You could have the flange cut off and rewelded though. |
brought from ebay from a lady...
is it possible to get it cut off and rewelded?
if yes where? not quite sure.
edit: found 2 shops near my house
one of them is HSS are they good with welding? |
Well, you could, but it isn't worth it. The exhaust is obviously wrong for your bike and could do the engine some damage if you do manage to fit it.
Send it back, or put it on ebay again and buy the right exhaust for your bike this time. I made some suggestions in your other thread and im happy to link you to the right ones if you need me too. ____________________ Former: Derbi GP1 50, Sachs XTC 125, Suzuki GSXR 400 GK73A, Kawasaki ZX7R, Suzuki DR250, Yamaha RD350

The reason being then is that it is made for the Minerelli engine version (Branded as Gilera) rather then the Piaggio variant which you have. The exhaust is entirely wrong with your bike and due to two stroke harmonics will more then likely DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE. Get the right exhaust or on your head be it. ____________________ Former: Derbi GP1 50, Sachs XTC 125, Suzuki GSXR 400 GK73A, Kawasaki ZX7R, Suzuki DR250, Yamaha RD350

As others have said, any local independent engineering / metal fabricators will be able to do it. Ask around, a lot of them probably wont advertise mind.
It'll likely cost you about £15- £20 cash in hand, and obviously if you do it and its slightly wrong you wont be able to sell the exhaust, so you may want to weigh up the total cost Vs. selling it on, (you may even get more than you bought it for) saving your pocket money, and buying one which fits.
edit: Ive just seen your photo saying where you want the cut.... if its just the flange you want then it'll literally be the top 25mm you need to cut off -not halfaway down the pipe. If you start messing about cutting on the curve and trying to fit, well its possible but the £ start to go up.
Dont assume the fabricator knows what you want, suprisingly they dont survive on odd jobs and probably have other things to do I'd take the bike and physically show them, and you may want to leave the bike while they do it, oh and likely it wint be there top priority compared to other repeat customers, so expect to have to wait till they get the time to fit you in. ____________________ DanceLikeAMonkey says: "An infinte amount of web pages available

hopefully I will be taking the old exhaust with me to get the LEO VINCE TT welded the same as the standard that came with the bike.
My self wont be touching the exhaust as I do not want to mess it up and just waste the money spent on it.
thanks for the response. ____________________ Gilera DNA 50. |
