full delkevic exhaust

[outback_imp]

Progress on the full delkevic exhaust install. 2014 standard. I know its old stuff for most you guys but might be some helpful info for guys like me that are new to these bikes. As most of us know the delkevic full exhaust is not a perfect fit. After all the head pipe bolts were torqued down and the collector pipe all mounted and sealed up. The mounting hole on the pipe was 3/4" low and slightly short of the bracket with just a little bit of pressure pushing it up. Just close enough so the bolts and big mounting washer interfered with each other with a short little connector pc, so i drilled a new one below it on the pipe bracket and made a SS bracket to fit with out having to force the heck out of it to line it up and possibly cause leaks. Looks better too. Would have liked it to be tucked up in as far as possible but i guess it is what it is, its not that bad im just picky. lol
Seems like the centerstand stop could have been rotated up for a better fit too. So a little more reading and i found that you can buy a centerstand stop from yoshimura that bolts up to the bike with no mods. So i called yoshimura and ordered one this morning. Pretty happy about that, now i can cut the stop off the pipe and position it so theres not such a big gap between the pipe and the rear foot peg bracket. And not have to keep checking that the centerstand slapping the stop on the pipe hasnt spun it around and the chain isnt rubbing on the stand. Win Win! Also had my buddy weld in the bung for the auto tune, right beside the stock one that comes with it ,puts it at a nice angle up out of the way and plenty of room for the sensor and wires.
