Parts List
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We recommend that this performance part be installed by a qualified
motorcycle technician. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install
this performance part, please consult with your local motorcycle dealer.
Read all instructions first before starting installation. Make sure the
motorcycle and exhaust system are completely cool before starting the
installation. Also, make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or ideally
a service lift during installation. Be sure to save all stock components for
possible use later.
Installation Instructions
5. Place stainless steel Barrel
Band clamp around S-Bend
tubing and slide the clamp
up and out of the way. Place
a bead of the hi-temp sealant
on the outside edge of the
header that goes into the s-
bend. Slide the s-bend onto the end of the header (fig.
8). Wipe off the excess sealant that will squeeze out.
Use the stainless steel clamp to secure it. Leave loose
for now.
6. Carefully slide the Canister Clamp over the canister.
(Note: The stainless steel canister clamp and the name
badge on the canister come from the factory with a
clear plastic protective film. Please remove this film
before operation.) You may need to twist and turn the
S-bend a little to get it in the right place. Leave loose
for now.
7. Align canister and S-Bend tube assembly along the
fender (fig. 9). Insert 8x60mm Cap screw through hole
in canister clamp, thread 34mm spacer onto cap screw
and loosely secure cap screw to original mounting hole
(fig. 10).
8. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all
hardware including the 8x16mm cap screws (fig. 11)
and the barrel band clamp (fig. 12). Some tweaking
may be required for proper alignment. Be sure you
have proper clearances between the exhaust system
and the motorcycle.
9. Reinstall the grab rail and tail section.
10. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and
dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become
somewhat permanent when the system gets hot. Run
the bike and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke
to appear the first time you start the bike. This is
packing/manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning
off. Check for gaps or leaks. If you find a leak, a little
high temperature silicon sealant should fix it. After 50
to 100 miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting
the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on a
centerstand or ideally a service lift.
2. Remove the seat, side panels and grab rail/ tail section.
(fig. 1-6)
3. Loosen the clamps that hold the stock canister. Remove
the stock muffler.
4. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside
edge of the s-bend that goes into the canister. Slide
the TBR canister onto the end of the S-bend pipe. Wipe
off the excess sealant that will squeeze out. Join the
V.A.L.E. cap with the end of the M-2 muffler using the
supplied 6x14mm screws and split washers. Loosely
secure all four screws (fig. 7). Keep the screws loose
enough so that the tube can rotate back and forth
inside the V.A.L.E. Cap.
