Help I am missing a acorn nut that holds my exhaust on. The one that is miss is the one at the rear that holds the stock muffler to the frame. If anyone has one please let me know. Thanks

This is not BullShit.. I got mine and could not believe the quality heavy gauge and best of all a removable Baffle! I couldn't believe the price when everybody else wants nearly double. http://www.ebay.com/itm/301121639342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I have nothing at...

Anybody out there purchased stock exhaust from Mikes? How is the quality and look,same as original. Thanks, txgary

Thinking about going with these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/400421952365?lpid=82 on my 77D' using the stock headpipes. From what I've read I know the packing is trash and will have to be redone, and they are kinda loud even then but I think I'm OK with that. Do any of you have experience...

Search-Fu returns nothing... I've wrapped individual pipes before but not a 2-1 header. Any idea how much wrap it will take? This is for an XS400, so it may be slightly less than a 650 header. Also, as I head over to YouTube to search for videos, any hints on making the connection where...

White smoke comes at a steady rate after each pop while holding a steady high RPM in with no load. It also comes when revs drop from revving up. Slight smoke coming out of the right side head connection to the pipe. I also noticed that the right exhaust is cooler then the left side exhaust, gas...

I have a set of Pandemonium Ya Mama high side pipes for my build. I know these are going to be as loud as pipes get... I'm going to try to tame them a little bit to not scare the neighborhood into coming after me with pitchforks and torches. I picked up a set of 8" baffles for 1.5" pipes. I plan...

I have an 81 XS650 Special. I've purchased Replacement Head Pipes and Megaphone mufflers from MikesXS. We're having trouble getting them to fit correctly. The right side headers and mufflers hug the bike so close that the brake lever hits the header and the muffler hits the swingarm. Should...

Hey All, About to try and order an exhaust from Scott, but really can't decide between the 2 into 1 and the cafe pipes! Really like the look of the 2-1 but I've had a few discussions with MMM and others about 2-2 really being best performance in my normal riding range. (I understand it...

hey guys .. i am rebuilding my old 77 xs650.. i have a 2in1 exhaust and oem airboxes and filters. i would like to know if i should make the exhaust a freeflowing one or install a baffler in it.. thanks...

I'm about to get my exhausts, and I need to install them. Do these copper rings need to stay in or do they have to come out? I have some new gasket rings(don'tknow what they are called!), but do they go over these copper rings, or do the copper rings get replaced by the new ones...

we make our version of the original pipes in stainless steel these have sold well is there any interest in stainless steel silencers? anyone up for lowning us a bike here in the west midlands so we can finalise the design if there is? Ian McDonald Motad

i have been searching till my eyes hurt. maybe you guys can help me out do you guys know what yoshimura exhaust can this may be i would like to use something like this to help set my bike off thanks http://www.motohangar.com/mhJsr500.html

Finally got around to putting on the exhaust Scott made for me last fall. It sounds great and looks even better! We exchanged numerous emails to ensure the that unit was the right length and was laid out the way I wanted and he nailed it. the 2-1 sounds fantastic and gives the bike a much...

I am going to build a 2 to 1 scrambler exhaust for my '80. The engine and ignition is stock and I am running pod filters with 1 size up pilot and 2 size up main jets. I am planning on 1.5" for the headers but what size collector/muffler would everyone recommend?

Can anyone tell me if the exhaust port depth is different on a 73 Tx650 or all 650's for that matter? I was fitting my headers tonight and there was about 1/4 inch gap on the left port while the right was almost snug to the head. Thought i was losing it so i measured them. Left is around 11/16...

...on my 71 xs1? Just want to plug and play no carb adjust..

Hi guys. I'm going to clean up the header pipes on my 78SE. They're very tatty and have deep pitted rust. I may end up painting them black or covering with wrap but gonna try and see if I can get a nice satin metal finish first. I've just experimented in my shed with various drill bit...

I purchased a TX500A about 3 months ago. I notice some blueing of the exhaust pipe in an unusual area. It not quite blue, but it's heading that way, with the usual mottled straw colouring. The strange area where this has happened or is still happening is ahead of the LHS muffler clamp...
