Exhaust Mod Write Up

I downloaded a copy of write up quite a few years ago, but yesterday the laptop it was saved on crashed. I'm almost ready to get the FJ1100 back on the road after many years. It's been a long process with carb rebuilds, petcock rebuild, clutch master and slave rebuild and of course battery and tires. One of the last things was to modify the mufflers since I like the appearance of the OEM exhaust, just wanted a little more sound out of it. The bike was my step-dads since new and I got it from him about 10 years ago.

I looked through the technical section and couldn't find the write up, so I'm hoping someone else downloaded it or someone could help my dumbass find it on the site.

Welcome back, it's been awhile....

Due to their restrictive MOT regs, I recall the Aussie guys had a write up on modifying the oem cans,
It's been many years ago. Was it a write up on modifying the XJS cans, used on the FJ?
Unfortunately, I don't think we saved anything in the Mod. Files

Perhaps the Convicts will chime in....

In the meantime, here is a utube on the subject:

Pat, that would be the Poms, they're the ones with the MOT.

Alf, adding pictures is very simple.

Long story short, not right now. Can't go into details at this time but we are working on it.

Thank you, very similar to the mod on my Suzuki GSX600F. But the tube in the Suzuki was welded to the divider plate and I had to cut it off. I used a hole saw to cut the rear plate, I think I'll try it with the Yamaha.

The "Redpath" may be a very good option to pursue - He's in Anaheim and does fantastic work.
