Exhaust install FAIL

Found this and thought it was pretty amusing, note the placement of the Yoshimura logo...

I guess they were going for the sleeper look? Agree, logo on the inside looks dumb.

Maybe one is rashed on the outside...so he flipped them, rather than buy a new one.
He's got frame sliders and no pics of the left side.....

If that were the case he couldve removed the little Yosh logos easily, I've done it before. In any event, certainly not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree.

Depends on the rash location. Maybe the plan was to replace one when he got the cash.
$5k is a bit high for an 03, though.
Only has 3k....he doesn't ride enough....perma-cager.

My 01 is about to hit 19k!

Tons of bikes like that on my local craigslist (99' bike with 5k miles). People dont seem to realize that low miles aren't always a good thing. Bikes need to run, let em sit and they'll foul up.

Amen, brother!

If it was stored with a full tank and the carbs drained...might be ok. Still going to require some maintenance.

Not as bad as I expected. When I saw the SV fairing, I assumed it was a 650. I thought some dimwit had installed the can upside down. Wouldn't that look dumb, with the tip pointing up.

Then I scrolled down and realized it was a 1000. Still kind of weird though...I think you can order them without logos.

I noticed that the dude had put lots of flashy logos such as "R-RACING!" and ***** like that all over the bike. Makes you wonder if he found time for any real maintenance during all that hard sticker work...

The logos are riveted on, so if you removed them you are going to have rivet holes, that would like crap ! I think he did it for the cleaner look, he wouldnt be that stupid.

And the "RS" and the little dragon on the fairing don't look like crap?!
