IPOTHESYS -- black chrome plated

Just received the package.
This is the version with a dark surface treatment.

It's actually manufactured by GPR, road legal and comes with a copy of the E3 certification.

This darker version should be a good match to my 2014 GRiSO.

Unfortunately, I'll be travelling the next two weekends so it will take some time until I can see this exhaust on my bike.
I will keep you posted on the progress.

That looks very nice, i like the finish, shame you dont have a black GRiSO to put it on Razz

Here are the first pictures with the installed exhaust.
It's interesting to see the significant difference if the bike is in shade, direct or indirect sunshine.

This is in shade:

It certainly looks the business. The $64 question. How does it go?

Step by step.
Right now I have other priorities.
I want to cover the oil pan with something that fits the oil cooler cover.

And the other $64 question ; how much did that set you back ?

It's stunning Very Happy

Carlotto Posts : 38 Join date : 2017-03-30

Not sure I understand your question ...

Sorry. English-ism. Meaning 'How much did that cost?'
Looks very sharp.

Carlotto Posts : 38 Join date : 2017-03-30

That's what I figured but wasn't sure. See the link in my previous answer.

I bought this 2014 GRiSO for an affordable price a couple of weeks ago. The total cost of the bike, after turning it into something I really like, will be OK for me. As usually, it's a very subjective justification ;-)
I mounted a tail tidy, a rear fender, and replaced the mirrors too. Now I'm shopping for a belly pan. That would be pretty much the outfit.
The last step will be the optimization of the ECU.

Looks great , but that poor old oil cooler is going to cop some crap ......

Are you sure the pipes are fitted correctly? I think they must be installed vice versa, the longer pipe on top and the shorter one below it, so that the ends of both pipes would match?

What does it mean "old oil cooler"? Is there a newer one for the GRiSO?

The two end pipes are identical. They have the same length.
The mid pipe determines the position of these two end pipes.

Got it, thanks. I'm still learning ...

GRiSO Capo Posts : 904 Join date : 2015-05-16 Age : 72

Sorry about the 'Aussie' slang, it just comes out without thinking ......
I must try to remember we are a world group
Have a safe day

Its a gorgeous look, how does she run and sound?

Carlotto Posts : 38 Join date : 2017-03-30

The sound is good! It's the version with installed db killer.

In a week or two I will start to work on the optimization of the ECU map. I will certainly use the ghetto resources for that ;-)
But I also have a local friend here in south San Francisco with a dynojet stand. I may need his help too in order to finalize the adaption. I'm not really interested in maximum horse power. More important to me is a smooth torque curve.
The exhaust has the option to install lambda sensors for each header. Thus a cylinder selective optimization is achievable. I'm sure we will get acceptable results.

I will keep you posted on the progress.

Hello Guys,

Are these exhaust still available ?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10704 Join date : 2013-05-30 Age : 67

I think so? Haven't heard different.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 10198 Join date : 2013-09-30

I really like that black chrome.

cheers
