    I have a guy that wants his Vf back to stock ... 100% ... I tried to talk him out of the stock shock thing but he is insisting ... has a Hindle 4 into 1 he is removing and going to stock cans .
    His shock now has collapsed ... told him it will probably happen again but he is adamant
    Thanks Cap

    The exhaust is one thing. The shock is madness.

    I also have the discontinued seals and spacers for "rebuilding" one that I would sell too. Doesn't fix when they freeze, but if the valving is still working, it can be nice to have fresh oil at a proper level. I've done it on one shock before "options" were available.

    The "R" is slightly longer than the "F". Preference?

    Nah. While I like mine, one is enough. Let somebody else that needs an exhaust (any exhaust) get it. I still have other options.

    Part of what we do at my shop is CNC tube bending. I've got a set of Two Bros cans I'd like to do a dual semi-high mount with custom pipes from the collector. Nothing radical, just mounted higher and at a correct angle to flow with the tail section.

    Working on a set of passenger peg deletes in the mean time. Rough cut is done, now the blending and blending and more blending.

    PM me if you want more detailed pics. Decent unit, and I have the seals and collars if he wants to "refurbish" the unit.
