V & H 4 into 1 closeout

[Kcwiro]

For all the jetting and filter replacements (add about ~$150 for the stage two DJ kit) I would have to do I am going to stick with my stock setup that I bought last year. I just have not sold myself on pods and since i ride in the rain up here in WA I just dont feel up for the swap.

If that is your fancy by all means...Bruce has a video he linked in a thread about V&H laying around that might be tied to a exhaust thread or a starter thread I'm not sure where it is.. search could not quickly look it up.. but it has a crazy sound to it no doubt.

Posted it in another thread, the weight is the thing for me. The drop in weight is VERY noticeable after the 4 into 1.

rain has no adverse effects with pods.....

many on here can attest to that. including me.

lol

Will the pipes for a 1000 or 1100 work for an 850? I had a muffler crack on mine the other day and I need to essentially replace my whole exhaust system.

they will work, in general
you may need to fabricate the mufler brackets
if you get the pipes from the same year as your 850 they should bolt right on

i would roll down to a hardware store and buy some allenhead stainless ones.. just put some antiseize on them when you put them in or they wont come back out

Isn't Loc-Tite what you use to keep a bolt in?

As 850G said, a REAL hardware store may have them (like Ace). I got 316 stainless allen heads from McMaster-Carr I think it is, recommended by Nessism I think. 2 packs of 5 in 316 was about 25 bucks shipped, so got 2 extra.

I got eight from the dealer last year. Not stainless, not a great price but @$2/piece they are fine. The OEM on my 1150 are allens, the replacements are hex head. Not a big deal, the head was not the weak point when removing.

Took a while...but I found it. Thanks.

$2.00 each is what I paid for 316 stainless allen heads from McMaster-Carr

25.00/10 = $2.50 each by my math? 50 cents a piece to ship a small bolt?

I admit I took the easy way. I just wanted the correct thread with the correct length. I was going to the dealer anyways.

Ok, I rounded. It was $19.16 for the bolts and $4.00 shipping so 23.16 total so about $2.32 each. I'm about to send them another order for stainless allens for the racks that hold the carbs together, the bolts that hold the headlight in the bucket and my cam caps.

Damn. Wish I saw that before I ordered. Does BB usually honor backorders? Or do they just cancel/non-charge?

I'm in no rush, so hopefully I can wait it out until supply returns

[Shaughn]

AM I the only one here that hates those pipes? I got thrown twice from having a V&H 4-1 drag exhaust on my bike. Caused serious clearance issues on hard right turns.

Don't think many of us are running the drag exhaust. Most of us have the "street Megaphone". It's prety much the only game in town (off the shelf) for these bkes unless you luck into a NOS Kerker, or get a crappy MAC.
