Link pipes from '04 RSV

#1 Post by arizonabay » Sun Jun 20, 2010 2:07 pm

At the risk of inviting additional bidders, can the techies confirm whether the link pipes for an '04 rsv will fit a Falco.

I am interested in these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0444325665 but need to know if they are suitable before I go ahead and buy. The guy selling does't know.

Cheers

No, they are a different diameter - though you may be able to get some made up that will match between Falco headers and these cans.

Cheers D-rider.

The slip on's will do though, yes?

Only if they are Falco size cans inlets. I believe those akras will need special links to fit on a Falco.

nod

not straight forward


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...

Indeed - but not really Falco compatible as the bits are for the new shape RSVR .... for example the power commander won't be any good as the newer RSVR uses a different ECU (the old Mille ones are OK with a suitable map)

Get a local exhaust/metal fab shop to make some link pipes up. Costs me about £70 a link pipe normally

Thanks for the link tho, am watching the airbox and pc3 unless someone else wants them ?
