I would think that there should be some rubber involved in mounting these aftermarket exhaust systems. Maybe where the spacers are being installed would be be a good place for a rubber mount to ease the stress off the engine and frame.

That's the same problem that my friend had with his Two Bros. exhaust! Just wait until all these mufflers and aftermarket parts start being made in China - you think you got problems now...

No rubber dude - they just need to be taking their Prozac more often. Or, more likely, they all flunked out of shop class and should stick with home economics instead - Ouch! Did I say that?! Must be the heat.

Actually, I'm re-thinking the whole rubber thing and it may be too hot and cause fire. But I know that car exhaust is all "floating" on rubber hangers to avoid vibration and stress on the engine. Maybe some of the vibration problems in other posts are being caused by this very thing. Perhaps a spring loaded system is in order.

I just hit 700 and I'm lovin it. I can't wait to push it up near redline. I hit about 7k pulling away from some moron wanting to go 20 over the limit & ride my a$$ and I can really feel how sweet it's gonna be. I'm only about 150 Lbs and 5' 7" when wearing shoes. Luckily, I have freakishly long legs and can almost flatfoot with all the stock settings. I don't really have the need for Mods but I will get the bug soon I'm sure. Just that money's real tight and almost got divorced over just getting the KLX.

Yep, I don't even want to see my next Kawasaki credit card bill! My girlfriend, Beth freaked when I got another bike - basically she knew I'd be spending more time riding and not taking her rock climbing or out to expensive restaurants every weekend. She makes three times more change than I do and expects me to pay for everything - where do I find these women? I need to downsize, so which should go - the bike or Beth?

That's kinda like asking how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop. The world may never know. I think it's only fair to have several girlfriends and several motorcycles and some cars and bass guitars and amps and big screen tv's and atv's and............Man I am in deep trouble. time to tear up the credit cards.

Yeah, my girlfriend's brother is an exec for Fender Guitar here in Scottsdale - Looks like I won't be getting anymore concert tickets with backstage passes.
