- 14R Brock's CT Meg Install and Dyno Results - I am going to try to make this short and sweet. Racheal and I have worked a combined 142 hours in the past week, and today is our only day off until next Sunday...we're a little tired. I got up early in the morning and installed the CT Meg exhaust. Including fairing removal, taking my time, the job took under 1.5 hours. I left the fairings off for the dyno work.
The pipe is gorgeous:
And it's very light:
I took the time to weigh the parts coming off of the bike:
Both mufflers with peg hangers and hardware: 35 lbs
Stock header: 8.8 lbs
So, here is the weight savings that you can expect, as long as you don't mind losing your passenger pegs:
43.8 - 8.1 = 35.7 lbs
I am currently editing the pics for the dyno results, coming soon...remember, stingy dyno and no tuning. Fortunately, I had the bike on the same dyno last week, so comparison results will be valid...

I didn't know how much of a gain to expect, with no tuning...but I was pleasantly surprised.
Here are the results compared to last week. NO changes at all, other than bolting on the exhaust. Same tire pressure, same fuel (93 Shell pump gas):
Pay no attention to the 200 hp #, that is from the bump at the end of the pull. But about 9 hp gain peak, and 12 hp at 10600! Pretty awesome with no tuning, imo!!
I have some more dyno charts, and a small sound clip as well. And if you guys want any other data, just let me know...

Sound clip would be nice :-)
We were seemingly seeing some reversion issues with the short pipe and the sniffer, at low-mid rpm? Or not? But on top it looks pretty good. Next time I will hook up my data logger, it doesn't seem to be bothered as much as the dyno sniffer.

Here is the sound clip:
Nice and deep tone at idle/low rpm. I will get a sound clip at high rpm on the road as soon as I'm able. If the weather cooperates, that will be next week...
It was 55 degrees today, and the uncorrected #'s were awesome. I wish I had time to ride it!!!

Your are perhaps unique on this site in the systematic way you approach and document your experiments. Others do it, but not to your level. ____________

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Around 38 lbs, if I recall. It's in my old build thread somewhere.
Thx,,,thought I read that somewhere in your journal.
So the R gained weight some other place...
