Don't sell it, it's a really good can. A bit of effort will buff the stamp off. Mine used to say the same but now it's just extra shiney.

The Yamaha SZR660 has a BS stamped can, stainless steel external and internals, it is Lafranconi (so slightly louder), slightly lighter (but not by much), needs no rejetting, is the correct diameter and only needs the manufacture of a simple bracket to fit.
Owners of SZRs always fit aftermarket cans to make the back end look slightly less ugly, so the standard can can be picked up on e-bay quite cheap, mine cost £1.75.
Also fits the XTZ660 (old model).

Hi shifty, I have the chance of an szr660 end can from a 97 bike (not as cheap as you got yours unfortunatly but a lot cheaper than most aftermarket cans). Mine is a 1996 XT and was wondering, is its just a case of slipping the szr can onto the existing exhaust and making up a bracket to hang it and are there any other issues with the rear bodywork fouling or does it sit at the correct angle etc?

Szr
 
Hi Elv, fits straight onto link pipe, as long as you are on standard tyres there is loads of clearance, bodywork not a problem. You need to fabricate a short (about 75mm) drop bracket preferably with 15-30 degree kink at the end to rotate the can for godd alignment. Only get it if it is really cheap though, I picked an arrow can off e-bay for £30 recently and that is massively lighter than original and SZR can.

Thanks for the info shifty. The SZR can is actually on ebay but the guy is asking £50. Emailed him with a lower offer but he's not interested so I think i'll just leave it for now and see what else comes up.

Thanks for the advice!:thumbup1:

I'd like to know where you guys get your friends from! I was following this item on eBay (Arrow can for XT600E), and it went for nearly £130.

If anyone knows one for a fiver, perhaps they could give me a shout!

shifty 19 Jan 2009 19:00

Right time, right place.
 
You just have to rely on luck, mine was a used Arrow can, buy it now for £38 inc post. It had only been on there an hour, those sort of deals you are never aware of because they disappear so quick.

I'd say that £130 odd quid is way too expensive for a secondhand Arrow Can! What idiot paid that? A fair price would be about £80 tops...

Goes to prove that Fleabay CAN often be a rip off. Personally I have had so many problems with delivery that I no longer use it.

It is sometimes fun to watch these overpriced items and see what they go for, in comparison with how much they are new from a stockist. I have regularly seen things (such as spares for Series Land Rovers) go for twice what you can get them for from an independent dealer. I think the words 'rare' or 'hard-to-find' seem to give some people auction fever and bypass their common sense.

I just put on the CZR kit that i bought off Ebay. It fit nicely, looks to be made well, but is LOUD. It's no louder than all the Harleys with straight pipes that run around by me but where noise is a concern this is not the exhaust for you. I like the "loud pipes save's lives" approach so I'm cool with it. What a difference in air flow compared to the stock can. Should help in the power output over factory. Won't know until spring when the snow melts.

That is the one I have got and it is a nice barky pipe for traffic (let them know you are there) without upsetting the public. The old boys look round thinking its and old british bike sometimes.

BlackDogZulu 4 Feb 2009 14:08

Nice :) My can is a Micron, and that has a nice bark to it. Not too loud, but with a nice edge when you open it up. If I take the pretty way home from work, I go under a railway bridge. I always open it up fully while passing under the bridge - only for a moment, but it sounds like a Proper British Motorbike too. Blat, blat, duff, duff.
