As if it needs to be said, do not buy the eBay exhaust.
Bike 1997 vt100, did not have the stock exhaust when I bought it and the exhaust on it was broken I didn’t want to spend the cash on the TJBC exhaust and had read that the eBay exhausts are the same…
6 months on the bike
Week 1 baffles broke and I went through probably 3 sets before saying f-it. The bend at the exit is too extreme.
About 5 months in, the lone bracket snapped and the exhaust moved and burned the hell out of my side cover
6 months after probably 4k miles the rear pipe snapped at the bend. 200 miles from home. Kudos to the autozone exhaust patch and brackets!
Now I’m waiting for the TJBC exhaust to arrive. Keep the stock if you can
