Slip-On's

[Yamafreak]

Hey all,
So what in the way of slip-On's are people putting on their FJ's? And where are they getting them? I'm in Canada and have a '92
Cheers,

I think the Vance and Hines muff seems to be popular.  I've seen many of them in pics and my '90 came with one when I bought it.  RPM's muffler sounds awesome!!

If you want to buy local Hindle is a good choice.  I lucked out and bought a set of aluminum cans that were being discontinued. I had to get the mid pipes bent up at a shop. Since then I've changed it to a flex pipe. Also fabbed up my own bracketry. Sound beastly without being annoying.

They've been in business for decades. Like most manufacturers they make stuff for later models, but any slip-on for a newer big bore bike should work. The ones for the FJR1300 would prob be ok.

Give them an email. I've found them very helpful. The attached pics show my set up.

I have a 4-1 system on my FJ. For a duel muffler look, I really like the Delkevic Carbon fiber 18" slip ons.

I had considered buying this 91.

You can occasionally find used slip ons.
Yoshimura, Cobra F1r and SuperTrapp mufflers do show up for sale

I had fashioned a 4 into 1 but it was a bit noisey.
I'm now running xjr1200 cans off the standard headers and collector of the fj.
A small bar is used to link the xjr can mounting point to the frame mount but the cans look and sound good.
Cheap too! Especially if you used to own an xjr and had spare cans in the garage.

Those look sic Paul. I'll give them a try. What's got me muddled is badging. Do you have to specify right or left? I want to keep the 4 into 2 configuration.

Thanks for the input everyone. Definitely like the 4 into 2 examples.

So called up Hindle as you suggested. The folks there were awesome and hooked me up with the same can's as yours, sorry for the copycat but your idea to use the flex extensions is great. They should be here midweek. I'll post a pic.

Ok guys, great service from Hindle and Kemp at Ripple Rock Racing for getting these made up and sent to me within a week. As I said, I was going to follow Paul's plan with flex pipe which has worked out great.. I painted the flex black satin with my beloved VHT high heat paint, I'm liking the look... and the very throaty growl!

Looks superb, beautiful bike, love the front end, very clean.

Thanks for the kind words from you Aussie boys. Lived in Brisbane close to Mt. Glorious in Mt. Omaney for 3 years. What roads! Awesome riding there all year round. Loved it! Mt Mee too, I want to get back there.
All recognition for my FJ goes to another member here and FJ guru Pete Slean. I'm just the next custodian of this amazing bike.
Cheers,

The VHT paint was a good idea.  I need to fab up a new set of flex pipes as they have a lot of surface rust on them. Gives it a rat-bike look, but the rest of the bike isn't that ratty... yet.

I noticed you mounted them directly near where the OEM mount was.  I initially did that (in my 1st photo), but then bent up some bracket extensions (2nd photo) to give the pipe more support towards the middle.  Just thought it might keep it from flexing under load/vibration over time.  The cans are light enough it may not matter, but just in case.

I was under the impression Hindle was discontinuing the aluminum cans when I bought them at the bike show several yrs ago. I bought them at 1/2 retail then.  I guess they changed their mind.

The pipes available from RPM are made by Hindle. Nice and light and good quality.

I like the idea of your mounting bracket extensions. I often wonder about the weight behind the bracket on my 84 FJ11.
