Staintune High moutn 94-97 anyone?
Hey there listers, the spring bug has hit and I've decided to change the
sound of my bike. Does anyone out there have a high-mount staintune exhaust for the 94-97 that they might be willing to part with? If you do please shoot me an email off list at jboron1414@xxxxxx and let me know what you would like to get for it. Thanks!

Re: Staintune High moutn 94-97 anyone?
Jeremy,
There's one on ebay right now at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT There's also a group buying opportunity I read about on www.vfrdiscussion.com . Apparently, the $455 pipe can be had for $375 new. The details are on the discussion group at http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/i...2&hl=staintune Best of luck, Wally ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Boron" To: Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 4:17 PM Subject: Staintune High moutn 94-97 anyone? > Does anyone out there have a high-mount staintune exhaust > for the 94-97 that they might be willing to part with?
