Top attachment point is a wire hook welded horizontally, the vertical piece lloks like a C with a hole in top which goes over hook and a hole in bottom which holds ends of 2 springs.

yes, thank you, that looks sensible. I have the C shaped plate just not the hook on the cross member. Perhaps i can fabricate something that can work with the bracket supporting the ECU above otherwise off to the fabricator for a weld on.

If not too much trouble, can you also photograph the mount bracket on the frame for the left side header near the cat ?

Here are a few pictures with wires and DLX dual exhaust. Currently side stand only until i solve for the missing bracket for the center stand return springs. Also, had to trim off the side stand extension which eases putting the stand down when seated, it interfered with the muffler shield. I hope to reweld it to the "foot" of the side stand.

Bike is quieter than with the single sided exhaust with Staintune, probably about the same as with stock right side muffler. When Staintune begins to sell the rumored dual system for 2014 models, i may by the left side muffler to go with the right side i already have. But i don't mind the quieter operation, kind of soothing. We'll see.

Wow, looks awesome! I might have missed it somewhere in the thread, but where did you buy the parts for the '14 exhaust? I've looked at the fiche ProCaliber.com and it appears you'd have to buy about 50 different components...did you just pick up everything on the list?

Proclaiber is the source i used. I reviewed the schematics and placed my order online. Ended up with a few extra parts but nothing major. They held the order until all parts arrived and sent as one shipment.

Tried to get a good pic of the bracket by the cat and it's really up in there. This is the best I could do

Quote:I don't mind the look, but thankful it came with mags. Ditto here. And I see it adding nothing to trade-in or resale value. But hey, it's yours and if you like it that's all that counts.

thanks to the Ferret for the pictures. this forum is a great resource to cb 1100 owners, each pursuing their own tastes with the help and knowledge that is shared.
