Very nice! I love my moriwaki slip on. I bet it sounds phenomenal!

Hey Bazbro, I'd love to help you with fitting yours also - free of charge! Just kindly send 2 First Class airline tickets; arrange for a 5 star hotel; I'd love a sporty little English convertible rental car (like James Bond's)… and if you could, perhaps tea with the Queen? Would it be too much to ask to have cold beer also? (I don't want to be too much of an imposition - but I do now have a world-wide reputation for excellence!)

Very kind of you to get 2 tickets, 1 for me. We'll arrange a meet-up then fly out. I will pass you tools AND hold your beer.

Yup! No probs, with any of that, Amos... In fact Her Majesty says she's quite looking forward to meeting you!
I'll be in touch...

Warning, Amos!! He'll drink that beer of yours... He's not called Boozy Bheezy fer nothing!!

Guys - here's a follow-up post from myself and HOUTMAN.

First pic is the parts kit that came from Samurider for the Moriwaki's. As I mentioned, very well organized, very professional.

Second pic is Houtman's two different bike stands. With the pipes in place, there's a small (maybe 1/2") clearance between the mufflers and the swingarm. Both stands will lift the bike, but if you look closely at the one on the right, the vertical "arms" are longer and very slim (maybe 3/16"), and allow enough clearance that you can position them far enough forward under the swingarm that you can lift the bike AND have enough clearance to remove the axle bolt if you want to remove the wheel. The one on the left wouldn't allow for the bolt to come out. See Houtman's post for the specific part number if interested.

Thanks again Amos for posting these pictures.
Just a few more comments on the 4 into 4 :
When I removed the stock header I was surprised how "loose" some of the inner nuts were , some I could just remove by hand. The torque is 16 ft/lb , checks yours ; you do not want to loose your nuts.....
The Moriwaki 4 into 4 is not loud , just a nice burbling sound , if you look for a louder exhaust a simple slip on is easier and cheaper to install.
Today I took the bike for a 100 mile run on the BRP , it is definitely stronger by about 4-5 hp , the shifting point is different on the mountain roads , feels stronger.
In the past I had an O2 sensor eliminator on the 2013 for a short while but after the 2017 O2 sensor code error I removed it also from my 2013.
However about 200 miles ago I put the O2 sensor eliminator back on the 2013 as I wanted to run the 4 into 4 without the sensor and yes it runs perfect without it !
Is the 4 into 4 worth the close to $2400 ? To me it is but other people might feel it is not. The whole world knows now what I paid except my wife ! Our policy is do not ask , do not tell ! No really she does not care as long as we have no debt and it makes me happy.

Thank you guys. This really looks good.

The lack of a centre stand is only a pain in my own garage. I've fitted one of those "roll onto" wheel supports to my workbench, that supports the 'bike. I'm thinking that if I bolt that to the floor of the garage instead, that would be appropriate. I have zero spare room in my little garage so a stand like Houtman's would probably not work. I gasped in admiration at the space in Houtman's garage - you could hold a barn dance in there! I might be able to have tea-for-two in mine! Fitting the new exhaust is gonna be fun!

Thanks again for such good coverage of this task. It's given me a good insight

Ha ha !!

I remember the huge American cars of the 1950s, in Europe, mainly Belgium (I think they had an import arrangement with USA - whenever you saw one, it had Belgian number plates). SO inappropriate for our roads, where many lanes, particularly here in Devon, are so narrow the hedges brush BOTH sides of the car - a small British car!
