    Yea lol,

    Thing is I've offered it up tonight and it doesn't look that bad, the top lines dont quite match but it looks pretty decent so not sure on what I should do tbh.

    Il have a go actually fitting it on Saturday as it will need some adjusting but then so would a 1000RR type as I don't have the Leo Can anyway, then maybe post some pics and get some input

    It looked pretty cool though and a million times better than a link pipe :) but offering it up an actually getting it there fixed is another thing.

    If its like mine its carbon fiber so should shape to fit quite easily .. so just some brackets to fabricate then :unsure:
    Mine has three fixings .. one off the pipe / one hanging down from the frame / and without going out to the shed I can't remember the third :fie:

    well you see what the seller forgot to mention is that this shield has a modified bracket which was obviously used on a 1000r and an aftermarket exhaust (not Leo Vince) so now even though the bracket on it makes it easier for me i still need to mess around with it to get it to fit a 1000rr :)

    Im going to have a lil play with it on the weekend, if i cant get it right i just have to sell and hopefully get what i paid for it back

    Have you got the standard cat or a decat mate. If you want a decat , I can make you one for a lot less than the usual manufacturers will charge???

    Sorry getting mixed myself with CB1000R cats. Your cat was in the silencer/cat lump that got removed when the Boss was fitted. Be interested if it's a straight connection or a S shape?

    No mate, can't see the link pipe, unless it's dead straight onto the 4 into 1?

    No mate, if I had some idea of dimensions I could bring something with me? I will bring some alloy and plastic, to try to mould it around your set up?
