Title: DL650 exhaust
Post by: Ccmp on March 18, 2015, 11:12:40

Hi , I'm considering making a tool holder on lhs of bike and adding rear end of an old exhaust as a cover. Anyone got an old exhaust that I could doctor?  Or alternatively has anyone done similiar before?
Bike is 2009 DL650 Thanks in advance.

Hello mate,

I've got a spare plastic tube that some of us have fitted on the left-side, usually to the pannier rails, like this one:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-To ... 386wt_1190 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Tool-Tube-XRV-XL-GS-CRF-DRZ-WR-KLX-KTM-BMW-Honda-Yamaha-Suzuki/191529766219?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D4e27f378b41948a289af0e77ccf04475%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D191503154880#ht_386wt_1190)

Was going to stick up on Fleabay, but if interested happy to post for £15, which is what I paid for it.

Let us know.
Jay

A length of main waste pipe, two srew off end caps, 2 stainless exhaust hangers and some glue for the end caps

Nice job Mr D. That looks better than the Ebay one with the yellow graffiti on it.  :thumb:

Thanks for replies. Intended butchering an old exhaust and either inserting a tool tube or fabbing one from the can. Bike would look like the DL1000 from the rear.

That looks pretty good MrDiver, and more storage space than the Fleabay ones.  :thumb:
