hey, so i finally ended up buying an HMF slip on in the brushed finish from Rootar (great seller by the way) off of this forum. i ended up with a 160K main, 42 pilot, and i moved the needle jet one notch down from stock. I can finally take advantage of the engine i have now and it rips.

heres some pics.

i thought you would need a full system to notice any improvements? is it decent?

Looks great! I just bought the same exact pipe just a few days ago and gave my White Brothers pipe to my dad... What a great improvement, and you going from stock to that is probably unbelievable.

Seems you had the same problem I had with installation... I couldn't get the bottom bracket to bolt up, and had to leave the pipe half way on for the top one too; but for the gains it was definitely worth it!

Then you should try going for the Full system ...

It was really steep doing this , but Ill tell you something , If you like the Slip on , get rid of the Skinny in front of your nice Zorst .
only downside i could see , was anoticeable difference In the back pressure , or a Loss of it more to the point . That thing has Little or No restriction wjhatsoever . I felt the need for some back pressure , so I re-installed the arrestor .. Not doing much , anyway , as long as I feel better about it ..

I,m running 165 main dyno , with a hotcam . I dont kno what it is about z's , either that , or I'm not building em right , but this damn Bike Only Just manages to pip Z's . Although we do not modify our machines to the full extent that you guys do, I figuered it would be more potent against a Z . Sadly , that darn bike is built as well as they say it is , and the Air-cooled Rex only Just manages to pip it down a straight . Half the time I find the nose lifting , which means there's good power , but she lifts on take off .

Anyways , Hmf is a Great pipe . I got the Ballanse tip , which Looks positively MEAN .

All this trouble , and then my buddy pullls up at the house with a New KFx ............Groan.

Now just don't do like I did and on the first ride break your back rear shock mount; having your airbox crack and your pipe hitting the caliper

mmm, sounds awfully Familiar . Looks like you said Broke your back , until read correctly .

Dislocated my shoulder on march 14th ,First ride out with it . Was EXACTLY 10 Minutes on the Bike . 3 weeks later decided to climb back on - tore the Ligaments in my right knee,twisted my ankle .

I bought an Interceptor to keep me company while I heal .
Al In all though - I've had two of the Hardest spills since I first started riding , both with Full system on . ..... Bloody hell .

So your rear shock mount broke . Damn ... That takes doing . And then the caliper said Good morning to the pipe ...Ouch .

I would get a head pipe. I got a slip on exhuast for my 416 but then I got a full hmf and it runs so much better with the full exhuast

Ouch, seems like I got off easier than you did! I'll get a picture up tomorrow of the damage, I myself was so surprised when I saw what it was; but I had seen the bolt bent in their a long time before and thought nothing of it... Guess I was wrong.

hello all, sorry i havent been responding. i started this thread about an hour before my family and i went camping. thanks for all the compliments and as for going to a full system.. im seriously considering a powerbomb header because i need the sound output to come down a bit. the quiet core should be on its way soon, but i dont know how long it will be for the head pipe as im on a pretty limited income. thanks for the replies.

correct, its so the gas doesnt spill out and eat away at the paint on my frame and engine. i can also reuse the gas because no dirt can get into the bottle now!

definitely a huge improvement over stock lol. and i dunno whats up with the mounts either? it seems pretty solid with just the upper mount connected though so i dont really mind.
