Nice :)

Looks like you need to twist the link pipe to get that exhaust sitting parallel with the tail

Thanks,

I've tried to twist the can round already matey, if I twist it any further it doesnt fit on the bracket, I'm umming about taking it to be bent a little more but unsure where to get it done.
Any ideas?

Anywhere that does custom car exhausts will have a pipe bender, can you not slide it down a bit further at the bottom joint? Mine was a bit of a pig to line up (CCC can) but I got it there eventually.

Tidy looking bike though, I do like that black bodied can.


Part of your trouble is the Blue Flame ovals are an oddball size, Ive just repaired one from a mates bike that had been fitted with a strap which was too small and pinched the can... Its 220mm long now and was a sod to do, 372mm arround or about 120mm diameter, ordered a 370 strap for it and will see how it goes.

Is your strap a bit on the 'baggy' side, or is it just the pics?

Which HIDs did you get? Very tempted but think the big lenses will throw the light all over the place - find the adjustment was fiddly enough with +50% bulbs!

I had similar problem with my tri oval scorpion can I had on my pointy, you couldn't get it any closer with the link pipe supplied, I spent ages trying all different combos, I just got it best I could and left it, didn't bother me that much tbh as it sounded so good :)


Looks like the paintwork could do with a buff and waxing, red is terrible for that.

thanks for the comments.

stonesie; the strap fits faily snug, i think you can just see the shadow from the passenger footpeg, at least thats what you can see in the first pic.

MCJ-DEV; i went with H4 6000k, the whitest you can get. i did need to get the height adjusted at an MOT station, but they did it for free cos i asked nicely. lol. (i didnt even need to do sexual favours either!)

Specialone; thanks mate, a t-cut and polish is next on the to-do list. today was just such a nice day so thought i'd take a few piccies...
