I’m definitely interested.

 

I would rather get a Yoshimura slip on. If there is a separate option made available for the mounting bracket and pipe sections that would be great!

 

I’m flexible though, if it has to be with the muffler you provide with the kit. So be it.

The issue with trying to use several different slip-ons is the height from the inlet's center-line to the mounting hole of the clamp will vary a lot brand to brand. We'd end up having to make several different link pipes... they are a hell of a lot of work to get perfected even with the use of 3D scanning. Initially, we'll be selling them as complete kits.

I believe the only higher exhaust kit that doesn't require cutting the factory mount is Huzar.

Shame, love the look of the exhaust and camels reputation is excellent, I’m just not over keen on chopping the frame on a new bike esp while still under warranty! look forward to seeing how it fits and what you’ve come up with

I’ve been down 3 time on the right hand side and the support is cracked so it’s either cut it off  or go through insurance and replace the frame every time I drop the thing.

Man that’s crap .... be interesting to see what options come out.... I know rally raid have come out with a soft luggage rack with an optional brace for the exhaust mount... failing that I guess there’s the option of a luggage rack to help shield it if dropped, although I’m not keen on the look if it protects the bike

Yes, Camel ADV, please update us about your plan...

If this kit is as good as the other Camel products I thinks its a no brainer. Should be a great piece of kit. 

 

Corey if you need a tester let me know, I am no stranger to wrenching (Or dropping my bike on some gnarly trails)

Cory  lm curious if the direction of exhaust heat is aimed at the turn signal or not ?  I'm using your tail tidy  & have stood behind my bike & imagine how the silencer will be when bolted in the high mount .

The short answer is that it depends. If you are running a tail tidy and the exhaust with the DB killer, then the signal light is fine. If you're not using the DB killer insert, then shorter, lower profile signal lights will be a good idea.

Trying to find the sweet spot to dump the exhaust that will work with the stock signal light/licence plate holder and OEM pannier racks and will work with Tail Tidies and every conceivable sized signal light from the North American fist-sized pumpkins to the tiniest button LEDs and everything in between is a challenge.

Three weeks delayed getting the material cut but finally, all the link pipe bits are here.

Our fabricator Matt managed to get a bunch pipe welded today. He's a 30yr journeyman and a master of aluminum and stainless TIG. I'm very happy to have him on the team!

 

The big question that remains is what to do for the heat shield/heel guard. We have a few options that we can go with and they can be done in house or be sourced quickly. There needs to be something on the pipe.

Our first though was to use one of the universal back bone type protector but I'm not a fan of look. The next idea was one of the smaller slotted heat shields. Effective I'm sure but again, I'm not a huge fan of the look.

Our shop 790 was sitting on the bike lift next to the T7 and I noticed the stainless wire guard bars on it. We added them to our T7 link pipe and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

 

What are your thoughts?

That looks great!

[Canzvt]

Nice. I can't wait until mine is ready...

[Hammerhead]

Good news, Cory. The welded wire guard bars get my vote.  This will be another hot Camel item in more ways than one!

[loneranger700]

lmao. I bought those exact parts from China half expecting whatever future high-exhaust kit I get would not have plates on them. They work good, personally, and they definitely do the job of protecting my legs from heat, although no where near as good as the OEM ones, but I think that's just how the OEM ones transfer (or stop transfer?) heat from the pipe to the shield. These welds look like a huge upgrade from the OEM ones though

Welded wire all the way.

I'll be happy to pay a living wage to a 30 year journeyman welding the link pipe.

 

Looking great

What is the position of the end vs position of the turn signal, will it be heaten up ?

@Camel ADV , a quick question:

have you tried to put the bike on the ground on its right side, to see if the exhaust pipe touches the ground?

 

One of the purposes (in addition to the aesthetic one) is in fact also to avoid damage to the exhaust if you fall on the right side.

 

It would be important to do this check, in fact I see that you have not used the swingarm recess, but you have chosen to follow a more external line (like the original one) for the new exhaust pipe.

 

Thanks

I like the welded wire and the slotted style guards.  Never been a fan of the backbone style.

 

Presumably it wouldn't be too hard to fit the slotted guard or the backbone style over the top of the welded wires if certain people prefer a certain look.

 

But for me I prefer the welded wire-look.

Will this enable the pipe and muffler to be mounted inboard of the existing hanger?  I see you had a custom "Secret Sauce" hanger idea, will that be what you are using?  If so, I may have answered my first question.

Saw the coolest bit of kit on my pals HyperMotard.  The Tail Tidy comes with aluminum deflector plates!

It's not inboard of the hanger, it's directly below it. We'll have more pics up soon.

well I rarely hear THAT!!   

wouldn't bee too hard to design for your product -  hopefully I smell UPGRADE coming soon!

[Camel ADV]

I found some carbon fibre heat shields that fit (surprisingly well actually) but they make the pipe look like an Armadillo... or a Ninja Turtle.
