K4 Exhaust on a K3 - OK?

I am just in the throws of purchasing a tri-oval CCC exhaust for my K3. The can is off of a K4, they are the same right?

Also there are no instructions for fitting it and as previous posts will testify, I am a total K-N-O-B when it comes to bike DIY, although I do have a tail tidy under my belt now. Can anyone advise me on how to fit it?

Cheers in advance,

Kev

i think the subframe changed between 03 and 04, so the pillion peg might be in a different position...

So I may be stuck with a can that won't fit and no instructions? I have tried calling CCC but no answer.

Can anyone else confirm?

I'd have thought the can would be fine, but the link pipe may well not be. CCC are your best port of call as they know all their part numbers etc.

In future check first, buy 2nd

Can it be made to fit?

No answer at CCC?

Still no answer, but on their Ebay shop there are SV650 cans and they do not state which model number they are for, is that a good sign or a bad sign.

Most sites state which version they are for so is it a universal one? Is there such a thing?

I think it would be ok; you can always fabricate a bracket if it all dosnt quite match up. The engines are all the same, so fueling shouldnt be an issue

Anything can be made to fit

Fabricate a bracket - now that really is out of my area of skills.

It should fit, other exhaust manufacturers do not seperate the K3 from the K4+ in their range. I would say it should fit, the downpipes are the same and the exhaust can is the same its just the angle of the subframe that changed! Plus if you are using the OEM can hanger anyway there is no need to mod anything.
