I think its time I show my 1990 cbr1000f to this forum. I found this motorcycle on Craigslist, it was a baby blue with white rain drops painted on it. It also had an extended swingarm and was in a terrible state of repair.

I purchased it for $800 with 22k miles on the clock. I stripped it down to the frame and engine, and rebuilt everything. All of the fairings were toast, they were held together with wood screws and bathroom caulking. I decided naked bike was the way to go.

I had a nice Vance & Hines SSR2 exhaust, until someone did an illegal U-turn and I hit the front fender crushing and ripping off the exhaust and passenger peg and as we all know the cost of exhausts for these bikes is high. I decided that I would use a glasspack meant for a car, as a majority of aftermarket motorcycle exhausts are glasspacks.

 

The exhaust actually looks quite cool, glad to see you're caring for this old lady.

 

Nice adaptation of the Glasspack, I have often wondered who'd be the first here to
try it out ....Looks Good

I had thought about the Cherry Bomb brand a few times

 

I too looked at the Cherry bomb brand, they were too long to work with the existing mid-pipe I had. The headers are the early Vance & Hines, its a true 4-1 not the later 4-2-1. The PO was nice enough to remove the middle stand and some brackets to get it to work... *sigh*.
The only issue I see is the fact it is way too loud to pass any inspection. Fortunately, my state doesn't inspect vehicles in anyway, and compared to some of the fart-can cars around here I am quite quiet!

 

LOL

used to be that way around here until last year - so now I have to get
creative with a set of these with the retaining screw turned against the
inside of the tip to hold it in place ( no holes in the tip ) looks integral
to the pipes to the inspector

 

That is quite sneaky! I would love to have a quieter exhaust, but I can't bring myself to spend the money on such an old motorcycle, Although, I did splurge recently and bought myself the full braided steel line kit from HEL. I got the double race line for the front, rear line and the clutch line. The brake feel is unreal now, also the clutch almost has the feel of a cable clutch, definitely removed the vagueness of a hydraulic clutch.

 

looks good, glad you are looking after the old gal

 

Do you have a part number or model for that glasspack?

 

I don't remember the exact part number but: http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...word=glasspack

They are the ones I purchased it from. The longer they are the better they muffle, but they do wheigh more and can be difficult to fit.
