Yes, I do tend to fight headwinds.

Did I mention that the Sil Motor is a hi-level system ?
I began by considering fitting the low-level single can system from the 600SS but then I discovered that their header/collector pipes were plain steel, not stainless .. and most rotted away years ago.
Somebody on a Ducati stand once told me that stainless aftermarket systems used to be available for the 600SS, but I've never found one .. and they're low level too.
Dunno about the Paso but again, I suspect only low-level systems were available (and probably would require more mods needed to fit a monster than my Sil system might need).

It will be a headwind though ... I didn't mention how battered (and crudely shortened) the carbon can is, did I ? Only the end-caps will be useable, I reckon.
But the whole system is sitting on the bike now (albeit with the front header sawn in half) and it just looks the dog's.
I even have a bit of a fetish going about the little "Sil Motor" engraving on the silencer end-cap.
I think its going to have to be a labour of love .. in a headwind.
