Exhaust
I have read with great interest the various exchanges on the Due forum. I may have missed it but I don't recall any discussion on the different exhausts. Twin or 2 into 1. From a practical point does any one know how easy/difficult it would be to fit a 748 set of Termis to a 600ss

from a weight point of view a 2 into 1 makes the most sense.

Also, as most crashes tend to be on the right hand side, a two into one exiting on the left could save you buying a new can during the season. ...

Or it may not

to answer the question, yes - it is possible to fit Superbike exhausts onto an SS.

Several things to think about;
1) The seat unit will have to be changed (probably to a sbk unit) as there is not enough clearance under the standard seat.
2) You have to relocate the oil breather catch tank (which must be kept on for desmodue, but could be removed for the road).
3) The extra pipework will add weight (as well as having 2 cans instead of 1).

If you must do it, it will look like the picture below (yes, yes, I know I've posted it a million times but I won't have any new ones until she comes back) - but the cost of doing it is going to be more than the bike is worth.

Much easier/cheaper to get a two-into-one and high-level link pipe.

Was thinking about this after lunch yesterday - it's probably better to replace the end can than a damaged frame.
As a direct result of my analysis, I'm going to place 6 end cans strategically around the bike and play dodgems!
