blimmin bike dealers

Dealer swaps the Yoshi for an Akraprovik because the Yoshi had the wrong
link pipe
now the Akra arrives and the link pipe doesn't have a clamp to the down
pipe, instead
there is a loop, similar to the 2 at the other end for the springs.
my guess is, this came from a full exhaust system, so I'm still f**ked as
far as
usiny my bike this weekend
Unless someone knows a work around?
(no angle grinder comments please)

 

A clamp won't work unless the ends are cut, so you can either pop
to your local friendly welder and get a couple of loops welded onto
your system and a couple of matching springs, or sit at home and
watch the telly.

 

Cut 4 slots in the end of the pipe where it slides over t'other bit,
then clamp on with a plated exhaust 'U' bolt from Halfords? Five
minutes with a hacksaw & a couple of quid should cover it.

thats that I was thinking,
I've just bought some 60mm Stainless clamps,
So unless anyone tells me I'm ruining the Akroprovik Titanium link pipe
(will a hacksaw cut it?)
thats what I'll do.

 

How about this?

I put a clamp around the downpipe, trapping a hook under it
and use a spring to connect the link pipe
this way, I don't wreck the link pipe

 

Might work, as long as the fit between the pipes is tight enough.

No worries Nidge thanks
I have a new original from eBay £ 41 but just didn't want to take off the
plastic wrapper
Many thanks for the offer though, much appreicated

 

An angle grinder with a 1mm cutting disc will. In seconds and as neatly as
you could wish for. See? Angle grinder comments CAN be useful.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Vass belched forth and ejected the following:

Where do you live?

I have a standard titanium one you can borrow as I'll be fitting the
Devil pipe to mine this weekend hopefully.

 

It seems all Akropoviks have this fitment, use of a third spring, fitted to
god knows where.
Its bolted on and looks sweet, just need to work out this third spring
Thanks for offer WC, I have an original, see prev post.
Thanks again
Anyone have an Akropovik fitted using standard down pipes that can help?
