    Cheapest replacement exhaust for RD07 ??

    Well... Mines pretty rotten and weighs a ton !!

    I'm not bothered about anything as long as its cheap and fruity but still road legal.

    You could make up your own - I did for my RD04 for less than £40!

    I bought an end can on ebay (anything would do - mine was a Carbon Can Co.) and a standard exhaust bend for a car in stainless also from ebay. Added a couple of stainless clamps and job done

    Cheapest replacement is probably a second-hand original pipe - if you can find one that's still in good condition.

    i actually bought a standard replacement and downpipes for £30 (bargain eh). Was in good condition for 10 years old too.

    It's still an ugly heavy lump though so Im looking for something a little bit nicer.

    I just may end up making a pipe to fit an Ebay can..

    I cant find ANYONE who sells Motad for the AT. Their website doesnt even list the AT as a covered model

    First check out eBay they were selling them off there as discontinued -failing that ring them. They say they are for older ATs but they fit fine - check out my posting elsewhere on site.

    The black stain at the botom of the link pipe is the leg of my trousers - note to self: Make a heat guard!



    I made the can sit a little lower than standard, and a litle further in, so I could get my panniers even on either side.
