Different Collars!

[Cornish Duke]

Hi

I wonder if you big boys can help......
The collars on the downpipes on a 900ss are 15mm shorter than on a 600ss.
I'm replacing my 600 pipes with the 900 and wondered how I can get around this.
Also, I assume I need to cut and shut the 900's a little to make them fit, does anyone out there know by how much?

For the collers just get the internal and external diameters that you require and cut them in half and place them behind the secured 900 ones to make up the thickness difference

Thanks Ghost, will give it a bash!!

you do also need to cut and shut the 900 ones i have done it for my DD bike, its just the angle it goes into the head..

..Did you get my last PM about the headders? all done, aparently they look fine, just need to collect them from the factory, they look fine to aparently.

Now that may just be verbal shorthand, Ollie, but just so that people don't get the wrong impression.....

I remember the weekend well....it was a time of cold weather, multiple offerings-up and frayed tempers. I dimly recall the odd profanity, too. However, in the end, the technical expertise for cutting and shutting the headers on the labour of love/money pit which is our DD bike #42 was provided by Ollie's Dad, David. And bloody grateful we are too.
Thanks again, David .
