Link Pipes

[mac]

Just bought a Scorpion Carbon fibre exhaust for a K5SVs ( got a good deal in the small ads section of the local rag - 60 quid for a road legal brand new can ) But didnt get a link pipe for it - rang Seastar bikes ( local Scorpion dealer ) who told me that Scorpion dont sell link pipes seperately and i would have to buy another can to get the pipe.

Is this true ? ( or just sales banter )

Would appreciate the help as my bargain from yesterday is looking worse today - LOL

Cheers ...........

i recon you could get another link pipe from any other comany.

try scouring breakers yards and stuff - end of the day (apart from it getting dark)

most of them have the same diamater link pipe- and as most cans are round and the same sorta size, i recon it would fit.

but wait for someone more knowledgable to come along and correct me before you start the cutting (i could be wrong on this one)

Seastar told me the same thing as well.

Have a wee chat with CCC, they sold me their high level kit seperately. I can't say if it'll fit or not though.

Tis true, Scorpion dont sell link pipes separetely, i asked one of the guys selling them at a british superbikes event. Sounds like they're missing out on some bees knees.

they told me the same thing when i swopped my first sv to a cbr and i wanted to fit the race can on the cbr but i got a viper link pipe (£15 i think) in the end same size as scorpion but i am not sure they do one for the k5 but may be worth asking

I have a ccc low level link pipe, see the photo section for the reason why http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=25890, you may wish to confirm the diameter at the can end though!

You could always have a word with Jorge at Renegade, he'd probably knock you one up for about £20 or so...
