If they skip that angle/bend in the stinger, the rear axle can be pulled without removing one pipe.  :twocents:

Toomey silencers I think. Curious that they opted to go below the footpegs, helluva good lookin' pipe, though.

Those hang so low you don;t need to cut off the center stand tabs. Or beat on em with various blunt objects either. Interesting.

Just something Roger Allen posted on Facebook. His website is not really the greatest, so you would probably have to call him to get details.

the belly shape reminds me somewhat of the old pro-flo s-series kaw triple pipes. (rare as hens teeth). they do hang low.

I think it's great that there's an option for people who don't want to change the stock footpegs. No doubt many people have been put off over the years by the prospect of not only changing out pipes and rejetting, but also having to replace footpegs to accommodate their new pipe design. They're not for me, but some people probably like where Yamaha put the pegs...?

I would think that anyone wanting more performance from an RD, also want the pegs moved back somewhat. It seems Yamaha put the pegs further forward than Kawasaki and Honda back then. At least the XS650 and RDs have the pegs too far forward for spirited riding. This is just my personal opinion, of course.
