Just got an 83 650 Maxim. First bike in 30 years, and want to just cruise down the highway on a sunny day....everything seems great so far but I would really prefer a different look to the exhaust system - more straight back than swept up.
So I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to alter the existing exhaust system? I have a mig welder so could cope with minor changes although I suppose that would cook the chrome.
2. If step 1 were accomplished successfully, how might I accommodate the centre stand?
All ideas welcome - please note however that this is not a big enough deal to me that I will spend hundreds of dollars replacing the system; I'm just looking for some diy approaches.
Thanks,
Jim
