just had a chat with "motorworks" about fitting a straight through silencer and individual pod air filter's, they say it wont effect the ecu, ie the running of the bike, mixture etc, any thought's on that,??
bought a 1100gs, have a few question's,?
- Thread starter GARAGE HERMIT X2
- Start date
Here's my 1100 with a homemade under swingarm exhaust.its not straight through but sounds nice,doesn't seem to effect fueling and tidys up the rear end.well I think so ,others may not
That's very neat, what did you use?

look's neat & tidy, a lot less weight & a better sound,

made a start on the exhaust system, found a bit of old straight ex/pipe in the garage just the right diameter, but had to pie-cut it to get the right bend on it, i've just tacked it with my stick-set as my tig set blew up a few year's ago, so my brother will have to tig weld it for me, stuck the cherrybomb on, i'll have to knock up a bracket to support it off the bottom shock mount, about a 10th of the weight of the standard system, and i'm sure it'll sound nice,
Bottom Shock Mount!
Why the feck would you want a bracket to support it from the bottom shock mount
- it moves up and down a tad FFS
- unless your planning to replace the rear shock with a rigid fabrication while your at it
This bike is doomed

Hence the reason I've mounted mine off the left hand footrest hanger.Why the feck would you want a bracket to support it from the bottom shock mount

I'd noticed that - yours is not the one I'm worried about

oooop's,
Looking good though fella,
...you can't beat a bit of tinkering.be interesting to hear what it sounds like once hooked up..
...you can't beat a bit of tinkering.be interesting to hear what it sounds like once hooked up..I would replace the sump guard. I flicked something fairly large and metallic up while on a ride and took a huge hit underneath the bike. When I checked there was a significant dent in the sump guard. I dread to think what might have happened to the engine casings without it. I've also put a louder rebus exhaust onto mine. It has made a slight difference to my safety in that more car drivers hear me coming and so fewer cut me up. I'm a city rider though, so if you are a rural rider, this might not be so important.

Second dibs please.

started thining the wiring down, about half of the original loom's gone, i cut down the original relay/fuse box and mounted it where the abs unit used to sit,
this is what i've taken off, there's still a bit more to cut off though,
chopped off the rear part of the seat frame rail's ready for the single seat conversion,

bought some alloy wheel's and some pirelli phantom's, have'nt seen them for about 20 year's, seem's they've re-introduced them as standard fitment on ducati's,
When you've been here a bit longer it'll click that its good karma when someone asks for first refusal to do a deal

yes, it would only be polite to offer them to the first person to ask for them, so i've subscribed, and sent him a pm,
