Hi,

I'm looking at changing the exhaust on my YB11.. Are there any link pipes available for aftermarket slips ons, or any link pipes off other bikes that may work?

If not it's looking like a custom link pipe..


Assuming plenty of others have done this mod so any advice would be great Smile

I think the YB11 used the whole system from the ThunderAce - the Acropavic system should fit straight on, so a ThunderAce can and link pipe should do too

Or try this one.
Which kinda confirms it's a ThunderAce system to me

My YB11(ex-uk) has a Quill end can/link pipe that slots onto the exhaust just behind the exup valve. 195pounds in 1999(luckily the previous owner was a receipt horder). Not sure if Quill are still around tho.

I won't say anything degrading about Quill, but do a search on 400greybike forum about them!

I had a quick look but couldnt see anything degrading about them, could you be more specific as too which thread.

All i can go by is that ive had mine on since i purchased the bike and havnt had a problem with it, it sounds nice and in stainless it looks good.

there's a lot of negative comments
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=greybike+quill&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=dKM&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=+site:400greybike.com+grey+bike+quill&sa=X&ei=uOOvUPyfPKKe0QWvm4HIBQ&ved=0CD8QrQIwAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=1bf8971734a1165e&bpcl=38897761&biw=1280&bih=657
if you're happy with it tho then that's good. I think most of the comments are re fit and customer service, if yours fits and you have it then you're most of the way there!

A lot of cans are generic. They get made from standard parts which are bought in and assembled ... then they stick a badge on it.

If you want to see if a ThunderAce can will fit buy an old one off the bay and have a look, you can always sell it on.

Hi guys

It's Roy's son... Just asked me to put some photos up and thank you for the advice. Ended up going to zorstec in Shipley, did a great job of it.
