I did a search and could not find the answer, so apologies if I missed it.

I was wondering about fitting a tyga maggot can on a standard RVF. I know the three bolt bracket would have to be cut off and the two u-clamps welded on but I was wondering is will the can slip right over the pipe or will it need a link pipe???

Oh,,, and are these things taking the piss with how loud they are??? its going on a road bike :)

Thanks!

Very, very loud. Loved mine but couldn't keep it on the bike, it was rediculous. You'll need a reducer to fit it to a standard system.

You can't get a reducer for the RVF. So I might just have to go to a local fabricator to get an adapter made up.

Im sure someone here has done this mod before???

Any suggestions appreciated!!!


Thanks

Just spoke to a lad on a different forum. He fitted one to his rvf. All he needed was a hacksaw and a spanner. (and the clamps welded on)

So happy days!

Thanks for your help lads!
