I would think so?

2009 + Jardine = No fit due to extra heat shield which causes the pipe to rub with the swing arm

Has anyone managed to remove the heat shield + replace it?

I told Jardine I would let them use my bike for testing; they agreed but never called back.

i dont know the weight savings of the jardine for the 09 but on my 675 it was a full 9lbs savings over the tor slipon

Just spoke to Jardine who said it wouldn't fit

Can anyone confirm the 2009 changes for the exhaust routing?

I guess I will be going Two Brothers then unless Jardine expects to have somethign out in the next month or so....

Can't confirm any changes for 2009 Jardine model. Just remove the heat shield and it will work fine.

Yep, just did that today had to melt the heat shield off though as there is one bolt that looks a mission to get to, sawed it off (the bolt) then popped the head out and plugged the hole.

What was the second heat shield for?

I have no idea. My edumucated guess would be to prevent heat from the exhaust pipe that runs that direction from burning a leg. I read a couple threads were people complain about the heat coming from that area. Seems like the new shield is more of a pain in the ass than a welcomed addition.

:rofl:

Yea I thought the same, it didn't extend to the battery or other "important" areas, so thought it would just be rider comfort.

I have the Jardine on my '09, and it was weird to fit. The guy at the shop had to do some finagling, one of the bolts didn't line up (but the stock muffler frame still works and holds it in place just fine, and I don't have a heat shield (which is starting to SUCK since we're hitting 100 here daily now).
On the plus side, it sounds CRAZY good, sits straight, and generally makes the bike rock harder.
It wasn't TOO big a deal to get on. Just took some weasling.

My bike is going to Jardine for 2 weeks next week. They'll be making adjustments and putting out their own tune for the bike. Gonna be hard not having a bike for 2 weeks.
