“One-of-a-kind enjoyment with muffler reuse” – Zephyr 550 with Zephyr X for that extra something special ♪

I’d like to work on it about once a week

I’m not so disciplined that I work on my days off.
Working on business days = the joy of being self-employed

First, I want to install a Yoshimura Drag Cyclone ♪


After painting, a split flange!

ZR550 Zephyr550 aluminum machined
exhaust flange T167B


After using patrol to search…
I found something with good thick walls
on Yahoo Auctions.

It delivers more than adequate performance.
The quality and feel are no problem at all.

With the stock flange,
it ends up like this.

I did it very carefully, but…
the stock flange is too thick,
so inevitably
it goes “gigi gigi gigi…”
Well, it’s fine anyway.

When ordering a new one,
make sure to tell them you need a “split flange.”

Installing the exhaust pipe becomes super easy! ♪

Rare
outside duplex

Yeah, it looks cool! ♪

A Drag Cyclone for the Zephyr 750?

I want to reuse this and install it
The paint was spray cans again…

That’s why it looked so nice.

With bikes,
10mm or 5 degrees
makes a big
difference in appearance

It’s mostly subjective so I can’t say for sure,
but around 10mm or 5 degrees up or down
completely changes how a bike looks.

I can’t aim for something that precise,
but I’ll temporarily fix it
and “view it from various angles”

This is important…
I want to position it so I think, “Yeah, my bike looks awesome!”


For those unsatisfied with off-the-shelf products,
the time spent thinking about it
and the lingering satisfaction after completion are also enjoyable.
