I am looking at putting a stubby slip-on on my 2000 FZS600 but to be honest I don't know much about 4 stroke silencers :rolleyes
Could anyone recommend any particular makes or types that won't need the carbs rejetting ?
Noise or performance doesn't matter as long as it's quiet - ish. I assume I need a silencer and the pipe to connect it to the outlet pf my downpipes, but does the link pipe need to be specific for my bike ?
These bikes don't really appreciate or need rejetting, but even though a lot of manufacturers will say they don't need it a carb balance will get the best out of a changed end can.
OEM exhausts are actually the best, but a tad boring for me.
Budget is the real issue, i paid about £180 for an SP Engineering Moto GP end can which is noisy with a baffle and stupid loud without.
I settled for my Quill exhaust, still not cheap but a much nicer rumble plus the bike behaves better with it on.
Have a look on YouTube for exhaust sounds, although they're just a rough guide, they don't really give a genuine sound like you're standing next to the bike.

Do you like your neighbours?

I notice that the link pipes that are available hold the silencer in the same position as the original. Ideally I want the silencer to run more horizontal to allow for a side mounted number plate. What are the options?

You could have a link pipe made to change the angle but you may run into clearance problems, you'd also need a new bracket to hold the end can.

Side mounted number plate???
Please tell me you mean the brackets and not an off centre plate?

Er - what's wrong with er like the number plate kinda er sort of where it is.
Yey they are ugly and we all have them (like belly buttons) but moving it to the side will only make it stick out - in more ways than one, just move it up like this over the oem reflector, my new reflector will be just below the plate on a bracket attached to the mudguard as per MOT, I also cut the mudguard flush with the bottom of the plate which is a fully legal size spec plate (up to you if you want to go smaller) photoshoped plate by the way.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
Not actually trying to be a cleaver arse (for a change) but is there any reason why we can not have our reg on a patch on the back of our jacket, the same size and everything, maybe also another sticker reg so the traffic wardens can earn a living - just to stay within a law so we can be done over elsewhere

Because the back end is to be chopped off and it will have a single seat !!

1: You'll look like a right twat
2: It would be similar to walking about with your name and address on your back when you get off the bike, just not a great idea
3: Having a number on your back will make you an easy target for malicious people, i'm not sure how yet, but it just will
4: It'll need to be lit up by law, meaning wires or batteries
5: You'll look like a right twat

I didnt think about the lighting up bit, I look like a twat anyway, it would just free up the options for the rear end because however excotic you design it, it will always be spoilt by a 7x9 inch sheet of yellow plastic.

I have a smaller single row number plate, that i used to have on the bike, but my Quill exhaust is unbaffled, and i preferred to keep that as it is and put a standard plate back on so as not to attract unwanted attention from the old bill which those smaller number plates tend to do.
