Ordered an exhaust off his site and found his description to be poorly written.



"When Mounted the ends of the headpipes are approx. 5" past the back edge of the engine Clutch(RH) Cover."

I assumed that both sides came out the right side.....
It is correct though..... the exhaust does come back 5" past the clutch cover..... and it also comes 5" past the countershaft cover on the LEFT side!!!!

Tried e-mailing, looks like I am getting ignored.
No phone number listed anywhere (go figure).

That's what I get for buying on the internet.

Next time I buy a bunch of stuff, I'll be sure the person is in hand shaking distance.

The reason mikes mention the right hand side madmaxx is some mufflers wont mount unless the header pipes are slightly longer, i can see why you would think it was a 2 into 1 system but afraid not mate. Think your gonna have to keep emailing him n maybe do a deal on a new set. cheers tweedy

If you get stuck with 'em, lemme know. I'm switching from 2 Dunstalls on the right to one Supertrapp on each side, and some head-pipes would be purty. How mucho?

The left side has a couple of small scratches from me trying to get it to kick out on the right side (before I figured out it was supposed to be on the left side). They are small scratches under the footpeg, so they really won't be seen.

If I could lose only $30 on them, that would be nice.
$120 shipped.

I'm out, maxx. The "Current Financial Downturn" means I'm using the barbecue black on my spare set of head-pipes. Sorry for the delays.

I have never had a problem really with anything i ordered. but i will say, anytime i have emailed a question about a part, i get an email back that seems filled with lets just say for lack of better words. "a lack of enthusiasim" on his part. seems like he is annoyed with the questions. i always say to myself after reading it. "#@$% that guy" but he does have a great site for these bikes.

Yup. He thinks he has a corner market, and if you don't like his product, he'll sell it to the next guy.
He doesn't care.
