Need help with Laser exhaust

[TOE CUTTER]

I purchased a Laser exhaust from Foster RAD and it does not fit correctly. They have blown me off and to make a long story short I am trying to figure out which part is flawed.I would like to find a member in California that has one that could give me a hand with a comparison of the suspect parts (I think it is in the Y or the right pipe off the Y) so I have to cut and weld as little as possible.Maybe even some good pics will help me decide where to mod the pipes. Thanks.

fuckin A toe cutter! youre still dealing with this?
im sorry bro. i wish i could help but im on the wrong coast... good luck i hope you get it figured out...

[TOE CUTTER]

I had two of my guys come by tonight that do custom welding and fab and they both wanted to find out what part is flawed as it is a cluster fuck of parts.They are willing to cut it up and make it fit but we agree that it would be best to figure out where the flaw is and repair that.

Googled the said CF and found this....

All hope may not be lost just yet.Laser contacted me via email this morning, not Foster RAD but the factory.......better than nothin I guess.Will just have to wait and see what happens.

Those laser exhausts look and sound so good brother Toe.

I'm glad you are getting some support somewhere along the line. Hopefully Laser will square you away, and I bet that they will since they got ahold of you.

Tell them to hurry up. I'm waiting for you to get that all put together so that I can finally get my hands on a quality sound clip from the Lasers other than just an idle.

[ilovheros]

good luck, can't wait too see them right.

[TOE CUTTER]

Still need pictures please.

I got my Lasers from pipecity.com. No issues installing them, as with any dual exhaust system (in my experience) they are not perfectly symmetrical, but the difference is not noticeable at all. I'm sure I could tweak a little here and there to make them perfect but like I said, the difference is not noticeable.

Definitely work with Laser though. The place you bought them from doesn't care, not their problem. But Laser should stand by their product and work with you to get pipes that fit.

I do recall having to use some washers, maybe a longer bolt too, to get them positioned better.

It's hard to make four harley sportster pipes look good on a VFR, no matter what you do......

[CandyRedRC46]

My recommendation for you is sale the damn pipes on fleabay and get yourself some Staintune, Leo or 2 Bro..........................save yourself some headache. I saw a few members here that have those on..........Where are they when you need them eh...

Put them up for sale at the Sportster forum, somebody will want them.

I need to get them to fit and then I plan on being rid of them.Not even Harley guys would buy them like they are. I am in contact with Laser and they want me to go back to Foster RAD ...........I guess they do not understand the jerk-off's wont deal with customers that have a problem.....just ignore them until they go away.I shall give this until the weekend and then its the saw and tig welder for them.Very rusty in my tig skills so I will have to practice a bit before I weld them back together but I am very near my limit with this horse shit.

don't you hav ea lawyer? Usually I nice polite letter from a lawyers office gets their attention. There is that, and then there is small claims if they will not warranty the product. There is also posting up names addresses and dates/times you talked to them and what their respose was on sites like here and even on BBB type websites. epinions.com, etc... Then you send them links to all the character damage you are trying to accomplish and see if they start to chat with you a bit.

I am try to be nice , Laser may take care of it yet, but when I am done I shall be an asshole. Put the whole thing on the back burner and kinda forgot about it for a bit. Had bigger fish to fry the last couple of months but this is the fish in the fire now.

[VIFFER RIDER]

Wow fitment is better then i had thought j/k. I had similar fitment issues with my LV but after tinkering with pipe layout for a couple of hours i got them close enough to perfect.

[TOE CUTTER]

I thought the same thing when I started, but this shit is hopeless.Way tooo far off. Really, not even close.

[TOE CUTTER]

Would have really thought one of you would have posted some pics by now........not alot to ask.

[Hotbrakes]

And the left side...


Sorry it took so long. There must be a flaw in the bend of your pipes. There isn't a lot of room for error and the only corrections I had to make were different number of washers in the hangers to make the pipes symmetrical on both sides. The angles still aren't exact as far as up/down but its minimal. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more. Oh and don't mind the dirt...or the spider. Contrary to the pics I do ride the bike, but usually only when it rains or below 50 degrees.

[TOE CUTTER]

If I get stuck with this thing your pic's are very helpful.It would have to be the left side pipe and not the Y pipe from looking at you pic's. The one I have points into the right side pipe just above the first bend and the one on you bike has a much more mild bend to it . If my Laser nightmare gets to the point where I cut and tig it to fit this is gonna help alot. Thanks.
