Garventure Posted May 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2011 Hi all I'm just new to the site and have just posted an introduction. I am from Ireland and I drive a Royal Star Venture 2001 1300TF and LOVE it! There are not many here so parts are hard to come by. I am currently looking for a new full exhaust system, not slip ons. My pipes underneath are corroding and although there is only 35,000km on the clock, I would like to keep the bike alot longer. I was quoted by Yamaha Europe for a brand new set of OEM pipes at 2,800dollars. It's crazy money, can anyone recommend a full exhaust system for my model that they know will definitely fit. I really can't afford $2,800 (€2,000) but I don't want to lose the bike. The bike is running great other than a rattling exhaust..Please help! thanks for the time.

V7Goose Posted May 21, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2011 Welcome to the site! Unfortunately, I don't know if there is going to be a ready-made solution for you; I have never heard of someone needing to replace the whole exhaust system on one of these bikes. But if there is one available, somebody here will know about it. Although I have not personally looked close a the exhaust system with an eye to replacement, I would not expect it to be very hard. The good thing is that the pipes are not typical chromed motorcycle pipes - the only chrome is the heat shields. I expect any muffler shop could easily fabricate new pipes and weld them to the pieces that connect directly to the heads. The existing chrome heat shields could either be welded to the new pipes, or probably clamped on pretty easily with hose clamps on the mounting tabs after they have had little feet added to them.

buckethead Posted May 21, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 21, 2011 They are great sounding pipes! But you still need the slip-on mufflers with them. I have the BUB sleeper slip-ons on my 2006 RSTD and they sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garventure Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted May 21, 2011 Okay, I just got a reply back from Westend Motorsports and he said the 4 into 2 Bub system is "That is a complete exhaust system, including headers, mufflers, and any hardware needed for mounting" Can I take from this that if I buy these pipes at $895 that the bike will be road ready? Sorry for the dumbass questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked this out thanks, I took a look at the video before disassembly and it looks like shes been crashed..okay for 189 I shouldnt complain but the exhaust sounds really 'barky' if you get me...

Guest Posted May 21, 2011 Share #9 Posted May 21, 2011 You have to check them out on Ebay. Pinwall has several sets online there for about the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW47 Posted May 21, 2011 Share #10 Posted May 21, 2011 The BUB's are great pipes, you gas milage might go up to. The pipes won't turn blue. tew47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
