Vance & Hines CS One Review

Length, width, and height.

Trying to do a custom build for a different bike - and am finding getting this measurement difficult - need to make sure it will fit before dropping $700 for it.

Here ya go: they are 13" long x 4" wide x 5" high at their longest points on each side. They are sort off a trapezoid shape, so each side is different.

The idea is to put them side by side on a daytona 675 street fighter. Wonder if it'd look decent. Hrmmmm

Bet they would look cool on the Daytona. Plus they would be unique. Go for it!

Hey NoCal Tom, Thanks for your great photos and review. I haev been eyeing this exhaust for quite sometime now. If I may ask you some questions:
1. Did your gas mileage (miles/gallon) change after the exhaust change?
2. Has the black color remained the same? or has it started fading out?
3. How is the pipe connection area? is it a good fit? is it loose or rattling by any chance?

Awaiting your reply,
Andy

Andy, I have not noticed any change in gas mileage. The cans are still in new condition after 6 months of having them, and about 2000 miles of use. I do park it in a garage, so it does not get constant exposure to the weather.
And the pipes fit snuggly, there are no leaks or rattles. It just has a gap that is a bit wider than I expected at the junction.

They look great, and I am still very happy with them.

Hey Tom, thanks for the quick response. Will it help if I fix a K & N filter to the bike along with Vance & Hines pipe, or will it affect the performance (make it even more leaner?) - leading to starting troubles or engine mis-firing?
did you fix a different air filter, other than stock?
Thanks again for your help,

Andy, you should do a search here regarding the KN filter, it appears that the use of one with any slip on exhaust w/o an ECU update can cause the bike to run too lean. Mine has a stock air cleaner. I do not subscribe to the belief that an aftermarket exhaust by itself will cause any serious harm to the engine but if you search the forum, you will find many who really disagree, so there are definitely some difference of opinion out there.
