Hi From Utah Newb-Chinese Exhaust?
Time to introduce myself after lurking in the background for awhile.....
I am 35 y/old from Utah.
Bought a clean Red 02 with 14k last summer-now has 19k(will post pics) and have been having a blast!!
This is my first street bike....after many years on dirt bikes.
There are some very good canyons to carve all around where I live and I have been progressively improving my skills and was eventually able to get rid of those pesky "chicken Strips" completely.
Only mods I have completed so far..... just put new Michelin PP2ct front and rear(coming off of Conti Attacks) Flushmount LED's Front and Back ,Smoke windshield,8 holes drilled in exhaust baffle
After all of the helpful Info on this site, my to do list:
1 Front Forks
2 Brakes and SS lines
3 Exhaust
and more....as time and $ will allow.
Which brings me to #3
I am ready to put on some lighter, better sounding (without being crazy loud) exhaust and ran across these.........
http://www.dan-moto.com/vtr-1000-f-w...b9cc2b3bd047de
Has anybody put heard of this company?
Seems pretty cheap for a full set of carbon fiber slip ons .......
or is this a case of "You get what you pay for"

It's very possible that you may get considerably less than what you pay for,
considering the source.
Just my $.02

Yeah I think from the pics, the quality of these are definitely far below a name brand exhaust. If I knew what sound they created, and knew I could get several years out of them I, would give these a try........but I am afraid these will just blow apart in time.
If others have had issues with rivets bursting on good quality cf pipes ,I doubt these will hold,but could be wrong.
I think I will keep my eye open for a good bargain on some Yosh or Jardines etc.
Slo1.... Thanks for the hook up on setting up my suspension.I will give Jason a call.
My forks are in dire need of upgrading.
As far as Miller....I just missed out on APEX's last track day last year.
Do you take your hawk or another track bike?
