What exhaust is this and what's the best course of action?

[justin]

Hi 

I have a multipart question I would lack to through out to the wisdom of the crowd. 1st, what exhaust is on my bike? Is it a simple1100 exhaust or frankensteins monster. By the way my bike is a 750 L 1990.

4 -2-1 with no balancer pipes between header. Crucially the exhaust header does not fit snuggly to the manifold. About 5-6mm protrudes, see pics. Header pipe on the throttle side is about 580mm long to where it meets the link pipe and is 35mm diameter.

Link pipe is one piece 2 in to 1, the 2 section is 42mm and 360mm long, the 1 section is 63mm about 330mm. Where the 2 join the 1 is 87mm.

Giveaway point for the headers is how they join the manifold as it looks like they are for a bike with a deeper manifold hole.

The link pipe touches the fairing and has burnt it. On the clutch side 3 headers touch the bottom of the belly pan and have burnt it.

Options

1. Buy new exhaust, tried finding one on Eblag and no luck. Can get a Marving but they don't look great.

2. Buy correct headers from a company in germany for £70 used but still don't have a link pipe and end can. Unless original headers will marry up with my current link pipe and then only 1 problem to fix.

3. Run without belly pan but I don't like that luck. 

4. Leave the exhaust and Dremel the belly pan. I think I would have to cut away a lot though????

My Micron is lush but I am guessing too big at 66mm OD for correct link pipe.

Sump to exhaust on clutch side is a large 17mm gap and on throttle side which isn't burnt about 9mm.

Any ideas, help, thoughts you can offer are gratefully received.

Thanks

I thought it still had to not touch the plastics. Will wrapping stop it burning if it touches? I have never put my hand on a wrapped exhausr so don't know how hot they get. Will add it to the potential options though, thanks.

If its touching the fairings then its either not for that bike or bad quality exhaust. You can also bend it to shape. Some guys get late model exhausts and bend them to fit so..

Can you post a pic of the whole bike with the exhaust showing ? Im sure lots of guys here can identify what you have

I'll take some side and front on snaps and get them posted.

yep for sure not for this bike. I will keep in mind getting it bent. I'll have to look if I can get clearance by bending closer to the sump.  Thanks
