Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi all!

that's the story - i bought my bike with quite ugly silencer and headers, and deadly needed to replace this :


and just bought these Carbon- looking cans, but they are a bit heavy and i'm not sure if the tiny peg mounts will handle with this weight :



So the question is - does anyone knows the weight of the original TRX silencers ? (i know it is a ridiculous question but still - don't want to lose some parts during a bumpy ride)


Thanks in advance!

don't worry mate, the std cans are like boat anchors.
as long as you line it all up and tighten correctly you should be alright.
cheers

Geez they are ugly,

wow, 6 kilos! - this is really heavy


Yup, this was my first job - to throw off the cans and the header, but then the problems began - the headers(standart) I purchased from ebay.co.uk was without flanges and had to make some solution..
The other huge problem is that the right rear peg/exhaust mount is missing and i can't find in the ebay such - all of the offers are for left mount - now trying to understand the German language so that i can search in the ebay.de ... Wish me luck

where are you?

I've got some rear footpegs / exhaust hangers

i'm from Bulgaria and most of the parts, that buying from E-bay UK, are via Bulgarian courier firm, that has office in London

Beero, search for Kawasaki ZX10 split collars for the headers / front pipe to head studs, infact I`m certain many other Kawasaki split collars will fit too, like these:

Or these:

They can be simply stretched or squeezed in a vice to fit the stud spacing.

Once again want to thank to all of you guys!

Here is update of the frozen project Trixxie:



these days I bought a set of zzr1100 collars :


a bit rusty, but then sand blasted them, then painted with heat resistant paint:



then found right pillion peg and all was ready for assembling:






Have to admit that the sound is pretty good for a 3vd Engine in this bike (hope some day to find crank and camshafts for the 4UN)


and sneak a peek for my next project (Yamazaki):
