Hi all,Just took delivery of an 05 FZS1000S,I'm looking at going back to a standard can, I have found some on EBay, just wondered if they are all the same system from 01-05?Also my right hand switch gear has a blank where I would normally find a switch for side/main beam etc, the lights are hard wired to be on all the time, is this standard? Please excuse the newbie questions, and thanks in advance for any advice.Cheers.Daz.

Ive got two standard cans in my garage You're welcome to one of them FOC if you can collect? I really would rather not bother packing it up to post it. I'm based in RG8 0AJ area
The headlight switch was removed from the UK/EU market Gen 1 in 2003 or thereabouts so that's normal and doesn't indicate yours might be a US import. The 2005 year stock silencer has 3 tubes inside the link pipe which are part of the token catcon fitted to the final year Fazers. Makes no difference to fit or performance if you happen to get one for your bike.
I'd encourage you to check out the FAQ at the top of the main page, it sounds like your bike is a US import and the FAQ will help you confirm this as well as giving you a lot more useful information. As far as I am aware the OEM silencer should be the same fit for all GEN1 bikes but I can't see why you would want to fit a heavier more restricted system unless you're in a country that requires OEM kit to pass an annual inspection.
I did check the FAQ but couldn't find anything re standard systems. I understand what you mean bud but I just don't like noisy cans, It has a Fuel can fitted that isn't too bad but on long trips I find them anoying. Cheers.Daz.
