Exhaust gaskets

Post by G Beale » Mon Dec 08, 2008 10:40 am

Just a quick one folks. Are the TRX (header) gaskets the same as owt else ? Just scored a beauty of an exhaust system so I assume the standard gaskets are needed ? Normally some on ebay but not now I want some. :(

Don't want to start yet another thread with me asking more questions so I will tag this one on here & hope someone answers. [-o<
Today I took delivery of my new (used) exhaust system complete with carbon cans but there are no brackets for them and there is no way of bolting the system to the head. Brackets for cans I can probaly make but exhaust collets ??? I have emailed the chap I bought this system off & he says that it uses Kawasaki exhaust collets which are in 2 pieces per pipe so I need four. I think I know the sort he means but I aint got a clue which ones to look for/ buy. :? Does anyone else use anything other than the standard Yamaha set up to hold their exhaust on, if so what do you use ?
If I could get my standard exhaust off I might have a better idea of what's needed but it seems to be welded to the head at the moment. :cry:
