Just has a matter of interest is there any reason the collector pipes are a certain length.
Is it to balance the amount of gas flowing from each cylinder?
I am wondering if the back cylinder down pipe was re routed not to go through the swingarm but curled up and under the seat then that would leave room for the front pipe to come up through the swingarm and make it so an under seat exsaust could be made...
The only other issues i think would be to sort out the number plate mounting bracket, and to find a pair of silencers small enough to fit.
Any ideas on the above

Short answer is yes.

Exhaust header length is set to suit many factors, valve size, duration etc.

And as I said on the phone - back pressure etc...

This was posted before our phone conversation pete

I was fettling.....

Ah yes - but you solved that by raising your clipons above the top yoke

The closest you're going to get is the hilevels that tuck under the side of the seat unit.

Jorge spent an age trying to make something work.

I am looking at this from a fabricator point of view, with the thought of anything is possible. I have a plan that will be next winters project.
I know it will have to be a 2 into 1 into 2 set up. When i get that far the silencers will be the issue with clearance but yet again i have a plan with that also sooooo
