on an auto. bud

That is a vision to behold. People will definitely stop for a longer look at that. I'm not being funny either. It's a way cool look. PROfiling the

Yeah I like it too. My wife and I went for a short ride today and I definately need to do something different. We are both tall people, I'm 6'3"
and she is 5'11" and on the stock seat with the stock passenger pegs she was cramped up and kept trying to get comfortable. That is one of the reasons
I need to put the T exhaust on my bike so I can drop the passenger pegs and give her more leg room, I'm tired of having her knees in my arm pits.
