For half again the price of that slip-on, i can buy a titanium full system from K-factory for my RC. It definitely doesn't seem worth what is being asked. And someone mentioned waiting up to a year? I get pissed waiting a week for parts, a year is absolutely unacceptable

I'd gladly spend the 500 on a pipe. But, waiting over a year? Fuck that.. Teach somebody how to weld all your parts together, and get some help in the shop. You might lose a few dollars of profit from each pipe, but there's obviously a demand, so the volume of sales will make up for it. |

Oh, and just an FYI. The exhaust actuator failed open on my bike. It lost a bit of low end, but pulled like a champ through the rest of the revs. The only reason I got it fixed is because it was making me deaf.
I'm tempted just to gut one and make my own. I'll be out 100bucks for a stock pipe..

I don't care how good the pipe is. Waiting over 6 months for a pipe is unacceptable. I don't care if it's made out of unobtainium and welded together with the souls of virgins, I'm not buying it. No matter who you are, your slip-on is not worth a thousand dollars and 6 months.
