I got a new job in London and not wanting to pay the extortionate price for travelling in a cattle train, I decided to take my CX into london, I had done this route 3 times now so it should of been easy.

Rode there, fine on the ride home somewhere on the A13 i lost my downpipe, i thought crikey, this bikes LOUD, pop pop bang bang... thats right you faggot in the prius, you swerve out of the way of my monstrosity.. Laughing

It was awesome Twisted Evil

Anyway, point is Im having to take the train till I can get it sorted which annoys me... anyone know where I can get some new downpipes/exhaust on the cheap, doesen't have to be new, just working Wink

Alternatively any chance of bodging something to fit?? Wink

Because i was travelling at 70mph, in the middle of the 3 lane carriageway with no suitable place to stop.

And because i was under the pretence that if i stopped, and the bike died, it wouldn't start again, so i figured id ride it till i got home.

Half an exhaust is better than no exhaust right? Very Happy

If you are bidding on those pipes all stock CX500 pipes are the same (Z, A, B, C Euro etc), they only change for the 650 (i have made 500 pipes fit a 650 Mr. Green )
When your collector box go's (which it will do) get a set of turn-outs for it, makes it sound great and does not effect performance, no need to re-jet either, if any-thing it made my 650 trike torquier low down (still pulled 120mph!)
