ermm yer..Link Pipe
I have been looking for a new can for my gk76 for ages and finally found a nice scorpion that does a treat but then realised that my old can is welded to the link pipe for some reason so im gonna need a new link pipe now. I've been lookin on ebay etc for ages but never anything on there so..
Does anyone know where i can get one? or if one of another make or model bike will fit??
Cheers :)

Re: ermm yer..Link Pipe
I've been after a link pipe too. Scorpion do supply a link pipe with their cans when you buy from them, I emailed them to see if I could buy just the pipe. They said no! Couldn't beleive it, what a shit company!! What happens if you need spares for their products? You have to buy the whole set again!! Not very impressed.
There are no secrets, you either know it or you don't.

Re: ermm yer..Link Pipe
If you guys are really stuck i can make then in the old school cut and weld style (not bent from one pipe).
Take a look at MIKE's B4 in the linl below to see wot i mean.

Re: ermm yer..Link Pipe
I would only charge for stainless and gas about £20 as you need to purge stainless to weld it, but have a small problem of only having 2/3rd's of a 76a and only the front pipes so no OE link to copy. If you can supply me pictures and as many mesaurements as possible it should be easy.

Re: ermm yer..Link Pipe
I dont know if i have this right but i heard on here somewhere that a GK76A has a 51mm link pipe so as i was bored i decided to do some research. I dont know alot about bike & i couldnt be bothered to look to much but i came acrossed a couple of sites that said a GSX600F has the same 51mm pipe. I looked at a few pics of them & GK76's and as far as i can see they look the same.. The cans are in the same place & at the same angle, the exhaust/link pipe bends at the same point just below the swing arm, the small link pipe is in the same place & are both 51mm.. heres a couple of pics to judge for yourselfs but looks the same to me.

1997 GSX600F

1992 GSXR400
can anyone confirm if im right cz if so i think i've solved my link pipe issue
Cheers
