I agree the exhaust bracket is an issue, but it's issues can be drastically reduced by getting rid of these massive muffler. Changing to a muffler that is half the size and moving it up so it is attached to the bracket at the front of the muffler gets it out of the way enough so it very rarely make contact when you put the bike down on the right side.

 

You can see the difference in this photo with my wife's bike in the background with the stock muffler, you may note that I actually cut the stock link pipe off my damaged stock muffler and modified it to use the new slip-on muffler. This way I was able to move the slip-on higher up then when using the link pipe I had originally purchased, this also afforded the use of the stock heat shield. 

Could you please post the link to where you ordered your exact universal slip on please.   What is the length of the muffler you used? Thank you!!

Looks good to me!  My bike likes that style too

 

 

Okay, please can you tell us what mid pipe that is?  Looks good.

First of a few videos from our March trip to Moab. Andy from Heavy Enduro was on his T7 and our friend Charles was riding his 500 EXC.

What you guys do with  those big bikes is amazing (Bordering on mental retardation)! 

Those rocks look fun for a trials bike, not a 450 pound behemoth.

My hat is off to you fellas!!!

What did that bike do to deserve that kinda' beating?  

Kudos to you guys.  I couldn't have done it or even attempted it.  The first downhill part was enough for me.  We're going to need a safety meeting and some extra insurance.

Man, you guys are hardcore. Those lines look scary on video so I can only imagine what they look like in person. Kudos for pushing the limits on the big bikes.

This is video evidence of why I don't even hesitate to buy Cory's stuff. There is no way I'll match his " testing" of parts limits, so I know they'll last. Headed to Moab next week myself, but made a note to self, " avoid Hell's Gate".

I'm so uncomfortable on my 350 and even more so on my trials bikes. I simply feel better on the ADV bikes, they just fit me better. I know there are lots of big people that ride dirt bikes but I always feel incredibly unstable on them. Bear on a tricycle.

Our parts definitely get tested to the limit (and beyond at times). Definitely check out Hell's Gate when you're there. They are almost always people attempting it... I've seen some epic loop outs and truck/SXS rollovers in past years. It's a spectacle at times!

I looked at that hill the last few times we were in Moab but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Looking down from the top is very intimidating. This time, I just decided to make it happen. I'm sure I'll try it again next time, hopefully with less sand on it, or plan better for the sand.

I bought it to ride it... I have a few pristine bikes too. I feel like the T7 is the lucky one of the bunch though. It gets to go see cool places and compete in fun events. The more beat up it gets, the more I like it!

A nasty bit of trail called Koko Claims in South Eastern British Columbia. I love this bike more every time I ride it! 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Let's call this what it is. It's a d@mn Jeep trail.
2. 9:54 "The last climb to the cabin is supposed to be the gross part": Makes sense, this looks like a cakewalk up to this point.
3. 12:12 <Camera pans up steep, long, boulder filled hill>: I stand corrected, it can get worse.
4. Riding over rocky terrain like this on flat ground is hard enough with the deflection alone. Add steep hills, tight trails / steep dropoffs, and the speed required to keep forward momentum it takes this up to a whole other level.
5. A GoPro vid makes big obstacles look small and hard lines look easy. When the obstacles look big and the lines hard in the vid I cannot imagine riding this in real time.
6. Impressive controlled starts on steep / big boulder terrain.

 

I love seeing what Pol Tarres can do on his T7. Same now with @Camel ADV. Impressive.

Thanks. That trail is a grind.  There's nothing particularly nasty but just relentless rock looking to dump you on your head and a few ledges tossed in for fun.

A few friends and I were in Moab in March. We ran Cliff Hanger trail which is literally on the edge of a cliff for a good portion of it. Lots of rock steeps and loose rock to contend with. Andy from Heavy Enduro was with me on his T7, Seth from Utah Enduro Adventures on his 790R and Manitoba Charles on his 500EXC. It was a bit of a grind in spots but a fun day.

@Camel ADV Super cool video. I would never never never be able to do that on a big bike!!

Cool bunch of guys, I gotta share this with all my riding buddies!

Hey, what was the music at 6:30ish? Sounds like Dick Dale stuff from a Quentin Tarantino movie...

[UtahJack]

@Camel ADV

Ok, that is an impressive video, but you guys are nuts that does not look like fun. I am almost 70 years old so if I have to transverse that trail it will be in my Jeep TJ with full lockers and the air on, but that's just me I don't bounce as well as I did. Well maybe I never really bounced that well, seems like all the points I am suffering from arthritis just happen to be located around old motorcycle injuries. Don't get me wrong I do love ridding my T7 just not to the point I have to be medicated to get out of bed the next day. But I am sure it will be different when you get to be my age, yea right. LOL

It's not advisable to take an ADV bike on this trail! It was a bit of work but we had a good group.

Fun is subjective! I used to have an offroad truck and enjoyed it ... until I didn't. I have friends that are willing and able to ride this stuff so we do and we have a lot fun. I'm sure none of us will being do this at 70 either but I have a few years until then so we'll do it as long as we want to (or can), which ever comes first!

[AZJW]

Testicular fortitude doesn't even begin to describe this.  Yes, fun is subjective and the video was great to watch and learn from.  I learned that Hell's Revenge is now considered child's play! Great job by all!

[Camel ADV]

We've been increasing the spiciness of our rides lately... things are getting out of hand. Damn, I love this bike!

 

[Hibobb]

I am without words right now...

[Hibobb]

I can't believe you guys are even still alive.

450 pound bikes doing this stuff, simply amazing!!

@Camel ADV Cory, T7's on 5MOH?  Insane, unfathomable, certifiable are a few descriptors that come to mind.  This is the first time I've feared for my safety while sitting on the couch!  Admiration of you guys, skills and determination, can't wait for part 2.

Thanks for giving us new bragging rights that the T7 CAN do 5MOH, ( in the right hands).

Yeah, it was a pretty crazy day. Perhaps the best day of riding I’ve ever had.

Part of our 5 Miles of Hell ride is now up on YouTube:

Really liked the "Jaden pirouette " at 5:50 and you providing over the top testing of HDB handguards at 10:11 and your Gut guards tested all day long. All you guys are ADV studs and thrilled to see both T7's do this " trail" without any physical or mechanical casualties.

Yup, just a flat tire and some scraped up plastic. It was a fun day.
