Exhaust problem..
Hi, first of all hello to you all, ive joined the site as i have an old wreck of a 300 1998 EC that im trying to get it into some state of less embarrassment.
Basically ive swapped the old sliver chromed sub frame with a black 2000 one, swapped the tank and plastics and seat to, had to remove a small tag on frame and relocate coil for tank to fit...engine and gear box sound, had the magnum 45's serviced, new linkage and swingarm bearings, good to go....till i tried to fit a brand new DEP silencer that was on the bike originally with the 98 sub frame..it wont, although the subframes look similar geomatry, they cant be...can anyone confirm this, before i go spending out on a different silencer. |

Why dont you just get some new brackets welded to the subframe tiltz , cant be that hard , be a shame to break it after all the time you spent on it

Alright fella....
ive already made brackets up, but the amount of extra travel that creates pulls the exhausts apart.. the DEP rear can is the correct one, i checked it earlier and underneath is has EC 250 98-06 stamped on it...the problem is that it has brandnew Gnarly on the front, which i presume is for model without the Ohlins rear shock, the gas cylnder is to big, which in turn stops the front pipe from coming up and matching can...its proper cooked me, and ive lost all interest in the bike, there are some nice bits on it, engines is cracking, but ive no heart in it....ive ridden Steves and Scouses newer gassers, and they felt nice....but ive stripped this to the bone rebuilt it, and i just cant take to the early gas gas way of doing things, bit short sighted perhaps, but i cant change what i feel... |

I may be wrong but i wouldnt have thought the shock would stop it fitting , try asking in one of the technical sections of the forum , im sure someone will be able to answer your question .
One thing to note though , if your thinking of parting the bike on here is most the guys are in the good old usa. |
