On a dirt bike? I heard the shit will explode if exposed to dirt.
Did you get the skull and cross bones bolts and the live to ride license plate holder yet...

Bike is looking might fine Geek

sorry, no real carbon but looks like it...

btw geek, your bike looks fab even with the "original" cans!

Here's a couple of the Remus carbon fibre on my S when it was new.

Mine came with the cf remus cans.

Original size is here for more detail.
When I wanted a refill because they were getting real loud, we discovered there's kind of a sock inside, to protect the cf from burning through. No refill possible without a Remus package, which they don't provide AFAIK. Then I found out a Bos silencer is the same size, so now they're all stainless.
They guy I turned to for the refill, DAM exhausts, told me his cf silencers are stainless inside, with a cf sleeve.

Cool looking bike you got there.

Later I installed the 2 - 1 so I could add more fuel and removed the baffle from the single can. I also made a slightly thicker rubber ring that goes between the clamp and pipe as the stock one was a bit loose and would start to fall out.

I ride mostly on the dirt and haven't had a problem with the pipe except for a little swelling around the clamp.

I now have the GPR exhaust on the bike.

Here are my ghetto carbons...

Pardon the mess in the Garage...

Geek · 04-23-2011, 08:45 PM

Really interested in these.. I've a Leo X3 on my 610 I've had good luck with (other than snapping my carbon exhaust hanger.. but that was my fault for running a terraflex)

Haven't been able to find a source for them.. leovinceusa's website is a joke

Helios: those look great! Is that a pattern printed on metal or are they actually CF?
What are the safety wires going to your plate?
