I don't think it will be the same. I don't know what exhaust regulations may be in France but one of the problems with the UK version is the catalytic converter. The only real way to "adjust" the original system would be to open it up, do whatever required on the inside and then weld it back...

True but not true. If I was quoting an angle of lean then you would be right but as the footrest, brake pedal and exhaust are all mounted on the same bit of frame and in pretty much the same location then the order of hitting would be the same as I quoted. If we want to get technical then I...

Good question... So... Either I had to go round a corner at speed or... What I eventually thought of was. If I didn't want to bring the bike down to the road then better bring the road up to the bike. So... I got a bit of board laid it along the line of the wheels and gradually angled it...

I wasn't exactly keen on it myself, but the silencer is not very heavy so I don;t think it will be a problem. I'm considering using a bit of 8mm stainless bar with a spacer between the rubber mounts and cutting my own threads but I'm not sure it really needs to be any more complicated. Also the...

I'd certainly advise waiting because once you have the new system fitted you are going to find it very hard not to rev past 5 grand. Remember.... Patience is a virtue. (or so they say).

Finishing off... Having made sure nothing is rubbing/hitting we can now go ahead and tighten all nuts and bolts. Don't forget front pipe nuts (use some Coppaslip on the threads) and the Lambda Sensor. Re fit the brake plate (see removal thread) Fire up the bike and listen for any...

Silencer mounting Method 2 Slightly harder but better (in my opinion) Overview... In this method we use the two original rubber mounting brackets (left on the silencer in the How to Remove thread). Simply mount these back on to the bike frame. We then use a piece of studding through the...

Picture 5... Fit the silencer mounting strap. Making the runbber gasket fit correctly can be a bit fiddly. You will need to trim it to suit. Exactly where this fits on the silencer will depend on where you mount it so, for now, just wrap it lightly around the silencer. Silencer Mounting...

Okay. This follows on from my previous thread "How to... Exhaust System Removal". General overview... In this thread I show how I chose to fit the Arrow exhaust system but without the centre/extension pipe. I preferred this to the manufacturers system. Some of the procedures are the reverse...

I'm going to do a sound comparison video but using a decent microphone. Will also do a drive by sound recording to get an idea what it's like for everyone else. Personally I don't want it loud for the sake of it or to cause annoyance. Just louder than the original.

Just took my bike for its first run after fitting the Arrow exhaust system and I have found two main problems... First.... You will find yourself overtaking everything in sight just so as you can hear that wonderful exhaust note. Second... You will find yourself doing the completely...

I'll have to get back to you on those questions though I'd expect it to be oppressively loud without DB killers as it's loud enough with them. As for legality (UK) No cat. I've often thought it should be possible to make "variable" DB killers by having a rotating baffle in which holes lined up...

Cost me a few pence short of five hundred quid delivered from Italy (Ebay). Complete system, came in two boxes taped together and took about a week to turn up. Full tracking info given so no problems there. Pretty easy to fit and as already mentioned I'll ad a how to soon. I'm going to add a...

Arrow Exhaust and home made Tail tidy Some pictures of my bike with Arrow exhaust fitted ("Shortie" style) and home made tail tidy. How To with pictures coming shortly. The easy way... and the better way... Shame about the full size number plate but that's next on the list (Indicator width is...

Part 2... Picture... 3c... Showing brake pedal bracket tied out of way and improvised frame protection (plastic bag). Picture 4... The silencer is held on with two rubber mounting brackets (B) that bolt to the frame with two (per side) 6mm bolts(C). You do not need to remove the brackets from...

First part of my how to remove the original and then fit an Arrow Exhaust system. As I can only post four pictures at a time I will have to do this in two parts. (Bit annoying). This part concentrates on the fairly simple task of removing the exhaust. You will need... 10mm Socket. 12mm...

Arrow fitted today. Took pictures but no time to upload for now as I have to go to work. Will try tomorrow. Quick heads up. Removal of old system difficulty rating 3* (out of 10) Pretty straightforward apart from silencer end which I found it easier to loosen and bend out of the way the brake...

I keep missing 2nd-3rd on the way up which can be alarming if I'm cranked over at the time and on the whole I'd say it's a bit of a clunky box. First service tomorrow so will mention it.

I would have though it was an issue of copyright. If the thing is copyrighted then you couldn't but otherwise fair game. Anyway, all you have to do is change the radius on a curve or similar and it becomes your own design. I very much doubt anyone could copyright a motorcycle screen as it would...

Took my old BSA C11 down to Poole Quay biker night yesterday and happened to park near this strange looking beast. Well Yamaha...698cc my arse The "Flying Millyard" is a five litre V twin made from two Pratt and Whitney aircraft barrels and a completely home made bottom end. and yes... It's...
