Graves full system exhaust mount

[mxracer87]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking into an exhaust system for my new FZ1, and like the style of the Graves full system, but don't have $1,400 to throw down right now.

My idea to get the same/similar look was to use a shortened canister and slip tube attached to the factory collector, but I don't know how to mount it yet.

Does anyone know how the strap mounts to the bike that holds the canister on the Graves full system. From the picture it is somewhere near the rearset, but after looking at my bike I can't figure out what they bolted it to...

That bike is heavily modified so it's hard to say if there is a custom bracket behind the rearset.

I found some pics that may offer you a little more detail:

To me it looks line it's using one of the bolts that holds the rear master cylinder to the rear set.

Thanks for the photo. That is a way better close up than I was able to find

Here you go! Found these on the FZ1OA forum. Looks like it uses a separate bracket to attach the clamp to.

Perfect, looks like the bracket bolts to where the center stand used to be. Shouldn't be to hard to fabricate.

Thank You.

I love that full system! I did not, however, realize that you'd loose the center stand when adding it. Hmmmmmm..... Still the best looking full on the market though!

Yea, since part of the muffler sits under the bike there's no way to keep the center stand.

I'm with ya.... I almost always use the center stand exclusively so I don't know how I'd live without it. It's moot for me though because there's no way I'm paying $1400 for an exhaust system on a bike I'm not racing. The re-pack kit for a Two Bros is quite attractive at $25.00. :tup:

+1. Park my bike on the center stand every night, and use it ALL the time.

Love the Graves, but not for me. Nor is the price LOL.

So you can kind of see the exhaust I just installed in this photo. I haven't got that many photo's yet... Been to busy riding it!

I just used a two brothers R-6 canister and had a welding shop weld the factory flange to the R-6 mid pipe.

Please some close-up photos, i have been looking at doing something similar but using a GTYR R6 exhaust and fabricating a mide pipe. I have seen a FZ8 with this setup and it looks fairly straight forward.

I'm with you Eric my centerstand stays!!seems pointless to take it off then buy stands to do the same thing

 

[rlhotka]

Any info on if a R6 can will work or not like say the GTYR one?

I altered my Mivv & fabricated a bracket.
