not sure about the quality though an you might get 1 made cheaper as i got the downpipe made in sections to make it easier to remove an had twin rear boxes at the back as was only 500  :wink:

hmm, trouble is I need to get one made to order as I would want to gather all the bits to go to k04 instead of farting about fitting all the k04 kit then trailering it to a exhaust place getting one made up etc etc
