Suzuki GSR 750 exhaust can swap

Hello all, new forum member here.

I have a 2011 Suzuki GSR750 which I'm looking to swap the original ugly can to a nice aftermarket one. Still deciding on the can Mr. Green

I've been doing the usual online research about the process and I'm looking for advice about whether I'd need to remove the exhaust servo and fit a servo eliminator etc

Basically if anyone could give me advice of what's required to fit an aftermarket can that would be appreciated.

Also, it recently went through an mot and the mechanic said my handlebars are bent. Left side is closer to the tank on full lock than the right side. He said the forks etc are all fine but upon looking at my handle bar across the top yoke it looks as if it's not sitting level across the way. I'll try adding a picture for reference where you can see that the handlebar isnt alligned to the yoke and sitting slightly lower on the the left side as you look top down. Should that just be an adjustment to the handlebar clamps needed?? Haven't taken the handlebar off the bike, but it looks to be the right shape. Hoping it's an easy fix as I'm looking at nearly £200 for a bar Shocked

Thanks in advance

J

Can't really tell much from that photo. Maybe take a photo showing the bars on full lock on each side?

Anyway, unless it's been dropped I doubt the bars are bent, I'd go more with a slight twist in the forks or something similar.

If the bars and forks are straight, you might consider that the tank might not be positioned properly on the frame. Might be something as simple as a rubber bushing not seated properly. 5mm offset to one side would affect the handlebar to tank dimension by a centimeter, lock to lock.

If your arms and wrists feel the same then I'd forget about the handlebar. Even a slighly bent bar will make you feel all weird and not symetrical bodywise.
