Changed my can as well...
Mainly so I could fit the panniers in nice and tight. I used my KLE for commuting (lots of filtering) and the only real problem was not being able to fit the centre stand with this exhaust. The can is right-hand side from an XJR1200, nos cheap on ebay.
Cheers, Richard.

hey wobbly,

Nice silencer - great idea for fitting the panniers. What's it sound like?

I ended up mounting a bracket to keep my soft panniers from touching my silencer.

I've been struggling to find replacement headers and have just seen these on eBay - handy for when my headers succumb to rust!

Hi Roy
It sounded like a normal jap bike bike, too damn quiet!
The pipes from sandybikespares look good. I've used their downpipes on my 600 fazer and an 600 diversion at work with no probs. The only issue would be if you to use a centre stand, best check before you buy any.

Cheers, Richard.
