Right boys & girls, can you please let me know what cans you have and if you've ever checked, wjat diameter the link pipes are or the end can inlets are where they meet?
I think I'm going to go the universal route and have some link pipes made up seeing as they are only short.
Any help would be much appreciated and will be reciprocal - when I get this sorted, i will have some extras made up and can offer them on to other forum members hopefully.
Cheers, Jay.
Cans...

Are all of them link pipes fixed permanently to the cans though? Cause if I saw some blue flames for another bike, I could have them and get some link pipes from them.
I was hoping to be able to get them copied when I get some.

No on Blueflames the link pipes are seperate, I think it's the same for most aftermarket cans other than the genuine Prilla replacements.

I think the cans are the same no matter which bike (at least for Blueflames, but I'm guessing for others like Scorpion etc), and the link-pipes are all that differentiates
I've got Blueflames, came with the link pipes. You may be able to buy them individually from the supplier, but I've never tried myself

£80?! robbers! LOL
I've found a set for about £50-£60 and am keeping my eyes peeled for some cans, but it's hard cause the majority of bikes have 1 can.
I agree that most cans are pretty much the saame, just depends on the inlet diameter, does anyone know the size of their 'Flames?

I fear the basics of zaust design let alone the intricacies are being somewhat overlooked here, but not being an expert I'll keep schtum.

I'm not on about copying and trying to hand-build some cans, just the link pipes, they are only about 6 inches long after all?
I'll probably give up and dig deep for some in the end, but a guys gotta try and save some dosh now and then.
Maybe i'm being mis-understod.

I was thinking more along the lines of the system, and cans, being tuned to the particular bike rather than any make of bike.
