Default Kick-up exhaust

I have seen some people with upsweept exhausts and I think it looks cool. Is there a special link pipe I can buy or is it just a specific exhaust?

Not talking high level, but a upsweaped exhaust/can (searches net for a pic … but fails )

Don't just look at the pics, mate. It's all there, low level link pipe, mounted the wrong way around

I do wonder if you could buy 2 link pipes from Renegade (for their twin low level systems) and then twist them both round like that to give the look of an SP2.

Certainly be unique!!!

I am considering doing it but not overly sure if the link pipe on the left hand side would twist round so it;d look the same on both sides.

I just turned the link pipe on my scorp and git a semi high level, looked good sort of kwak 6 look. Pretty cool but didn't match the contours of the bike!

So changed it back to normal, which I am happier with.

What you probably haven't notice on Jase22's bike is that the now upswept can is supported by a blueflame high level hanger I sold him the high link and gubbins to turn his art high level but the pipe needs sleeving ( bit tight ) so he put the normal level link on and twisted it to use the high level hanger to get the look.

HTH

Better late than never, here I am!!!

Although, looks like Luke's pretty much covered the basics of how I did it. I'm not sure if you'll get exactly the same effect from other cans. The "low level" link pipe fitted to mine is an ART one, which I think is a bit shorter than some of the others like Scorpion.

The can is also about 2 inch shorter just to let you know.

After using the Blue Flame high level mounting bracket, I also needed a spacer approximately an inch long. Luckily Luke provided me with some aluminium spacers which are designed to space out the rear footpegs when you leave them fitted, basically just some aluminium tube.
