Yes .... but then again. The bike will run with any can on it and they don't affect performance that much on the road as long as they're the right size. Your problem will be mounting it. The link pipe with your pressant can can be used but standard cans don't use a strap they have a tab .... and your pillion peg (where you mount it) will be in a different place.
So how about resleeving it ?
You can get a new sleeve, stainless wire wool and packing from ebay or a can manufacturer. Drill out the rivets, clean up the baffle, put the wire wool on, then the wadding and hold it with stainless zip ties, slip on the new tube and rivet it with sealed rivets. Or you could send it back to the manufacuterers to get it done.
If you want a standard 3en1 can I've got one.

There's also a guy on ebay who makes adaptors for different sized pipes and cans. I've just ordered one to put a slash pipe on my 125 commuter. Looks stupid, sound even worse. But a good laugh!
Here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0303134989" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He'll make pretty much any size to any size.
All you may need to do is cut some slots in one end with a hack saw, so you can tighten a ring clip around it over your existing link/header pipe setup.

Hiya, i have a stanard R6 can on me 3en1, i had to cut about an inch off the exup valve collector box, and make a bracket but it lines up very well.
Cheers
