| pete are the links pipes 45 to 50mm ?? measured the inside diameter and it is 45mm the outside diameter of my collector pipes is 45mm cleaned up all the pipes with emery cloth and autosol and they are sparkly clean i think maybe the connection between the link pipes and collector pipes on a bip are different to a 748r ?? i'll post a couple of pics of how far i got the pipes on .
bike is back to standard now it only took 10 mins to get the original pipes on they just slipped on nicely so i think something is amiss somewhere |
