Product:Two Brothers Carbon Fibre Slip-On Exhaust
Purchased: iMotorcycle Store - Home- best prices I found on the net!
Cost: $920.00 CDN incl shipping & taxes
Mod time: 6-7 hours total (due to mod work of FE kit and extensive wiring)
Finally got these bad boys installed and modified this weekend to exactly how I wanted. I ended up modifying the TB (Two Bro's) FE and combining it with my existing FAZAR6 FE kit. This was a personal choice for several reasons:
- FAZAR6 kit is well built, funcional and nice looking
- The TB FE kit is just a chunk of unpainted, stamped steel. Not a lot of thought went into this IMHO considering you're paying $900+ for this kit!!
So, in a nut shell the FAZAR6 FE kit WILL work with TB exhausts....with some minor modifications that I will outline below.
So the process all starts with removing the stock exhaust. Takes about 10 min to get off. Much easier than I would have imagined and man does it weigh a ton!.
The TB cans are loose fitted to the Y pipe and the y pipe installed to the cat pipe. Keep everything loose fitted while you are working.
I then had to spend quite some time figuring out how to mount the FE kit. The TB kit puts the plate at the far back of the bike (not tucked under) near the end of the exhaust. I liked having my FE further down under the bike. But as I stood back and looked at the placment if I kept the stock position of my FAZAR6 FE kit, I noticed that the nice new 'lines' of the exhaust would be messed up.
You can see here in these pictures the two mounting locations I had to choose from. The TB FE is right up under the exhaust tips. The FAZAR6 kit up tucked under farther, but you can see how it dosen't look quite right. The exhaust cans go 'upwards' at a nice angle, but the FAZAR6 FE kit and mounting support almsot go down in the opposite direction.
So I deceided to keep the nicer lines of the bike, that I would go with using the TB FE kit, but would incorporate the FAZAR6 kit into it.
Here is the stock TB FE kit painted matte black (it comes un painted)
In order to monut the FAZAR6 FE kit to it, I removed the turn signal and license plate mounts from each end.
I drilled 2 holes into the top of the FAZAR6 FE kit in oder to bolt the two pieces together. I might have been able to use the existing mounting holes in the FAZAR6 FE, but I wanted to move it as far back as possible on the TB FE piece.
