I had my exhaust tip pointed sideways for a while... changed it to pointing down and prefer the look and the sound.
I thought I liked it set up before, side-dump. But, I do think it looks better now pointing down. Nice.
Just when we get used to looking at it one way ..... you pull the old switch a roo
Troll honestly I like the tip in this position a lot better . Just m.o.p of course .
Ok, so I went out the garage today, and took a long look at the side dump exhaust tip I put on. I don't like it...BUT I like the way it looks on Moosewayne's ride...sssssssssooooooooooo. off comes the muffler and I turn it one hole. I like that, but rather than drill a hole in the chrome pipe tip to secure the thing, I look and drill a hole and tap it 6x1.0 mm in the flange of the muffler, and, low and behold, the top screw hole and spacer line up perfectly with the top inner exhaust pipe...drill, tap, and the tip is now secure. The wall thickness of the flange and the pipe isn't as great as a nut, so the threads might not hold up, but I'll give it a try, and I don't have any extra holes in the tip with no bolts in them...everything is reversible!!!...Nahh, no pictures, it's too easy to do to require pictures! Ok, so I took some. Before I left to beat on the old girl for a 100 miles of Dragon Practice, and after I got home..nothing fell off, or got loose, so I guess it's good! Tomorrow I'm going to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA. 300 miles or so round trip. If it's still on when I get back.....

ok no reason to flip a coin because Troll will just keep turning that tip till he finds the right spot......
Keep us posted on this troll , as I would like to see how it looks facing downwards .
I think I might install it on my spare muffler and experiment with mounting positions.. It only takes about 10 mins to change the whole assembly..

LOL ... think we should flip the coin now to see the tip in a different position what do you say Ratman . Troll has my curiosity attention level peaked now .... LOL
ok re did the flip and heads this time.........
Stole it? I made an offer on it and they accepted it... not my problem!
one 6mm bolt holding it on (no, I don't think so) or drilling more holes. It's kinda a "collector item" so no holes...
Troll I wouldn't recommend using one whole to hold that tip on myself , but I'd say turn it and drill another hole if that's the look you like . After all if you can place the hole on the inside or underneath no one will ever see it any way . For the price you STOLE the tip for , you'll definitely get your money back if you ever decided to sell it .... holes or not
I'm going to keep it as designed, and maybe put it back on eBay as slightly used, and see if I can get someone to take it off my hands...
