    Actually, I think that the shorter mounting method you have found suits the bikes aesthetics much better, and it will be much more rigid that way too. And so many lovely trains!

      Hi Steven, i just moved the silencer to the back mount after removing that plastic and reversing the bracket, just want to see if change in noise/tone and wether baffle needed or not, but agree tge shorter pipe even if only 4 inch shorter looks better! 😜😁👍

    I like it how your bike isn't a garage princess. I see that so often out here when they buy the bike, and keep it in a garage its entire life and only ride it maybe one or two times a year. It's dirty, there are imperfections in the paint and that all lends it's self to the overall character of the bike.

    In my early days of biking, I remember cutting a tin can into a strip and using it to help clamp the exhaust to the pipe. Scary number of years back!

    Good quality there Bruce.
    Think, it look slightly better in shorter mode. Knowing you, you will try it on the other mount.😊
    My baffle is back in, also. I have seen myself switching engine off, when horses are passing.
    So should notice a wee difference in exhaust sound, on the forthcoming video’s 😊
    Crap…..that’s the bloody rain on.

    Did this 2 days ago, mounted the long way. Used a screw driver and wallpaper scraper and a brillo to get the grey stuff off. running without baffle bike sound really great. The silencer looks as good as it gets.

      Real happy with the deeper exhaust tone now, we rode 130 miles yesterday, today I’m going to try get that plastic off the silencer mount and reverse it to fit it the longer lenght and we will see how that sounds - that will be the Part 2 film 😁👍👍

    Good to see this is just a simple straight swap, Thank you for posting. That plastic just looks like some sort of protection that was on the sheet steel when it was being cut out, doesn't it? What else could it be? I'll look out for it when I get mine, and make sure I get rid of it - somehow! Thanks again mate. Julian.

    • @Coastriderscotland

    Hi Bruce, bike is looking and sounding great. I wondered whether you were going to paint the new pipe black in keeping with the style of the bike. Cheers.. Ian

    • @Coastriderscotland
      @Coastriderscotland  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Ian, i am going to let the pipe dull down naturally by not cleaning it rather than paint it as the paint would probably need constant touching up, but will see how it weathers first! 😁👍

  • @B0M0A0K
    @B0M0A0K 9 месяцев назад +1

    That sounds braw! Interesting to see the new can getting fitted and the decisions you had to make along the way. I would love to do the canyon slip on for my Super Meteor, but am really confused by all the warning about it not being "compliant" with this and that. From what I can tell, you just can't ride your bike in Europe with these fitted and come MOT time I would need to put the original cans back on just to go through the MOT and then out these back on afterwards? Anyways, have to say Bruce, I never had you pegged as a chrome man?

    • @Coastriderscotland
      @Coastriderscotland  9 месяцев назад

      Sadly they do not make the stainless pipe in black, they say because of UK production costs, so o am just going to try dull the pipe down by not cleaning it as exhaust paint will probably not last long, we will see how it weathers,
      I have the stock pipe sitting complete again so can fire it on for the MOT if needed 😁👍👍

    • @rowland5442
      @rowland5442 9 месяцев назад

      I like your alternative “short” mounting method. Just out of interest, do you think if you drilled a second hole in the mounting plate just below the original to raise the end can up by a couple of degrees, there would be enough flexibility in the rest of the joints to tighten everything up without over stressing them?
      Just thinking if I bought the exhaust as well as the cam it would just increase the need for that accessory 350 classic !😂
