Hi Rincewind
is the measurement not including the outlet pipe? I need to have a measure now and study the pipe to see if it will go but think of a price in the meantime :D

no it doesn't include the outlet pipe, just the main body of the exhaust

can remeasure to include the outlet, as soon as i've taken the kids to school :wink:

So do i Rincewind and Chris, could you ask the maker how much it would be to alter the rear header pipe. If you still have the pics of mine i want the pipe bringing over the right side of the swingarm then joining to the existing downpipe if that makes sense.

Thanks Alan

Well I like it

How much was it in the end?
Also, is that hanger strong enough?
Looks pretty flimsy imo, especially as you've now lost the additional mounting point under the footrest

And yes, it WILL look much better with a nice neat undertray rather than the black plastic spinnaker that comes as standard
I've got an inferiority complex
But its not a very good one!

all told it cost £70

the high levels were never mounted to the fixing point under the peg, and the piece of metal holding it is quite sturdy to be fair.

hence why i need to know if the SP hangers are the same "width" on the mounting holes as my old hangers are now too big :(
