Unexpected? Surprisingly deep custom rabbit hole? GSF1200S Harada muffler titanium full exhaust, GSX-R1100 round oil cooler, TMR SD Arti single seat, engine mysteriously won’t start? And so much more.

Getting the fittings wrong? Three times over… Honestly, my heart is breaking.

It’s not unusable, but I really prefer hoses to run straight! Even when bent, a gentle radius feels safer and more secure.
Muffler removal, oil changes, making sure nothing hits if it tips over—the worries never end.



On the left side, I ran the lines drooping straight down. You want to keep them as far from the exhaust pipe as possible.

Coupling it with a banjo-style fitting gives you more flexibility in mounting.

On the right side too, I hung it straight down

The right side layout where I messed up repeatedly. The gap between the frame and exhaust pipe is super tight

I bought 60 degrees, then 30 degrees, then 45-degree vent, then 45-degree forged—and that’s what worked.
You really can’t tell without the actual parts

I’m learning that the hard way.
