Post photos of just the can too, lots of details. I'm interested in measurements too. Need to figure out if it'll fit my bike. Now that I've actually managed to get my hands on some stainless TIG rod, I'm tossing around the idea of making my own header. Need to do some research, but looks doable.

Did you ever get around to finishing this project?

There is DEFINITELY a market for this. Thats one of the first mods I was trying to find an affordable way to DIY when I first got my bike. So nice having the exhaust tucked up out of the way.

Heres a thought. You could jack up the rear by making extensions for the lower subframe mounts. This would change the seat angle a bit, but it would give plenty of clearance.

"Has anything more happened with this project?"

Not that I've heard.

"Is that just a general RS5 muffler or is it from a specific application?"

CBR1000RR.

"What can be done to protect all the plastic from the heat?"

Not much. You'd have to make a custom undertail to replace the stock one in order for the undertail exhaust to fit up in there without looking like crap and/or rubbing the tire when you go over bumps.

"Is there any info on the yellow bike w/ the exhaust?"

All I know is its a one-off job made in Germany and like $1,800.

Well, with the 1050 fuel tank not having that huge hump hanging down and all the extra space between the engine and the seat, I don't see why someone couldn't make an aluminum undertail with heat shields that could relocate the ECU and battery lower and more forward to make room
