and yes - the exhausts do work - i have used renegade high mounts from a mille on mine

the job to fit them is straight forward - you need a full mille set of headers and collector box, as well as the actual cans

(Oh - make sure you get one of the later mid sections - just incase you go for the modded mid pipe in the future.)

you will also need an rsv oil tank - you can make that fit onto the standard falco oil cooler with a replacement length of oil pipe, or you can fit a mille cooler.

you will need to dremel out 3/8 inch off your skidmarx belly pan on the left side - very easy job - and it is obvious where it needs a trim!

alternatively, you could look around for a set of falco high mount canns - they do exist

finally, if you look over in the coventry area, there may be a chap over that way with a spare set of interesting exhausts - look for 55 year old male, answers to the name of badger....
Ok, thanks...will have to wait and see, OZ wheels are really my next priority, if i did go down this route i'd just buy the right stuff and hand it over to my mechanic in Tamworth :smt004

Still anxiously awaiting pics of your fettling Pete!!!

Alternatively he could pop over to Coventry to see my bike.
Not sure I'll be as useful as this other chap as I'm a bit younger and that is one of the few names I don't answer to .... but I do have a bike with a Mille exhaust
:smt003

I don't have a spare set though ..... but I know a man in Coventry who has (which has the earlier mid section - though really that is no problem)

Not definitely - there is a lead contender but maybe neither
