Well, after some deliberation I decided to but an inexpensive road legal silencer and link pipe from Delkevic for my 8fiddly.

http://www.delkevic....eel_tdm850_9100

Cost was £125 delivered and I received it in under 24 hours

Fitting it turned out to be a feckin' t**t ! The main culprit was the existing headers (delkevic) I have, they were virtually touching the engine and by the time I'd fitted the rest, the rear brake lever was hitting the link pipe.

So, I hit the fecka wiv a big hammer ! slightly flattening the part of the downpipe closest to the engine, and it did the trick.
The can material is quite thick and has a nice weighty feel, the finish on the end part is a bit rough though and I suspect it'll probably go rusty in time. The link pipe has a reasonable finish but not as highly polished as the can is.
The sound is just about right, fruity with the baffle in and not too loud, haven't tried the baffle out. Gonna go ferra blast later to see if it's lost/gained any power.
I'll post up a piccy later !

For the price, you can't go wrong

Sorry Charlie, I found the pro stocks too noisy for everyday trips into town etc, half the street were turning their heads I'm reliably informed that these are race cans, they were also making the bike run hotter and there was a lack of oomph under 4000rpm. I'll bring 'em back over to you sometime soon matey

Good jawb SR. Whats goin on wid yer multi colour seat? Loike dat.

[Studley Ramrod]

It's Skippy's seat of his red mk2a, I swapped the seat that came with the bike for it. The old seat was too high fer me.

tbh I don't really like it lookswise but I can get me feet down mush better. Anyone wanna swap ?

Just fitted the tank cover to fit a tank bag but the bar risers mean the bars are snagging on the bag Just bought a sat nav bag mount doohickey so will take the cover off and use the mount instead.

Nice I'm tempted to get the carbon one does it come with baffle ? Listing on e bay says no baffle ?

[Studley Ramrod]

Got mine direct from the site Matt Payed with paypal and didn't even have to fill in any address details...simples !

They do a few shapes/lengths and finishes for the 8fiddly, all are road legal with removable baffle http://www.delkevic....silencers_hl3s5

Strange eBay ones must be buggered ones lol
The guy Ron from delkevic wants me to call him on Wednesday :-$
I asked him if I could have discount on a system because I work for Honda :-) he may wanna do a deal

Nice one

Remember the rule though, no pics then it didn't happen

[apw99]

Thats a really neat can SR, I think when mine finally gives up the ghost, which is very soon as the downpipe has a hole at the starship, I will probably go for one of those.
Good job

I've got two viper cans and pipework coming I will try polishing that and fitting it before I get a new one :-)

That's a tidy looking bike Ian, did you manage to do anything about your scratches?

Hi
I fitted the Delkevic oval 350mm just 2 months ago. Great rrrroar.
Took me 10 minuttes - including ripping the enterprise off. It fits like a glove.
Then again - I used the original downpipes.
Got a nice weightloss as well. about 6,5 kg lighter.
Btw: how do you get the wifes melted boot of the zoorst?

Pick pick pick

Do it cold, not hot as it just smears and makes it worse.

There are some thinners that will work but I never found them. Just polish of the stain when done picking.

I hid them under the tank cover

Only kidding, decided to leave all the painting stuff for winter fettlin' Frame needs touching up as does the swingarm.
