There appear to be lots of cheap race cans out there for the 600SS (around £100)

Does anyone have a source for the connecting pipe to make them high-level?

cheers, Chi

Hi Chi,

Mines got what appears to be a home made job connecting a distinctly non-standard can to the two-into-one manifold. You're welcome to borrow it for a week to have another made up from it. I'll take photos when I get the bike on Saturday.

Cheers,

ali

might just take you up on that Ali - I'll see what kind of deal I can get on a can first as it might be a different length to yours.

5 minutes with a pipe bender and the right size piece of steel pipe?

Sounds like a job for American Chopper if you ask me!

I'm quite happy to subcontract the job if you're offering!

I don't have a pipe bender, but I've got a big hammer if that's any help?

I've got my own hammer thanks, but feel free to chip in if you think it will help!

I have actually just ordered a cheapo ART can that is a straight swap for the existing one. Any recommendations for a place that really can make up a connecting pipe?

[antonye]

I would think that any "custom" motorcycle place should be able to do that for you - find one local and phone them for a chat.

If not, you may get lucky with some bits of universal exhaust in the right diameter. I know you can get these for cars for linking up custom/competition exhaust systems so you may well be able to get the correct angles and bodge it all together. Try somewhere like http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/ ?

I've just had a chat to the guys at Zorstec as they seem to know their stuff:
http://www.zorstec.net/main.htm

They can make us up high level link pipes which would fit between the original headers and cans (you'd just need to sort the can mounts) for around 100 quid for a twin system, or less if you've got a two-into-one.

This is a specially negotiated (by me!) club discount price and we'd need to get at least ten orders for this.

'm assuming that a monster and SS would not be that much different?

Anyone interested? How does it compare for cost?

Chi, I'd imagine Renegade down at Brands would be able to help.
