| I am currently working with another member of the board who has come up with this replacement exhaust tip design. It will be manufactured out of 6061-T6 aluminum and once we prototype and test a set we will be offering them for sale. Don't ask about a price yet but I do promise you that the price will be inline with the Gatlin tips offered from Victory. I am only posting here in order to get a feel for how many would be interested, once in production they will be sold on the classified board and a advertising fee paid to the owners of the board to help defray the cost associated with keeping this great website up and running. Please PM me if you would be interested in a set. Here is a SolidWorks CAD/CAM image of the design:

| Count me in. I was looking at something similiar, but it meant a whole pipe system. Are you looking at chroming these or polished?

| Thanks for the input guys!
Ricrok; Those pipes were the inspiration for the design but had to modified to take into account how stock and S1L1 mufflers route the exhaust gases. These tips will be approximately the same overall length and weight of the gatlin tips.
The tips are going to fit any exhaust that the stock or gatlin tips fit!
The center of the tip is a separate component so it will allow options such as powder coating the center while having the rest of the unit chromed or vise versa.
Keep the input coming, I'm getting excited about machining these!
BTW, I always give credit where it is due and never take someone else's so I will say again that this design is by another member of the board who I won't mention unless he chooses to post here, I am simply the guy who will be machining these.

| Don't choke it down to match the stock muffler outlet, or you will eliminate the guys with Atom Bombs (me). |

| Rikrok,
There should be no problem with flow as the area that is open for the exhaust gases to flow is larger than the combined area of both header pipes, therefore any restrictions will be in the mufflers and the tip should have no affect on performance. The area in square inches of the exhaust is about 3 times the area of the stock tips, the back of the tip is completely open with a thick flange to allow the tip mounting screws plenty of material to tighten into and in the center there is a deflector cone to direct the exhaust gases to the openings. |

McHenry, IL | Here is a view from the "other" side. Travelin Man already discussed the diversion of the gasses with the center cone and cross sectional flow area greater than the stock set up. It will not be as open as the Gatlin tips but there is still more than the exhaust headers themselves.

Hmmm, wish I could! LOL! I have no idea how to make a "chop"! If you look straight down at the back of your bike, the tips would extend out the same amount as the rear valence does. The overall length is approximately 5-3/4", if that helps any. |

LaPorte,Tx. | OK, this needs a fin or two. A little "Buck Rodgers" rocket fin off the top so the fin would start about 10" up on the muffler chrome cover and ends at the back edge of this tip make it about 6" tall at the back end. Kinda like the back of a rocket. Put a red LED light at the top of the tip. One small fin on the side would be good also. Chrome it all. Sweet!
Just yesterday I had another non-Vision rider as me where the wings were...so this would work. Normally when they ask, I say I didn't get the optional solar panels and that's the only you get the wings.
These are cool tips, thanks for putting in the effort. |

Why don't we just add a wired spark plug to it so we can throw a few flames?  |
