There used to be a business in Moss St, Slacks Ck that would modify exhausts.
I'm sure that any of the bike shops there would be able to steer you in the right direction.
Try Startline or Dave Kellett.
Its in your neck of the woods.
Got to be a cheaper option.
Most car exhaust shops will build you a joiner piece if you need it.

By the way if you want to get rid of that 99c can I'll have it! slywink:

another "little" job out the way, took alot longer than i though :dunno:
the plastic radiator guard was all cracked and someone had cut a slot in it to run the clutch cable through :foot_tap:
Image
filled these cracks up with plenty of plastic slywink:
Image
cut up an old battery box to use as patches, slot repaired
Image
replaced the big section that was missing
Image
glued and reinforced this crack
Image
on the back
Image
and the finished product :star:
