i got the dynojet because it was cheep and online shops want 80 plus quid for them

i know dynojet will fit fine, but link pipes may be hit and miss.

The link pipes that fs-mike found the link to, are the same ones i've got, they are pretty good for the price, just needed a small trim to fit- a fault i emailed them about but as yet have not received a response.

I had to cut about 3/4 inch off the right hand link pipe, where it joins the downpipes, otherwise the tab that bolts to the bottom of the footpeg would'nt line up- not a big deal- just a 5 minute job.
What I will say about these links, is other then the niggle, the fit and build quality is very nice.
