Need a Complete Exhaust for my Curvy

[Spiral]

The exhaust on my 2000 curvy has had it & it needs replacing, only the end can is OK. There are endless end can options but for a complete system there only seems to be the Delkevic twin pipe set up, which I'm not that keen on.

There are de-cat systems for the newer models & I'm wondering if anyone has fitted one of these to a curvy ?

Anyone found a solution to this problem or got a system for sale ?

I have a complete OEM curvy system, the headers are good, just need a good polish and the end can is immaculate.

You'd need to cut it to fit an end can

I had a Micron full system, but they're not available. Your only other option is to get a system made up, which would be expensive

Thanks for the reply, how much do you want for it plus postage ?

I was hoping to bling the bike up a bit with a new system, they are available for newer models of the SV & V-strom, I've contacted a manufacturer to see if either of those systems will fit seeing as it's the same motor more or less.

The problem is that the later models have an oil cooler and different frames, which is why the curvy isn't listed as a fitment for these systems.

I'll find out what it'll cost to post it, as it's a blooming awkward shape to post. I don't want much, as I sold my curvy two years ago :-(

That's what seems odd, if the older models were the ones with oil coolers then there would be something in the way, but the older ones are simpler, ah well.

Please let me know what you want for the exhaust & we'll switch to private messaging about payment, do you have paypal ?

Ps can do bank transfer too, brain kinda stalls after realising cheque books aren't a thing any more :|

Will do

I'm working away until the weekend, so won't get a chance to do anything until then

That's fine, it's going to be a big job, the front studs are rusted beyond recognition.

Having had some time to think & look around I think I'll take the opportunity to add a throatier & cooler looking end can, so if you want to cut the can off it will be easier to box up & post, I'm still very keen to buy.

Okie dokie, that will make posting it much easier, and cheaper!

I'll get round to it and let you know this week

The studs/nuts on mine are a mess, would utilising a nut splitter or a Dremel leaving the studs exposed be any good?. I dare not try with a spanner!

Start soaking them in penetrating fluid many days before and keep topping it up. Also try running the bike up to temps and getting the engine hot to aid the bolts coming out (best way is to work them anti-clock, then again back clockwise and walk them out bit by bit). Adding some heat/penetrating fluid as you go.
In the end they may still snap off, but its best to have as little in there as possible if they do. Its pretty accessible to drill them out (on the front) if it does go a bit wrong.

You still have recogisable nuts left ? More than I've got lol. If the studs are ok then yeah try get the nuts off. Sockets are better than spanners & most people think plusgas is better then WD40 for penetration of really stubborn nuts & bolts.

If removing the nuts take your time & be really steady to preserve the thread on the studs.

I'm going to try arc welding nuts on my studs, the heat can do wonders & I might be able to get them out, maybe with an impact driver (dewalt 18v), failing that I have to drill them out & retap the holes.....
