Stock Roadster Pipes

[1olbull]

Maybe, but I think your footrests will touch down first.
The front part of the muffler is the lowest point so anything rearward of that will not be any lower so cornering clearance should be fine.
Any Touring Riders care to comment here ?
The problem will be that when you rotate the R/H Muffler lower, the heat shield/cover is not going line up properly, I guess this could be modified to suit tho'
The L/H side will be fine as the cover there will rotate with the muffler.

Just FYI for reference -
With my CES header and muffler, I had to do some cutting and welding to tuck the can inward closer to the rear axle for additional clearance.
Not a biggie.

Hello everyone, I have been looking around on the forum for a few weeks now and I need some help, please. I love my new Rocket but one thing aesthetically I would like to change. I like the leveled look of the pipes on the Touring Rocket. I would like to level out my stock pipes to have the same look as the touring. Has anyone done this to their Rocket or is this even possible and if so how was it done. Any help is much appreciated.

I'm curious how this turns out looks wise. I too was not crazy about the size or shape of the stock cans on the roadster but have grown used to it now. I thought it might look a little better proportioned with the touring pipes? I ended up with Paul's header and crossover and de-cated the stock pipes. I can definitely attest to the fit, finish and performance increase from Paul's work. Really cool bottom end grunt!

Make sure you post pic's if you follow through with this idea!

Someone should start making the Jardine mufflers again, ditch the Jardine header and replace with something better and you may have a good seller????
I have done this and gained an extra 8hp over the 223hp I had before this change.

I am thinking, will leveling the pipes decrease the angle the bike can lean into a corner without dragging.

OH are you dragging the pipes ?

I Never scraped this

WOW couldnt you find a LARGER CAN ?

The only Roadsters I have seen drag the TORS OEM cans drug them up front where the heat shield hit the front of the cans and scraped the cans up front. One being Ogre.

Mittsy, thanks for the reply, I know once I start mods I will fall into the black hole.. I was hoping I could find someone that maybe had found a way to roll down or lower the stock pipes somehow. It might be that I let the stockers grow on me or start the mods. Hahaha, Thanks again

I'm working on this.
Both as a "slip on" to the stock header, and of coarse onto my own free flow header.
The length of the muffler can be varied to suit Customers tastes.

Cooter, I use this all the time, I couldn't live with out it.
Every system built is checked on this critter before it goes out for coating.
