Girly question time!

[queen_gpants]

I need some advice please on the following, I apologise in advance if I'm asking really obvious questions but this is my first monster so I'm a bit vague about things...

I'm fitting some Sil Moto hi level cans

As I'm buying them second hand I may not get fitting instructions, are they easy to fit?
Will the bike need dynojetting?
Will I need to fit a K&N filter?

any advice greatly appreciated

Ta very muchly :D

[fatbloke]

easy to fit (as long as they are for your model of monster)
no re-jetting
no K&N filter

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks for the PM Tony

It depends if you get a fitting kit. Duacti Performance make one for use for use with the DP cans which I'm pleased to say work just as well with the Sil Motor cans. I got Lee at Momstershop to order me a set in, cost about £35.00 and makes the installation very easy. Looks tidy. You'll also need to space the footrests out with alum bushes normally supplied with the cans. Other than that fitting is easy peasy.
Need any help just shout.

If you cant fit them i will buy them off of you . Tee Hee.

[A Yerbury]

a k n drop in filter would probably help a bit, they're cheap too.

And would give that slurping sound under full throttle normally associated with Thai streetworkers.

I've got some Sils, they tend to move a bit, which is a bit of a pain, especially as far as the indicators are concerned. I think the DP clamps which have a rubber clamp that goes round the can, should allow the clamp to grip more. Perhaps Lee can get em (I shall ask him myself, for some for me actually!). You shouldn't have to space your rear-sets, as the link pipes are squashed a bit to accommodated the swing-arm, this is assuming you link pipe has a bracked which you can clamp the to the rear-sets, otherwise it will move all over the shop!

Hope this helps a little.

I want to get rid of the pillion pegs and I've also bought one of those bug eye rear fenders to tidy up the rear, can't stand that poopa scoopa thing on the back!

So that'll make a difference to how the cans sit won't it?

[netstar]

All sounds good.... I really fancy some shot guns.... soooo jealous coz my bloke has just bought some for his VFR.... let us have some piccies when your done ... cheers..... Nettie

[Jay]

Hmm, are you just going to remove the pegs? If the Sils you get are the same as mine and come in two pieces (a connector pipe and the end can), then you're gonna need to make sure you can secure the connector pipes so they don't shift inwards, or outwards, and start rubbing against the swing-arm. That DP rear light system will sort out the problem of the pipes touching the lights I'm sure.

If you need pics to explain, let me know and I'll drag my sorry arse outside to take some.

[queen_gpants]

No I'm going to leave the pegs as they are for now then when I have some money I'll buy some rearsets.

Fatbloke kindly rang me this morning and explained about fitting rearsets with hi level pipes.

Sounds easy enough but it will have to wait as NattyBoy has cleared out my bank account! lol

I know a geezer down the pub who has some shotguns you can borrow at weekends, as he only uses them during banking hours. Best thing to use on a VFR....

[queen_gpants]

Was having a think about rearsets last night.

Am I right in thinking that the monster frame is the same as the 888 or is that only the older monsters, mine is a 2003 model?

If it is then I can take the rearsets off the 888 as they cripple me and stick them on the monster!

[Pedro]

Early frames were 888 based but later ones are ST2/4 based I think.

[queen_gpants]

Oh poo :( Looks like I'll have to buy some afterall!

[queen_gpants]

Help I can't fit these cans!

Got them delivered Saturday morning but no spacers included. I emailed Jakko who said he never had them on his bike and that they should just fit on but there's no way the pipe will fit between the footrest and swing arm.

where can I buy the spacers from, I really want them fitted for the rideout this Sunday.

Have you got the spacers sorted out? I've got adecent machine shop so I'll make you (and me) some in stainless if you need some. let me know.
cheers
tim

PS forgot to mention that I can use my alum ones as patterns.

[m900uk]

they definately need spacing out, Woods sorted mine out but I could measure the spacers for you if it helps.

I reckon that Br1an had the same prob as well.

Let me know if you need me to measure 'em

[m900uk]

Who's the sulker with the S4

I'll PM you with my thoughts

[queen_gpants]

Erm...ok you can all have a really good laugh now! I've only gone and bought the wrong cans! :confused:

I rang Stuart at Spareshack to see if he had any spacers and we then realised I had the wrong cans which only fit up to 2001 and obviously my bike is a 2003!

So I'm selling the Sil motors and buying a brand new pair of high level Marving race cans, which I'm picking up tomorrow :D

[m900uk]

Never mind, hopefully you'll come out of the deal fairly even. Or not?

[queen_gpants]

Already PM'd Albie who was also interested in the cans, if not I can always bung them on Ebay

The nice thing about the Marvings is that the can and pipe are one piece and they're road legal with a removable baffle for when I want to **** the neighbours off!

[m900uk]

not an option on the termi's but I reckon a real opportunity there for an add on kit ....I would buy one for going on them long hops.

Like you need an excuse to **** them Muppets off :eek: :twisted:



:D

[queen_gpants]

Well I'll certainly be pissing them off on Sunday morning! :twisted:

There's been plenty of net twitching in my road since Felix arrived, I'm sure my neighbours think I'm a drug dealer or something with all the bikes in the garage!

[spacemonkey]

They're looking on in admiration. I reckon a good loud wheelie is what they want to see. The good thing about loud pipes is that it tells them when they can get their visual treat...
