Thumbs up

Two Brothers M5 highmount installed (pics/video)


Not sure if this belongs in General or not, but it's kind of parts related so I figured I'd stick it here.

My exhaust came in today, and I managed to beat the rain and get it installed about 5 minutes before it started drizzling on my head. Total install time took about an hour, keeping in mind that I've never done this before (not that it's tough). If anyone notices any bolts/hardware out of place or something that's blatanly noobed up in my install, please let me know.

I disconnected the battery after the install, let it sit for a few and started it up and it doesn't smell lean/rich at all. My P&S's camera does a decent job of capturing the sound but it brightens it up a little bit - the actual note is a bit deeper and bassier than this video makes it seem.

Pardon the wires hanging out from my undertail - I'm waiting on a fender elminator and Clear Alternatives kit to show up and this seemed as good a time as any to dispatch of the old bracket.

I was told by the sales guy that this would retain the passenger pegs, but as you can see this is not the case. Is there any addon bracket/hanger that I can get to add the right rear peg back to this side? I rarely take passengers but it would be nice to have the option.

Pipe looks great, but.... what the fuck did you do to your gixxer?!?!?!

seriously though, the salesman is a cocknozzle, it doesn't look like there's any way to get a passenger peg on there w/o switching to a low-mount.

I sold it to someone on here for ~$2000. I loved that bike to death, but it had all sorts of electrical issues. I forget who actually bought it, but it went to a good home.



I do NOT miss all the squidly shit I used to do on it w/o any proper gear though. Looking back at some of my pics gives me chills thinking about road rash.

have you checked with 2Bros for the passenger adapters? I would be surprised if they didnt have them. You can always just fab some spacers...

Usually exhausts like that have spacers and mount the can where it is, but move the passenger peg to the outside of the can with the spacers and so on. Sure the high mount will retain the pegs, but he forgot to tell you what else you needed to do so.
