Punt! Ooh-er, that sounds a bit rude!

Well, as part of my week of modding (I have the week off - hooray), my 2-1 high level exhaust should be going on ... and I'm reasonably confident that I'll be able to mount my panniers with it in situ ..... and if I can't I've also got a standard mount link pipe to use in such situations.

Maybe not so different Pete except I'll only be lugging a single can around.

but, time to put you out of your misery

i have been looking at high exhausts and that got me thinking - i like the idea and look, but they are not practical for carrying a pillion and luggage

SO

I got creative and realised that I have a perfectly good set of blue flame end cans

and I worked out how I can suspend them safely

so, on monday I am off to meet a chap who, hopefully, will be making me some pipes to go from the existing down pipes, up to mount the exhausts under the seat/saddle

I think that this will cost around 50 quid all in

so, when going touring etc I can use the cans as normal, for normal blatting around, I put the high pipes on

I really am surprised no one else has done this... but, I reckoned it worth a punt

like this?

or do you mean underseats proper?

Renegade have been doing hilevels for Falcos for years but underseats.. the linkpipes are a nightmare
Are you on about doing away with the collector box?

Aye, I know rene and a few other companies have been doing them, but I am a very careful red sea pedestrian

a rene system is a lot of cash, and not the kind of cash I have spare

But I do like the look of it

I looked at the rene system very closely and noticed a few things about it.

The rene collector box was, if i have got this right, put in the system to avoid the use of a power commander- with one, it should not be necessary I hope

basically I am going to get a set of link pipes made that will turn my standard cans into high levels

What's all this collector box bollox! I thought the Rene's comprised of link pipes and cans straight from the existing mid section.

The pipes meet in the mid section, but I'm not sure if there's a connection between them, is that what you're on about?

There is NO collector box on the high level Rene's. As Dale says, the link pipes connect to the existing pipework.

Aaaah.... *cough* anti *cough* climax *cough*

Now if you said you were going with a 2-1 GP-style stubby exhaust or a underslung exhaust ala the new KTM RC8 (and kinda like the new Fireblade) then I would have been impressed

Renegade headers do have a kind of collector box, at least mine do. It's just a simple bit of welding where the headers meet rather than the 'colon' of the stock system.

.... but hardly a collector BOX is it ?!!

..loose terminology...

I meant where the pipes come in together, where other bikes have a collector box..

'kin 'ell no wonder you wan't to mount the indicators as flush as possible stop them getting ripped off.
