Hi all, another question (sorry)

I'm looking at end cans for the Hornet, but have come across other cans for sv's, bandits etc, now will these go straight on the Hornet? Surely the link pipe size is the same? Karma cookies will be given. Razz Thumbs Up

No, link pipe "surely" isn't the same at all. The fitment for specific bikes isn't ALWAYS the same but as a rough guide:

A hornet will take the same can from an sv650, cbr600 (Newer models 00 onwards), bandit 650, R6. Most are 50-51mm internal Diameter slip ons. But some manufacturers do different fitments - Ixil use the 3 bolt fitment for all their exhausts, akrapovic use springs to fit onto their own link pipes etc. Most of the time you'll be alright - If it doesn't fit, then sell it on. Just make ure you get it cheap in the first place.

I've got a soft spot for the blue flame evo can, and can't find one for the Hornet. Razz

May well fit, but you'll need a link pipe.

The stock Hornet can has about 6 inches of pipe work welted onto it, so when you remove it you'll not be able to just attach a can.

The stock can clamps to the headers just before it comes up through the swingarm. Have a look, you'll see where it clamps on and get the idea.

In short you'll at least need a link pipe.

And I assume you mean the BlueFlame EVO 3 tri-oval.

They don't list it on their site, but the BSD site still lists it, so I assume it's still available. I was after one, but then went for the Akra, which incidently I'm selling and uses the same system as the stock can, so has no link pipe.

I'm after the answer to this question too... so i'll ask a question.

Would it be possible to buy another stock end can (with attached link pipe) off ebay (they're goin for about £50) and cut the end can off so you can use the link pipe with your new end can?

I assume if you get the right diameter of the link pipe any can would fit. Am I right?

Obviously, you could then send the link pipe away to get chromed or whatever...

Seems like a bit of a bodge to me when you could just ring up an exhaust company and get them to just send you the link pipe.......

Scorpion etc.

Definately be less than 50 quid.

I've got a link pipe sitting at home from an el cheapo ebay can I bought if I can dig it out.

Would that link pipe then fit any aftermarket exhaust with the correct diameter?

I'm not assuming that's addressed to me, but IF it is, offer it to the thread starter. I haven't actually got a hornet (yet), but i'm planning.

Don't see why not.

And it's on offer to either of you if you want it, I'll have a look when I get in from uni later.
