Hi Geoff, seeing as I am coming over, I would be interested in one or even possibly two pipes. (have you got a stash of GSX cans? or do I start buying on ebay and get them sent to your address?) slywink:

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

Well that`s how i did it Dave, started winning them on ebay & had them sent to a mates place, once i had three of them i had them shipped to OZ (cost around 90 quid) then flicked two of them off to the DR lads & kept one for myself.

You would be better off bring them back in your suitcase to be honest. :biggrin:

A clean can fetches AU$100 here & works out cheaper sending multiples rather than just one can.

It's a Motad one Mez.... I ordered it direct from them...

There's no Devil one's available from Kedo at the moment, besides Ten 2 has a Motad one on & it sounds much nicer than
the one with the Devil's....

and they're cheaper too... :evil:

p.s. I'm still working on having my own headers made up....

I don't have a stash... I've got a couple of X40FOX's (GSXR1000) & a couple of X35FOX,s (GSXR600 & 750)... they're both the same except the X40FOX is titanium & the 35 is all alloy, which is still much lighter than the standard system... I've also got a couple of later cans .... can't remember the no.. :scratch: still the same fitting's & titanium... but a bit bigger, I got them for the S10 cos I intend making up a system for that one too....

No problem in having 'em sent here Dave, just p.m. me if you're bidding on one 'cos I don't want to be bidding against you ...


edited to say... I am bidding on a couple of X40FOX'S at the mo...... :birdgrin:

Well that`s the point, when i was bidding on them two years ago i was the only bidder half the time & usually getting them for ten quid.

I think one i only paid a single pound for one of them from memory. :lol:

There`s plenty in the UK for sale, and if we all don't go bidding against one another we can all have one.

As my Yorkshire Granma used to say "There is no show without punch!"
Better include me for one of these as well if the price is OK, seeing I am carrying Action Mans bags! :shades:

Well bugger me Geoff, this is the actual one i used (gloss black) :dance:

I think they do a satin black as well, might look even nicer than gloss.

EDIT: Yes they do make a satin Geoff. :biggrin:
