[rider40life0]

well this is my first write up and i still need to finish it, but i'll post up the rest later. first i took a long look at the bike to get my ideas straight.

unbolt the exhaust can, mine had three bolts
http://www.sharenow.com/base/content/12456/

remove the can (i like the look without)
http://www.sharenow.com/base/content/12457/

grind the rivets off to remove the cap (if yours have rivets)

measure the can for your desired length. take a piece of paper or magazine spine and bend it around the can to get a straight line
marking. then mark your line around the can. rotate the can 3 inches at a time measuring each time to make sure your line is straight.

next time use"img" and "/img" in the [] instead of "url" and "/url"

it's much less of a pain to read.

nevermind. I fail at the internet
