• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hindle pipe installation

I just put the hindle exhaust on this afternoon and it sounds great. I can't believe how much heavier the stock exhaust ways and how constricting it was. The videos on youtube.com dont do the hindle any justice of how low it actually is. I can't image how much louder the two brothers twin pipe sounds like. :)
 
Hindle swap was easiest mod ever...

Just added my Hindle and it was a snap. No problem with the spring and no gasket needed. Very easy. Nice sound.

So now I'm all set for my Red Carpet Ryde - Me and 3 others from the Livermore area are on our way down the PCH (Pacific Coast High) by 7am (6/26). Hope to see you at Bob's Big Boy Friday Night
 
It's on and is great - but why was there a new clamp in the box?? the Hindle doesn't need/use a clamp, the clamp wouldn't close down that far, AND it made a mess of the sealant on my new pipe!!! :cus:

Had to steel wool it off the next day....

Even so, this was my first 10 minute chore...

You must have a different Hindle than the one setting in my garage. It does not require a gasket like stock but it does require a band clamp... in addition to the spring.

And, hi-temp RTV or silicone is recommended (let it dry over night) for a good seal.

That's interesting - there's no split(s) in the connector, and the clamp doesn't come close to clamping the pipe - it's way too big, and I can't see what it would do, without the splits.. :dontknow:

Any comments are welcome - seems to work just fine tho..

They very well could have come out with a new Version III. The early Version I was just like the stock pipe... used the same gasket and everything.

Version II eliminated the gasket and came with a new clamp. I have that one.

I agree... without the splits on the female side, there's no use for a clamp.

I also read in one of the posts, someone disconnected the battery. Is this necessary? I know it is with some other mods for the puter to relearn (remap?), but I thought the Hindle was not one of those.

I think its a good idea with the Hindle also. Any free flowing exhaust can affect the way the engine runs. Its easy to just disconnect the battery, install the Hindle, then reconnect the battery.

Have a question. I just installed a used two-Bros exhaust pipe, and Orbit now has a hesitation to her. I only got up to five MPH in the parking lot so I do not know how she reacts when going faster. In fact, I do not want to ryde her more than I have to in this condition. This leads me to two questions.

1) The guy I bought the pipe from (bought it used) said that I do not need a gasket between the pipe with the curve that connects the exhaust pipe, and what I believe is the Y-pipe. Yet, there was a gasket of some type when I pulled off the OEM pipe. Should I have put this back on?

2) These posts talk about disconnecting the battery, but I did not do this. Should I disconnect the battery, and reinstall the exhaust pipe (and the gasket), and then reconnect the battery?

Thanks for any help.
