Hi,

What does "mit ABE passend" mean in an ad for an exhaust can?
Does it mean it's a road/race use silencer? Unfortunately Google can't help me about the "ABE" stuff.

Thanks in advance for your help...

[Felix]

It means it's road legal in Germany.

[Tonio600]

Cheers Felix.

I was thinking about biding on this:

to fit it on my DD bike. Any idea how I could make it "race legal"?

(please please nobody bids on it, I'm French I'm poor )

[Tonio600]

Btw, I'm looking for 1 RH cheap race can in good condition (by example you crashed the LH one...), for any Ducati model, I want to be creative

Yeah I used Google it works in the same way. But I don't think Babelfish would have given me the definition of ABE which was my real problem.

Cheers.

Hi,

It seems that monster silencers will also work for a carb'ed bike according to this thread:

http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm....php?tid=21086

They do seem to go for quite a bit - as I've been wanting some low level (prefer Road legal but not essential) can for my 93 900ss.

Here are some others on Ebay:

Just around the corner from me

Good luck

wahoo
Cheers for all that Iconic, I'll keep an eye on them... just in case their price don't raise too much

Tonio,

Are you just looking for any can, or a specific can to fit your pipework? The one in Germany is an original and bloody heavy! I can't imagine that carrying two of them on the back of your bike is good for acceleration....

I'd recommend trying any autojumble. I saw loads of pairs of carbon cans for about £70-90 at the last BMF. Not too pretty, but miles lighter.

Cheers,

Ali

cheers Ali, I think I will go for a carbon one I could find on Ebay. But only 1, not 2
