The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

While waiting for the temp to get above 32 I installed a new can. Yoshi RS-3 Stainless steel. Just wondering what you thought of this configuration?

Red is faster.
 
dunno what type of riding you do, but it looks as if it's going to grind the second you lean the bike over.
 
Hummmm

Hummmm

You mounted it below the rear axle. Is that to avoid hitting the can? I'm assuming you don't have enough room to mount it any higher?

If the above is true, I think I might be inclined to do a blunt dent behind the can to allow for the axle nut so you can get the can higher and as close to the bike as possible. I know my Yoshi can is a little smaller than that and rides just above the axle.

P.S. nice bike ; is that color Orange? Mine looks orange but it is stock red with a whole bunch of pearl.

I would see if you can get a muffeler shop to bend you up a differant mid pipe that would let you put that can higher. Go to autozone and buy 24" of flexy exhaust pipe in the OD you need and see if you can mock up a better bend.

it would look a lot better if you can get that can to hug the bottom edge of the passanger rearset, try tieing the exhaust strap to the shock mount on the top.
 
I think I'll end up cutting the midpipe and twisting it to get the correct angle. I just hate having it stick out like a wing tank on an old fighter. There's a muffler shop close by that will put it on their jig for a couple of bucks. I was liking it tucked in tight. I do appreciate the input. The March sun actually made the red look orange. GM Victory Red.
 
Wing Tank

Wing Tank

I don't think you need the can up at 45% to get ground clearance. My Yoshi doesn't get close to hitting and it is just above teh axle.

U do need clearace to allow for suspension travel though that is why i suggested the dent on the back. Even my Yoshi is angled away from the bike, but with that longer RS-3 can that might look too far out (away from the bike).

First off...nice bike! Mounted low like that interups the flow of the bike. You need to raise the muffler in the rear like 6-8 inches by changing the angle of attack (mid pipe) cool idea though!! If I did not already have my exhaust done I would have tried to mock one up on my bike too.
Posplayr, yours look awesome by the way!!

it looks red from the front, but oh man the can is riding low like an old impala.
 
wow that looks great!!!! I'm jealous lol That was $5 really well spent on getting the pipe bent.

Thanks for the complements. Now to pull it all apart for spring cleaning, oil change, and header painting. This is the before pic with old R1 can.

The e-bay heading said 91 - 98 cbr 600 Honda. I was looking for configuration. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260354218811&viewitem=
I had bought one off of a cbr929 that had a flange to bolt up to a stock header at the catalytic converter. It would have cost a small fortune to buy a used mid pipe and gut it to make it work. The actual header ID has to be from someone other than me. It was a rusty e-bay find. It's an after market header set from a junk yard in Oregon, although it did come off of a gs1100. My bike, E-Bay and me. I didn't have much to start with. Check out my photo bucket.

Great result from only a fin!! Furthermore, the newest iteration looks significantly better than the R1 version. My opinion only.
