Hey all,

Just wondered how much modification is needed to get a curvy full M4 system onto a pointy? Looking for a track bike so it wouldn't necc. have to pretty...

Cheers,
Dave

The front downpipes on the OEM systems were a slightly different angle to clear the oil cooler (which the curvys don't have). No idea if this translates out to the M4 systems though.

Paging YC!

I think it will be a squeeze unless you reposition and extend it the cooler lines.
Its easier to see/ explain when its on a bike

yeah, just hunting through some internet piccies, see if I can find the right ones... Looks like the only way I'll know for sure is by offering it up, in which case I'll have to buy it first!

Am i right in thinking the exhuast ports, etc. are all in the same place in relation to the frame and swing arm? Thinking all I would have to do is add a bit more of a bend?
Or should I just wait for a pointy full system to come up?

Found these:
Full Leo on pointy

full M4 on pointy

curvy std pipes

curvy micron full system

m4 on curvy

The M4 on the curvy seems to go round the oil filter on the other side... maybe I could get a curvy micron to fit...

As has been said before: Anything will fit anything if you really want to - how determined and capable are you?

Looking at the bottom pic of the M4 on the blue bike, I don't think it will clear the oil cooler.
But unless and until someone actually tries it, we won't really know if the pipe and/or cooler might easily be altered/moved to make it happen.

determined yes, capable... hmmm. No welding talent though.

Have my eye on a pointy system so will see how expensive it gets...
