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...

It means it's road legal in Germany.

Cheers Felix.

I was thinking about biding on this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8007716921&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

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

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

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 :D

Yeah I used Google it works in the same way. But I don't think Babelfish would have given me the definition of ABE :puzzled: 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/xmb/viewthread.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:

900 monster parts for sale - your need seems greater than mine - go for it:

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

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 ;)
