Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
This maybe an obviously answered question to some but ...
I have bought a RVF oem full exhaust system, minus the rear manifold headers and can.
Will it bolt straight up to my VFR nc30 with nc30 rear manifold?
Guess I will find out later if it does or not, would rather know now before spending any more time/money on it.

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
Yeah, I have a 35 exhaust on my 30 and can attest to the sidestand hitting the underside of the link pipe when retracted. Other than that, it seems to work well.

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
I wasn't sure about the stand clearance, the nc29 stand hits the rvf exhaust on my 30.

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
Well, the stand on my 35 is very, very close to the pipework, and would be even more so if the edge of the foot wasn't burred over quite a way. I'm assuming it's the original of course, and I've certainly not changed it. All the pipework is original. I seem to recall eyeing up an RC45 once and there appeared to be a small indent in the pipework to allow the gear linkage to move without the end of the linkage colliding with it....

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
Theres ways around it as nearly every aftermarket system ive fitted to a NC has touched the side stand. You can either space the side stand out and/or glue a solid piece of rubber in the gap between the stand itself and the stand mount to stop the stand retracting all the way.

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
I'm not too worried about the side stand, sure I can find a way around that.
Just read somewhere that Rvf ones were different and it got me worried.

Re: Rvf exhaust on a Vfr
Different bolt spacings on the frame is the only difference i think
