i have just finished this for a customer. pipe sizes are to their spec.
pipework is 0.7mm inconel and the bends cost me a fortune, each bend is rolled from sheet, seam welded then bent, same material as f1 car headers
the whole thing weighs 11.5 lbs most of which is packing material.
bear in mind i have one garage 10ftx 5ft with two bikes in where i assembled it all, then have to go down the garden to my 15ftx8ft shed to weld it all up, plus taking my own bike apart to mock it all up on

Is that for an 1125 or an 1190?

Front header would not work with the 1190 radiator setup.

Looks really nice. I take it the owner isn't a Badwebber? (if not, send him our way so he can show off that exhaust)

Sweet! I have the KEDA RT2 (which I absolutely love) but I would say that based off the look of these pics, KEDA has some competition. Nice looking work!

Do you have any picture of reverso on 1125cr, and what is the price for it. Any gains with that exhaust?
Thanks

I didn't want to open a new treat, so I'm posting here, since the exhaust is Albert's work. IT's not installed yet on my bike, since I'm probably buying it in january or february. So anyway, here is what my CR would look like...





- I already have XB tail
- I already have hypercharger on airbox
- I already have XB chin spoiler (I'm looking new one to put it on my XB :-) )
- I just need some new mirrors and exhaust

Does anybody have some experience with that reverso exhaust?

is that hypercharger gonna help or hurt your performance?
it looks cool, but the airbox is designed to work with teh snorkel and ram air.
just saying ... YMMV

how are you gonna mount the XB chin?
i kinda like it ....

looks like you've got your work cut out for the winter. be sure to start a build-thread and post up lots of pics!

i have the Alberts reverso on my bike, and he will be making some larger headers over the winter break for me.
