Cut yellow film with a cutting machine and apply it—gives it that right look.
Inspection, single seat installation, and silencer repair to change—all requested.
Swapped in a hollow nut and installed a ball joint.
I like to mount the ETC unit vertically.
That’s how it turned out.
About the rattling muffler: it turned out the perforations were damaged, so replacing it was faster and more sensible price-wise. I worked with the limited bent pipes we had to make the layout work somehow.
Is a Daishin aluminum muffler cutting-edge in its own way?
At 2 mm thick, we could go full throttle with confidence.
We aimed to follow the line as closely as possible—keeping it tasteful.
*The light blue arrow shows my instinctive sense of what works—roughly the right line?
Reuse what you can. You can’t make a plate with such a nice structure from scratch.
Stamped it with a die,
cut it with a shear,
welded it and attached it,
using the seat cowl hole as a reference,
drilled a hole at the position we just marked and installed a weld nut. We try to avoid back-side nut fastening since it’s awkward to work on.
The reservoir tank was in the way, so we relocated it. Added a weld nut plus a lock washer to improve workability.
That’s what we ended up with.
The hose diameter differs between the tank side and the master side, so we used a lathe. After finishing, a little cleanup gives you peace of mind and safety.
