New sidewinder position xjr.

[Justarn]

Following my other post I've fitted some z1000 used Campbell sidewinders to my xjr. Other than worrying they are close to the shocks and maybe chucking heat on them I've realised I can't actually get the balls of my feet on the pegs properly as they hit the pipes, not ideal....

This is how they sit ATM.

[Justarn]

If I drop them 10 degrees with my cowboy garage working out they should be here...

[Justarn]

Or I could cut the collector back and have em here...

What you all think...

[skyrider]

they look better in the second photo but would they lower anymore

[Bender]

I prefer first pic, can you not modify your feet

[Justarn]

I've ordered a 15 degree bend so will sit about there, 10 degrees lower but I want to pull the collector up the other 5 degrees. I like the first position to so I am contemplating loping my heels off haha:-)

Might just get my rear sets back too if I want to use em ever.

I personally wouldn't want em any lower...

Purely from an aesthetic point of view I would choose the arrangement in the third picture where the exhausts are not in front of the shocks when viewed from the side.

Good man, no compromise

I really meant the angle of the pipes not quite as upswept but looking at the photos again that's how they are meant to be

I do like the side view there but looks a little odd from the rear I think...

If you like original position can you extend pipe and move them back an inch (or two depending how big your feet are)?

[Justarn]

That's actually a good shout, never even thought of that lol. I may get some straight slotted pipe then I can have em either way depending on my needs...

[TimR]

btw have you removed the rear pegs recently for the exhaust ?

You may fail mot without pegs if you still have the rear seat available.

[Justarn]

Doesn't really look like a rear seat tbf, my friendly red devil mot'er will be fine;-)

[Justarn]

Done, same angle but just enough room for heels...

Happy chappy here:-)

[Bender]

Looks good, need a video with sound now though

[fastbob]

Yep, that works the cans follow the line of the sub frame .

Sounds a bit AMG v8

[Bender]

I want one lol

Sounds great.

[Justarn]

Thanks pal, buy one we can start a gang haha.

Xjr sound different to other bikes with sidewinders.

Gsx1400 sound similar, definitely stood out from the other bikes at the meets even with modded stock cans, sounds epic now...
