Got myself a high level link pipe care of Stormspiel unfortunately it's a little small at the header end and it leaks a little too much so I'm getting it re-sleeved care of my dad (aren't dads great? :D )

In the meantime, I popped the old low level pipe back on but with a slight twist. I quite like it to be honest, and am in two minds whether to leave as is or put the high level pipe back on once it's been re-sleeved.

I like it to. Too many people going around with "perfect" high or low level cans. This stands out and for the right reasons too. :thumbsup:

What mirrors are those you've got fitted?

I done that already, except it was pointing down and was helped into that position by an armco.

Mirrors are from Busters, they're these ones (http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=SK301501) if that link works.

Although I bought them from Noufy, a friendly forum member.

Belly pan is Skidmarx, undertray is Powerbronze, crash bungs are Motosliders, seat cowl is Pyramid just to try and pre-empt some other quesitons. And the number plate bracket is brand Jase22 ie custom-made by me :D :D

Whats the fit and finish like on the seat cowl? I'm just on the verge of getting one.

Looking good Jase. I really like the look of the can. :thumbsup:

Looking smart mate. Very smart.

Just scrub the blue coating off the can though! :D

Would look even better then!

I think to finally finish it off the rear end could do with looking a little higher? Jack up kit?

Me too. Looks better if there's 2 tho, IMO.

I was a little disappointed with the fit of the cowl, but it's livable. The finish on it isn't bad, it's a good colour match but the colour isn't as "deep" as the standard Suzuki bits. It could probably do with another couple of coats of laquer to be honest. But with a good wax it doesn't look so bad. I like the shape of it more than anything, seems to go well with the bike.

Yes I know that can is a little bit cheese, I didn't put it on though and I have never got round to swapping it. Agreed it wants to be either silver finish or black.

I did fit a jack up kit to lift the rear slightly, but I realised that the ZX6 shock that's in there is slightly shorter than the stock item so it's kind of just brought the height back to stock. I am looking to fit some shorter dog bones though as I thought it needed lifting a touch, shouldn't play too much havoc with handling with the suspension being uprated.

Jase (or anyone else for that matter), this may sound a bit silly, but is that the standard hangar on the rear? I would like to do this exhaust mod to my curvy (CCC slip on can) but have the standard hanger for the rear footrest/exhaust support.

Is it just a case of simply 'twisting' around the link pipe and voi-la? Or is there more trickery involved?!

Thanks

The can hanger is actually a Blue Flame high-level hanger. It’s a pretty straight forward hanger though, which I’m sure you’d be able to make yourself. Or you could try contacting Blue Flame and seeing if they sell the hanger by itself? I actually got my hanger from Stormspiel as he had a spare.
