Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Not urgent (YET!) as MOT is in June but there is a crack in one of the down pipes on my exhaust system.

1. Is there a means of getting it fixed

and if not

2. Anyway of getting a cheaper aftermarket system, as a Triumph one is looking like being about £700+

No problem finding end cans just difficulty finding down pipes.

Get yourself the full arrows system for £650

Wrap it in that shite stuff the yanks like to abuse their bikes with. Heat wrap or whatever its called.

My old Thundercat (RIP 2004) had down pipes with pinholes in them ... I had them filled with a bit of weld and turned out to be all good

Don't know if you've approached your dealer with this issue Norfolknchance, but we've had a fair few of the 675 headers cracking - normally by the link pipes iirc, I know Triumph have replaced some sets foc, but obviously you'd be lucky to get a free set on a 7-8 yr old bike. But if you don't ask.....

Btw, if I'd known you wanted a set a fortnight back you could have had a spare set I've got, unfortunately I've sold them and they're being picked up this friday.

Headers should only be about £500 (only he says ) who quoted over £700????!!!

I think the £700 was for all or at least most of a complete system, just me getting the wrong end of the stick.
About 4-500 seems the prices I'm getting now for the headers only. I would still like it to be less, but hey-ho.

Sandy is normally the man for this sort of job
