Well you could turn it round and do it that way or just twist the pipe a lil bit. Looks nice anyway. And maybe you like it that way.

EDIT: Looking at it, I think that is fine, it may just be the camera angle, or just me :lol:

I did have a little play with the link pipe, and it would face more upwards but I'd have to make an exhaust hanger myself and remove pillion peggy wegs.

Also, I didn't stubby it myself, I phoned blue flame and asked for it to be 250mm long :)

EDIT: I think the angle just looks funny, it's actually a sloped drive! I just tilted my phone a bit... ^^

I've got a blueflame on mine... Thing is I don't like the exhaust hanger it came with. Where did you get that hanger from and how can I get mine stubbied?

I can't work out what's going on there and I wonder if it's fitted correctly. Where are those two pieces of metal going from the pillion mounts? Is there anything at the end of them?

I'm wondering what the hanger strap is connected to as it looks very loose. Also, the strap still has it's protective vinyl fitted - if you peel that off you should have a nice shiny stainless hanger strap underneath.

If you can put up more pics from different angles we might be able to work out what the problem is.

Also looks like you're in grave danger of melting indicators and number plate aka YC stylee...

Chris birds is a high level innit? I agree though, the OP needs to twist the link pipe so the can is parallel with the angle of the rear sub-frame.

Fookin sweet looking can! I miss the noise of my blue flame.

Yeah it's a high level mount. Sounds awesome.

I've done plenty of miles with it like that and it hasn't melted anything. It's titanium so I can ride for hours and stick my bare hand on that end can without even so much as red mark. In fact I quite like it on the cold days.

Those two pieces of metal from the pillion mount is the exhaust hanger. Imagine an 'F' shaped piece of metal and it is connected to the strap. The strap looks loose because it just doesn't fit nicely but I can assure you it's nice and tight. I'm gonna have another go because the hanger is actually rubbing on the tyre at the moment. I'll stick some pictures up later today and see how i get on.

Can't believe I didn't realise the strap had vinyl on it. Feel like a goon!
