So want to buy this myself, but I'm having enough fun and games trying to sort my fuelling out without adding a single side exhaust to the misery!

Seller is a top bloke (Rob de Hoo) too and postage from the Netherlands is very reasonable.

99p start though so may be a bargain.

Better to make all your changes THEN sort the fuelling, Mark.
Otherwise you spend ages getting it right then change something and have to start again.

Anyway, if you want a single sider, just fit a cap on the unused one. I used the cut-off bottom of an old deodorant can when I tried it a while back, painted with exhaust paint.

Looking at Rob's one it has a larger link pipe section post-collector, so it's a bit more sophisticated than just sealing off one side, but the "bodge" version still works quite well.

If you want the RH side as the can side, you'll have to clean the intruding bit of pipe out of the collector (look down into the collector with the RH link pipe or can off to see what I mean).
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

That's in bad shape and only worth 10p !
It'll take a far bit of work to get that looking good , be a good winter project for someone who has the time

It's an easy fix.
Glass in some stainless penny washers, use a smoothing filler coat and spray.
A couple of hours work and it'll be fine, but only if the brackets come with it....

probably too embarrassed to be seen out on a teal bike, hence the low mileage and showroom condition :) :D
