Because of the chambers I make, I talked to Mike at M Factory West and became a dealer for his silencers. These versions are available:

150mm black carbon fiber
250mm black carbon fiber
300mm black carbon fiber

150mm polished aluminum
250mm polished aluminum
300mm polished aluminum

The price is the same for all, $99 each. I also had some weld-on mounting flanges laser cut for 1" OD stinger tube. They're $3 each.

Here are some photos of the 250mm black carbon version and the mounting flanges. More photos are available at his Flickr page: M Factory West Flickr Photos

Are those my pipes? :lol: You got caught up and now you are ahead a little? :lol: J/K I want them to look just like those with aluminum silencers. They are beautiful.

Beautiful Jim. I hope you are considering an offering of tucked-in centersweep stinger chambers at some point in the future...? And even based on the original Denco specs would be fine and would look fantabulous with those silencers :!: 8-)

Sure Darrin, tucked, upswept, polished stainless or titanium (customer's option), RD pipes, Suzuki pipes, all planned for when I get the waiting list down to something reasonable. :lol:

Are those silencers available with clamp on mounting for those of us with more than 1 set of pipes?
They lok way more sexy than the FPP silencers.
Bad part is the FPP pipes are quieter than the Denco's with built in silencers. :(

No, just flange mount, but if you put flanges on two sets of chambers, you can move the silencers easily.

I'm not sure if you're saying it's bad that the FPPs are too quiet, or that you wish the Dencos were quieter. If you want quiet, you want internal stingers in addition to silencers.

Clean your tubes of ALL the crud in the louvers and use one package of FMF packing in each (you have to trim about 3" off the length and fits perfect)....then see if you like it better ;) (assuming you want some crack)


Jim sent me a set of the MFW cans and flanges last week. Shipped out immediately, packed right and just what the doctor ordered. Soon I hope to have some pics of tucked H1 WTF's with Italian Chrome cans for you. :clap:

Saying quiet is good on street bikes and like the FMF packing.
Also saying the FPP with silencers are quieter than Denco's with built in silencers.
Have been experimenting with other sound damping material and have found some that is as good or better than FMF and mcuh less expensive.
Perhaps one of these days Mr. Hobbs will report back if he liked it!

I sure will, after my next repack. H2 is down for all kinds of cylinder mods at the moment. :D :( :D
