This Akrapovic muffler is for a Yamaha XJR 1300 RP19, not sold in the US, weld work required!!! Big advantage is the exchangeable db-eater with 3 screws. As this bike was discontinued in 2016 the muffler becomes rare with the time.

Sounds very nice.
To my ear has a tone somewhat similar to stock.

Welcome to the site.
Feel free to start a thread with some info about your build.

Do you have any pictures of work on weld etc. muffler itself is pricy but sounds gorgeous

If you have a closer look on the video you will see that the muffler is only provisionally mounted for a sound check.
Yes, the muffler is pricy due to the catalyst and it has a titanium hull. The catalyst section is cut away in my case.
The silencer is absorbtion type, that means you can look through.

Guess I wouldn't be THAT in love with the silencer. There are a million other choices out there that would do just fine. But that's just me. Carry on!

Price put me off :) . When I get to mine I will look for options .

Would you mind sharing more info on your build please? I'm mainly interested in the swing arm and fork details

Thanks

Swing arm is a Yamaha XJR 1300 RP19 (-2016) and the fork is a Kayaba from a ZZR 1400 (2007).

Very nice custom!
What is your goal as far as the final aesthetics are concerned, Street Fighter, Modern Vintage, something else?

Would you consider a modern megaphone with vintage looks, or are you dead set on a modern style can/muffler?

My last project was a Yamaha XJR 1300 and I remembered when I was 14 there was a CBX prolink in a magazine... what a sporty amazing bike.
Today I´m only interested in the engine and the frame, giving it the look of the XJR with modern chassis and electrical components.
