Hey team
So I received my fender eliminator kit in the mail from Tuff Side. Starting to make some cool stuff for the Street and Street-Rod, they reupholster seats too so I think I'll reach out and give them some business this winter when I get the seat redone for long jaunts.
Install was simple. 8 bolts total and some snipping of zip ties. Other then that it took me 15 minutes to get into the bike. FYI the rear fender is all steel! Cool BUT heavy...
Anyway pics:


i also have a new video on my YouTube channel:

Let me know your thoughts!

Best,

 

Yesss!!! Finally!!! Ordered...

 

What exhaust pipe is that ?

 

Standard D&D slip on. A buddy of mine gave me it for CHEAP($20). Off a R6 so it's in the same ball park flow wise. Much lighter vs the stock unit, which is a given it's a D&D, half the reason you run exhausts on sport bikes is to drop the weight.

I like the sound of the sport bike can, since the stock exhaust is total crap (small head pipes and a catylist the size of a foot ball under the right peg) I won't be dropping any kind of big coin on a "slip on muffler"... Hope they make a complete after market system soon that gives the rider the ability to customize the peg position. Also if it had proper diameter head pipes and a high flow cat I bet there is 10-15hp to be had... Probably drop 5-10lbs over a stock setup with the exhaust covers...

I've been asked twice since the fender chop and muffler... Is that a new Ducati???

 

Had a Bassani on mine it did not last long sounded like **** and way to loud. That one looks interesting. I have check the system head and all V&H makes for the flat tracker is not on the market only racers can get it.
Down the road I may be looking at getting my XG750 up to at least the HP of a Street Rod. The Street is a extra play thing .

 

Interesting. So R6 mufflers will fit generally? I assume you had to make some mounting hardware?

 

My XG-750A was supposed to be my every other day bike... Now with nearly 8K on the clock it's slowly becoming my primary. HAHA

 

You do need to fabricate a bracket to install the can to the stock mount. These pipes are designed to mount on anything, the mid pipe is really what is custom on a sport bike slip-on system. Pretty easy mount job. Most guys (that talk to me anyway) think it's awesome I have a sport bike can on my XG. Secretly hoping for a light and good flowing aftermarket system cause the stock system is no way helping the power generation of a slip on.

I have a 3K mile trip planned coming up at the tail end of August and I will run the stock muffler, just in case Warranty issue #3 pops up thousands of miles from home...

 

They way exhaust pipe mounts on a XG750 you could make about any pipe of that type fit with out to much work.
While someday mine may go in a Flat Track style for now it is going Urban. Granddaughter will likely ride it.
I like the rear fender eliminator but it would not work with the bags on it right now
Solo seat is next.
Few people I know saw me riding the Street and gave me that WT heck look. It shocked them. This week I have to get the Fatboy side car cleaned up 9 year old grand daughter has a parade to ride in.
