as you can see from the under tunnel pic the clearnece is kinda skinny. Im going to have to add a drop bracket, im thinking 2" to allow room for my studs. And im not shore weather to run a power commander or not, and Im thinking of clutching it but dont know what I would need for the stock gearing and now its a 136....

When I made my 06 RTX into a 144" I dropped it one tooth24-23 and left the clutching alone.

Those were the only ones I have at this point. I will be taking more this weekend as that is when I plan to paint and install the LED brake light.

Good luck with the muffler and studs, I think you will end up destroying it.
Doing a skid relocation down will raise the sled and make it harder to handle (tippier) and hard to steer. If you do just the back it will also want to bottom out sooner, you'll need to do both front and back.
If you figure out a solution keep us posted, it looks awesome, wouldn't mind a similar set up myself.

How much work is it to lift an Apex

kinger: I think the best option is to ditch the ripsaw and studs, and go with a Ice attack or something like that with pre molded studs in it. Then a small diamond plate guard would work just in case. Anyone want to trade tracks....
stephenpen: it sounds like a sport bike on steroids... But is not any louder than the stock exhaust, I had it tested and its below the Maine 95db rating at 15 feet away, plus it is a stock Yamaha can. when you say lifting do you mean the drop brackets? If so you can buy the backs and remount the front with some geometry involved. Not too bad.

Why don't u cut out the top of the tunnel and raise the exhaust up and then build a new cover? Probably a lot easier and less problematic than lowering the suspension. If u get the aluminum TIGed it would look good instead of rivets. Where did u get the can, I like it. Do u have a part number?

I dont think the Maine noise limit is 95 dec. unless they have changed it lately,i thought it was 78 dec. 95 is real loud,i had the hauck twin exhaust on mine,i got it from woddys,keith assured me,it was close to stock sound,not even remotly close,i ditched in two days,good luck.MaineApex said:

It is a stock can from a yamaha R6 sport bike, I did not want it up through the tunnel because I wanted to add a gas cady to the rear and did not want a turn out. And I like a good challenge. I like how it sounds and looks. A little paint and its going to look even better. Im going to get an Ice ripper XT track, and make a guard to protect it.
The db level is 95 at 15 feet away, at Idle to pass, at leaset that is what the officer in Oxford said when he checked it. Its not louder than stock.
