    New can!

    Ofter a year or so of storage, I finally got me butt into gear and had the Motad Venom can from ebay measured up for a link pipe.

    Here's the end result.....








    I have not yet 'found time' to put the baffles in - it sounds well fruity

    Oh, I also need to stop it melting the indicator......

    BT, I think all the Venoms are the same, this one was destined for an NC30 and was cheaper than the AT cans at £35.
    I had to strip it down & shorten it by about 3" to get it to sit where I wanted - should have bought a short one from the off!


    Oh, & John, it's all very childish this - 'my bike is louder than yours malarkey'





















    You should know that mine will be louder

    where did you get the link pipe made Phil?

    If anyone is interested I have a new, unfitted, in the box Venom end can and a link pipe for a Suzuki 600 thing that I will sell. If you are cleverer than me at metal bashing and bending it could be a good zorst for not a lot of money. Ummmmm £50 + p&p OK?
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    Austin, at the Gmex show there is a place locally that does custom bikes & stuff, they did the link pipe, turned out to be a bit pricey (£80) for a moderate job, with hindsight I'd go to a dedicated exhaust builder.
