well......i do own my own shop and know quite a bit of mechanics here and there - giving an educated guess what you said graphix really makes no sense.

if you didnt want the fluid to heat up why would you put a "jacket" on it? a black one @ that??

>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>anyway -

sorry for the double post guys but my next thing has direct relation to this thread -

I just bought this yosh slip on (RS5) and with whatever integrated tail light that people buy...hangar, tripage mod or whatever, it seem to really crowd the light - either making it kinda unsafe, crowded looking or otherwise - i was thinking of takin the pipe to a speciality exhaust shop and putting a SLIGHT bend in it to bring it away a bit -

what do you guys think? good call/ bad call?

If you can get the brakets to line up or fabricate something for the extra distance from the "bend"... then I don't see it as being bad... just remember that if they accidently bend it too much, it'll look real dumb... and depending on what part you want to bend, you'll be bending your aftermarket downpipe (since the other part has the cat... I don't think you'll bend that). I don't know if that will scratch the finish on it or what.

Oh... and I'll be sending your light as soon as I get back to Oklahoma. Sorry again for the phone dieing on you during our conversation like that. Please hit me back if you have any more questions (I recharged the phone. )

Its more of a ray issue than it is temperature along with spillage. But whatever floats ur boat.

But like I said, most of it is in case of spillage, go put brake fuild on ur bike and see what it does to the paint.[sm=smiley20.gif]

hey i have the same exhaust and wanted to get the same tail light, is the light bright enough to be noticed and safe? cause i had issues with the exhaust blocking the light and being unsafe. thanks

i just dont know - even that setup above doesnt really look that visable - maybe once you get on the bike and the whole thing is lower it looks better
