    Hi,
    I have a 1998 VFR and am wondering if anyone sells a kit that moves the exhaust to the opposite side of the bike. I currently have a high exit with a two brothers pipe that looks and sounds awsome, and shows off the single swing. The only problem is the other side of the bike looks kind of plain. I think a big crome pipe would dress up the other side, and the exposed swing arm side would be shown off even more.

    Any info would be great.

    thanks
    Chris

    No, no one. Only option is to have something custom made. They do have them for the 3rd-4th gens.

    That looks good. I'll bet some NOS would look good as well. Where did you get your trunk.

    Also, did you modify your tail section by cutting it off and mounting the liscence plate higher? That gives me some ideas. I might just have to keep the bike and start saving for a 4 wheeler!

    I bought the bike with the luggage and the license plate mod. The luggage is a GIVI E460 top case with rack and backrest, the side cases are E21(originally dark metallic red and custom painted to match) all on a Givi Wingrack(2?) can't remember. LINK TO GIVI.

    The license plate mod...yeah, I'm pretty sure they just went at the plastic fender with a reciprocating saw and called it good. Works great if you ask me, nice and clean.

    One with the stocker so you can see how flush the fitment under the fender is...

    That looks great with the rear fender mod!
    I'm doing that tonight.

    Have only seen full race pipes on earlier Gens exit on the left but don't do it unless you want to loose your Centre stand as well.

    Great point. I had forgotten reading about the woes of people trying that mod.

    I do like the plate mounting mod. I did something similar to my last bike with no ill affects. Does anyone know why they make those mud gaurds so big? It just does not make any sence...
