Default Waiting on a box.

Not so long ago I shelled out some cash for a new exhaust system (hell of a deal I couldn’t pass up). It’s a full Yosh RS3 stainless system that I knew I’d need for my TLR track project. Now with some time on my hands I’ve been pondering a few other ideas…

Such as? You ask…

The TLS will get the rear section of the new system returning it to its roots as a 2-2. The extended mid-pipes that come with the TLR will give the TLS and even sportier and more aggressive look (or so I imagine).

The TLR will in turn get my existing 2-1 Yosh Ti TRS system. It will match up to the front section of header I will be receiving. My 2-1 started life as a TLR header so I know I can make all these changes since the front header section is the most important when swapping these systems and I’ll have both types (radiator clearance issues).

I figure the 2-1 will be better suited for the track as the risk of screwing the system is cut in half in a mishap. It also sheds some weight from the porky pig of a bike.

Only small issue will be the need to fabricate the needed hangers… But I’ll see what I can do

I’m at work… Bored out of my skull… Thought I’d share some of my lunacy.

Put the new swinger on it and cleaned up a lot of the crud from a few years of use around the engine and sprockets. I also removed the pair system instead of blocking the lines; just need my plates to block the ports on the heads to come in. A GSXR 1k rear caliper has gone on (1/2lb lighter). New switch gear on new woodcraft clip-ons is also done (kill switch). I have a new Graves front fairing support that will work with the stock gauges... Sorted those out too.

Still a long way to go though.

It's been an invaluable tool so far and has seen extensive use over the past couple of years (is that a good thing ).

Pros:
Easy to use
Very stable even when at the highest setting
Folds upright for storage
Built in roller wheels and 4 tie-down points

Cons:
Price
Heavy... Not a very big con though.
Still need my fork and triple stands to do front end work.
Needs a solid middle section to avoid having to do this...
