Thanks Lee, recieved yesterday, fitted today. I've had to move my indicators & it was a bugger to fit, but it's now on. Trouble is, I don't know if I like it now :(
I'll see if it grows on me.

my indicators didnt need to be moved with a high level can, though it is a blue flame. May be worth putting the pillion footrests back on as they help to protect the can in an off.

I would chop the can in half. It'll look better, get rid of the dent, won't foul the indi, and sound better :thumbsup:

chop off about three inches, and make it nice n tidy, in fact just chop it to the end right of the Fuel logo, would be a nice place to stop. Mines about that length, then the indies just sit a fag papers width off the outlet.

Yeh 1up to all above, it's too long, but it could look great ;) Kinda brave going high level, i'm not sure if it works on a curvy, we'll see! WIP i hope.

It works very well on a curvy.....mines been there for a year or three now.
My link pipes a bit different, but it was a custom pipe, it curves right up, so that the can just clears the rails on the subframe, stops just short of the plastics melting:smt120

I hate to say it.... but isnt that link pipe upside down...?
The heat shield is supposed to be by your boot...

possibly Speedplay, but then theres no pillion pegs in the pic, so if there was, would it protect the pillions boots?

Who cares about the pillions boots?! ;)

Usually the rider spends more time on it than the pillion ;)

this is true, which is why I took off my pillion pegs, and put seat cowls on both bikes. to stop anyone asking me for a lift..... ever:lol:

Oh nice! I'd be constantly worried about melting things but gotta live on the edge eh.

I do think that can would look nice about 1/3 the length anyway :)

its been done properly, never had a worry about melting things:???: I bought the bike because I was so impressed with the pipe, amongst other things.
Its not as bad as it sounds, theres room for bungees, which is very important for me.

BTW there is a pic of it in my profile albums

Thingus

Agreed, that does look good.

I hadn't seen that album either it's hidden away below the other two, haha.

The pipe wont fit on the other way, I've tried it.

I am going to Stubby it, then it might grow on me. I love the sound of it tho, so it might stay instead of going low again :)

I haven't taken it on the road yet, but started it in the yard & I think my neighbours are going to be complaining at 7.15 in the morning ;)

Tyres are goosed & need a new pair. I leave the heroics for the track after nearly killing myself on the road last year being a pen1s :)

Ones next door are fine, they are Polish, so they have regular late night sessions. I never complain, so I dont think they mind the bike

did you buy from Beowulf direct?


Phone Beowulf, they do them.

reason I ask(as i'm not sure if they stock hi levels or they make them),my other half popped down to see the guy who runs Beowulf a week or so back, he so snowed under that he couldn't do him a link pipe. Beowulf has got extremely popular recently :cool: I'm not surprised!

My warrior's getting dispatched tommorow and arriving wednesday... I just want to upgrade to a high level pipe later.. I like the shape of the warrior..

dizzyblonde
25-05-09, 07:15 PM
its a great shape, and its got a lovely note to it.
I know you really will be satisfied with it :-)

I reckon if you don't mind waiting, Andy will do you a hi level link.

Was told to phone back in 4-5 weeks if I was wanting a high level.
And if I remember rightly, at a very good price.

I had a tail tidy on, so thats why I had to move mine. I would have thought that it would be a fairly simple fit on a standard SV
