then buy it off ebay
search for wileyco and buy the can for any cbr
or just buy the vance and hines full system...
You can buy just about any WileyCo can off of Ebay, and just get the slip-on flange from Srinath.
www.starcycle.com
Shop in LA-area that supposedly has both the Jardine and V&H pipes. V&H is 260 something there, with the Jardine 280 or so.

Ok man, If you must ... buy the can off ebay, I'll make one and send you for the 04 ... the same type of slip on... I am not out of them, just that I never made 04 non weld types so far ... I'll do that now... how is that ... I can make the wiley co fit and work better than anything else ... that high eixt and forward fit with the right offsets etc are near about perfect ... The others sorta hang lower and nowadays that really makes it look dated ... everything has to go high ... and burn your turnsignal :lol:
Cool.
Srinath.
srinath, could you recomend a can other than wiley co. seems like it's not that easy to find one of those in carbon fiber...
Srinath's Carbon fiber can: nice deep tones, but tends to leak doo doo.

dom, would you mind elaborating on what doo doo is? :)
Yea Dom is a Dombass... :lol:
The flange stuff I make is wiley co only... the other thing is... the carbon cans I sold were for $125 and that included a $40 flange and pipe set ... That makes it $85 for the can and I dont believe anywhere you can beat that $$$. The Ebay wileyco's now available in SS will be ~$64 or so to your door ... good deal essentially for a new SS can, and very well made one at that. For full list price or even 10-20% off you can get carbon in any make ... for nearly 75% off retail ... that is what is hard to get.
As soon as I land a job, if the DK closeout's are there I am getting myself an SS one... I sold all the Ti and CF ones due to lack of money :x ...
Its a good deal, and why Carbon... I didn't think the Ti was heavier and certainly the SS isn't going to be any heavier... and guess what ... I liked the Ti at the end of it... more nicer note if a bit metallic, and overall stood up better to handling ... whihc is why all my pics of welding etc have the Ti one in the pics... I'd get the SS ... no real advantage of CF and I can see a disadvantage in the sense ... it sounds a bit girlier and is harder to handle wihtout scratching/damaging.
Cool.
Srinath.
b u t...but the cf looks tougher...i want a cf :(
Theoretically, the CF can will last longer(look better longer) than the Ti or SS cans because they are restorable. Any scratches in the resin can be sanded out with wet 600, 1000, and 1500 grit, then buffed out with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #9 and it will look brand spankin' new. If it ever gets to the point where your sanding thru to the CF you can just throw another coat of resin on it.
You could sand and/or buff scratches out of the TI or SS but where you run into troubles is with dings. They oughta start selling cans with a hammered finish.
But you aren't going to find a deal like Srinath's anywhere. Buy the SS. I would if I hadn't lucked out and got the last CF. Who knows, more CFs might show up on Dennis Kook...but I wouldn't bet on it and not get the SS.
I think poop jokes are funny. DOO DOO! :thumb:
If you must have CF ... get a SS can and have JamesG or Dgyver make you a sleeve and slip that on :lol: ... prolly cost less than the $20 Dennis Krook wanted ... :x
Cool.
Srinath.
srinath, would this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4509284730) work with your flange? or can you make it work? :mrgreen:
or what about this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4509054099)?
I'm not srinath(last time I checked) but it's hard to say because we don't have a photo of the point where the pipe connects to the can. Most yosh pipes that I remember were welded all the way up. So, in response to your question, I would say yes. It would take a bunch of work but it can be done. First you would want to saw off the pipe part, then drill out the rivets, and either weld nuts in place behind front end of the can or use Riv-Nuts.
I think you can probably adapt any can to fit, with the exception of fully welded cans. Just look for cans that have ends that are riveted on... The other thing to look for is that the end must be over 4-1/2"(roughly) to fit with Srinath's adapter plate. The reason why I say this is if you buy an oval shaped can the adapter plate won't fully cover the end.
Edit: I think the second one has the three hole polt pattern that will fit srinaths pipe. I think Honda only has one 3 hole bolt pattern.
Ok ... the R6 can will need a mid pipe fabbed and the mid it has probably needs to be cut down and the one you make has to go on on top ...
The 929/954 will need a flange to bolt to and a mid pipe ... You putting it on a 01+ ... then I'll do the R6, if you fitting a 89-00 I'll do the 929 pipe and try my flange and mid pipe ... I can send you a flange wiht no holes or you can send me its gasket and I can drill the holes with that in pattern. BTW the 929's pipe isn't CF is it ... looks black but not all that's black is CF...
Cool.
Srinath.
