well i got my 900rr pipe installed today. i think i am done for now. i think next year when i have some money again i will take it back off and have it coated but for now i need to make sure im going to like it, dont want to spend lot of money coating it untill i know i like it. all i have to do now is relocate the plate, ride it to see i im going to need a pcIII which im sure i will.
ok here are the goodies, i had an issue with a could exhaust studs soo..
above are my new gaskets and new hardware mated with headers
below is my 919 style bracket welded to the 900rr pipe and mounted up. i think it will still take a phobstand though im not sure.i have race stands so i dont need it too. but i am willing to try if anyone wants to lend one so i can try it out.
Curious... you have a better shot of the mounting bracket you made for the header? I was thinking that the 900rr stock mounting tab lined up correctly withe the center stand mounts on the bike?
yea it was gone when i got the headers but i cut it off a old set of 919 headers tweaked it a little, mounted it all right where it should be, tack welded in a couple of spots, pulled it all back of welded it all up nice, ground off all the ugles, then touched it up with some jb weld (just to smooth it up a bit) then painted that spot low gloss back (hightemp) just to make it look a little nicer.

nope steve... they miss lining up by about 1" or so... close... oh so close...
and 3d... you have a great shop and i thoroughly enjoy your how-to's... you take great pictures and explain everything well... thank you...
The best 900rr exhaust conversion I've seen. . .love that Sato can. I'd like to see someone with aftermarket rearsets and sweep the can at a slightly steeper, sportier angle.
That slim can is a work of art. Wished Sato would've used that smaller size can on their twin-can under seat set up.
thanks for all the comments.
it clears the foor peg by about 7 millimeters ( about 1/8") very close.
i am working on buying rearsets for it though, that will clean it up alot.
today (work closed on mondays) i will be removing the "whailetail" and relocating plate and light else where.
then hopfully my honda wing stencils will be in today so tuesday night i can start painting the bike.
i will have a sound clip posted today. would have last night but left the keys inside the house, didnt have the energy to go get them. i will today though

When I did mine the bracket itself lined up with the centerstand mount, however the holes didn't, so I had to drill a new hole in the bracket, probably about an inch under the existing one.
Any plans of going to rear-sets w/o passenger pegs?
that is my plan, will have to figure out how to hold the clamp for the muffler, or maybe i wont have to use the clamp around the muffler if i use the springs to hold it to the tail pipe. not sure yet, if you have any ideas how to pull it off i am all ears

I'm guessing the springs should be sufficient. The can weighs next to nothing and you already have good underneath secure mounting.
well you all asked for a sound clip so here it is... and you might notice no more "whale tail" i am in the proccess of watching the paint dry on this project, maybe by the time the video loads to photobucket it will be done... damn this thing is ssssssoooooooooo ssssssllllllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwwww. well i will post it in a few minutes
there it is loosend the undertail to allow room to mount it, will try for some good mounting pics later. all i have to do now is reregister it and get a new plate... this one has a big ole hole in it from a plate light
well...you're like on par w/ LDH as far as heros go; since he basically lives inside a road course... and i haven't seen his handi-work yet. but, you do need to work on that back tire! either someone has been spending too long on the slab, or they are trying to draw smilies in the driveway!

damn thats the second remark on that damn tire. i took a trip to texas, it was nice and rounded before i left. those roads down there are so harsh a trip to deals gap could not even fix them. i would say in the next 2-3 weeks i will replace them and then scrub off the chicken strips again then post pictures.
Sorry if this ground was covered at some point. What Sato can is that exactly? Not sure how I missed this thread but I like that can. I assume that is not sold as a 900rr can so what is it?
but i cut it off a old set of 919 headers tweaked it a little, mounted it all right where it should be, tack welded in a couple of spots, pulled it all back of welded it all up nice, ground off all the ugles, then touched it up with some jb weld (just to smooth it up a bit) then painted that spot low gloss back (hightemp) just to make it look a little nicer. 
My 9'er had a low side slide.....She's down but not out......and about to rise from the ashes!
