Hi. Here's a pic of the new LadyBird exhaust hangers. They were $160 + shipping ($20 to Cali). Please PM me for seller's contact info.

I waited about 4 weeks for them to be made; it was less than a week shipping from Japan to U.S. via EMS/International Express USPS.

They are very well constructed. I wish I could weld like that. Polished AL, and come with all mounting hardware; 15 minute install. They match the stock dimensions perfectly; feel a bit lighter than stock.

Very nice. Yeah their full titanium exhausts for RC51s and TLRs are works of art.

I'm thinking about LadyBird slip-ons for my VTR. You are right, Capt. Chaos. These, too are 'works of art'. Looking at them on the bike, it seems like I ought to polish the sub-frame, or something, to do them justice. LOL.

Haha yeah I've been down that road...it's a VERY slippery slope. Unfortunately our subframes are actually steel... I mean you can polish anything but the raw steel would need to be clearcoated or something or it would rust pretty fast...

Wow been away from bikes so long I'd forgotten what a true crafted system looks like. That is pipe ****.

AlanS

Steel. Polishing isn't an option then. Thanks for the heads-up. Saves me some wear-and-tear figuring it out (as I do most things...the hard way. LOL).

Everything LadyBird makes, that I've seen at least, is 'art'. Meticulous construction, carefully thought-out, just...wonderful!

I'm not doing a full exhaust, just jet-hotting the headers, but I'm about 75% convinced to purchase a LadyBird set of titanium mid-pipes and slip-ons. These you can still get...

Obviously you could use their mufflers, but never saw their mids for a Superhawk. Where did you see those?

I know they make them for an RC51. The right side mid from an RC51 will fit a Superhawk (IIRC might be slightly longer), but the left side is not a 90 bend like a Superhawk's and does not fit.
