Title: F1R on '04 500F? PLEASE HELP
Post by: Steve500F on June 25, 2004, 08:07:35 AM
Can the Cobra F1R listed here fit on a 2004 GS500F?

I'd like to order this ASAP but I'm only waiting to make certain that it will fit. Some quick help/insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys,
Steve

I think it should fit... however why dont you buy a spi on off ebay for a different bike, like a Katana or somehitng. The non flange type is usually slip fit. I suggest that cos the F1 is rather cheap quality... it will soon begin to crap out and make the whole bike look shitty. Yosh cans and V&H cans are much better and they hold up better as well. You need billet end caps, not welded sheet aluminum like the cobra Have it on eliminator... its crap.
Cool.
