Have had a set on mine for a few years. Went straight on with no problems with the original silencer, I later fitted a Lazer silencer from the same folks and felt the link pipe provided was about 30mm too short which makes it difficult to get enough clearance for the swingarm.

Well ended up at Chas Mann motorcycles for them to fit them, they had to drill a series of holes around my existing exhaust header bolts on cyl 2 &3 just to get them off without snapping the studs.
Once these bolts were off these pipes fitted straight on and F*** me what a difference they make to the bike, it seams to be running alot smother now, my scopion end can has a deeper growl to it and it makes the bike look so much better (mines silver so they sort of compliment the look.)
Overall very happy with them.

Much did you pay?


Could have had Motad pipes for just under £150 including delivery.


Why does the motad website list FZS600 downpipes for £240 (excluding VAT and delivery) but when you call them up and ask for them at £134.99 + 12.86 delivery they agree? I only know about this due to another thread on the forum!

The down pipes were £174.99 this included free next day delivery and a set of new gaskets.
 
Don't know what the Motad pipes come with?

Motad are a better make of pipes i think from what I read, but I have not got them on mine yet, suppose any stainless is better than original set. I got no gaskets with mine but only a couple of quid each.

I thought the set of 5 gaskets were around £15?
Which still puts them cheaper than these buuuuuuuuuuuuuut after a run from brum down to Luton and back today i'm more than chuffed with my pipes.

I had a set of Motad ones, they fractured around the welds where the pipes were braced together after a couple of years. The Sandy Bike Spares ones I replaced them with have already lasted better than that.
