Second gen bikes have different diameter link pipes (larger if I recall) - you will need to get some made up to mate the cans to your pipes

Yep it's fabrication time


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Measure the diameter difference it may be possible to get them machined if its only a mil or two ?
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
