Any Info Please.

Post by pariah »

Just managed to a set of micron cans of a guy on e bay

They are complete with hangers and link pipes, however the thing is. Will I need to buy new gaskets and clamps or will my original ones still fit as I onle renewed these not long ago.

Depends what you've already got fitted. My Microns, with separate link pipes just slip onto the existing header section. The gaskets are inside the original honda one piece can/connector pipe so leave them be - so you can refit for MOT etc.

I would recommend using Mikalor Supra Fully Stainless Steel W4 clamps (55-59) over the crappy honda ones, especially if you ride in winter.

Hi Wicky.
many thanks for the info, I have found these on e bay. The only difference i can see is that these are W2 clamps (390106115974) . These are three times cheaper than from the place you mentioned. Plus free postage as well . Would they be just as good ?

The bolts on the w2/w3 are zinc coated, while the w4 is fully SS hence marine quality. You'll appreciate the difference if you ride over winter through salted roads.

Buy 3 or 4 of the w4 Mikalors and they'll last you a lifetime.
