I’d like to work on it about once a week <\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

I’m not so disciplined that I work on my days off.

First, I want to install a Yoshimura Drag Cyclone \u266a

After painting, a split flange!
<\/p>

ZR550 Zephyr550 aluminum machined
exhaust flange T167B <\/strong><\/a>

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the stock flange,
it ends up like this. <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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! \u266a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it looks cool! \u266a

A Drag Cyclone for the Zephyr 750? <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

That’s why it looked so nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With bikes,
10mm or 5 degrees
makes a big
difference in appearance <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
