Who can shrink my zorst?

[MikeyC]

Got a scorpion jobby on at the mo, but want a shorter, louder 'mini-me' version of it... how do I go about getting this done? There's no custom zorst places near me

Dodgy pic I know, I was in fits of laughter from the guys taking the pics, so excuse me!

You sit wayyyyy to far forward.

Mike, how is the end of it held on, welded or rivets?

PS: Why are you sitting on the tank!?

[MikeyC]

I was bending over the tank laughing my tits off!!! Caught me in a well dodgy pose lol

I'll take a look at lunch, think it's rivets though from memory

[MikeyC]

Im not doing that, i know for a fact i'll mess it up

[Barry_M2]

Simple, all you need to do it cut straight, or take it somewhere that has a saw machine and give em a fiver to chop a few inches off.

If its revited at the end then it'll be an easy job.

A lot of streetfighters have cut-down cans, and I helped a mate shorten his Art can by about a third of the length. Fairly simple, as I recall, but I suspect it's not legal -

1. Remove end can

2. Drill out rivets holding end cap on, and pull off end cap.

3. Watch out for the baffle and sound insulation, and note what length it is in relation to the silencer body and end cap.

4. Cut end can to required length, cleaning up the cut edge.

5. Use off-cut to mark out new fixing holes on can

6. Cut down the baffle and insulation to suit new length

7. Re-assemble and fasten end cap on with new rivets or self tapping screws.

And it WILL be louder, but it may well affect your jetting

Can you buy ready made shortened cans? I've not seen them anywhere

[Barry_M2]

Yeah, a few companys do them. The guy on here with the Gibernau rep CBR600 (forget his name) has one on his, thinks its an Arrow?

I love the look of them too, even thinking of starting a small sideline business handmaking the GP type silencers.

[yzf750r]

cbrbiker I think you may be on about with the 600rr!

There is plenty on eBay usually! They dont go for much so you might be better buying one from there and if it fucks up your jetting just swap them back!



*EDIT* just checked eBay and there is only one at the minute. When you dont want one there is plenty about! Just keep an eye out!

i think you get too turned on by your bike. Hell i like mine! But you dont see me going and trying to shag my tank . I could just be a stupid kid, but doesnt a smaller can usually mean less noise? How would you feel about a shorter oval carbon fibre exhaust? There seems to be plenty going around for most bikes, maybe even tart up the standard can a bit? I.E Send it off for powdercoating/anodising?

This is a real shorty.

A lad i know called Ryan, his bike, he made the can himself, took about 1 hour to chop down and re-rivvet. Do it yourself!
