XVS950BOLT Exhaust Pipe OVER Reuse with Slip-On Silencer on Another Bike!

Currently, it’s set up with a stock exhaust pipe and slip-on silencer.
If we adapt it properly, could we end up with just the exhaust pipe OVER?

Really?
I thought to myself as I got a lecture from the owner and proceeded with the work.

Time passes… and the exhaust pipe swap is complete.

Things like the engine hanger are attached, so I expected it might interfere.
But it didn’t turn out that way. *No modifications needed.

The engine hanger and return spring cleared it with plenty of room.

There was a suspicion that the muffler might hit the foot.

Even when I tried to make it touch, it didn’t, so
we’ll leave the guard off for now.
*If we temporarily attach it, it will leave marks and scratches.

Remove the extended turn signal bracket and return it to stock

I wondered if the extended bracket could be removed from the outside,
so I was working on it bit by bit from the outside,
but halfway through I realized it wasn’t possible, so I removed everything.

Apparently it’s designed that way,
and the wiring inside the rear fender can be disconnected like a sub-harness.

Removing and restoring the rear extended bracket took more time than swapping the muffler.

I also removed the left saddlebag bracket.
One M10 bolt is missing, so we’re sourcing it now.

We’ll install it this week and wrap it up.
