Hello,
I spent the morning fitting new engine downpipes and silencers to my CB175. I bought all the parts from David Silvers and everything fitted together, however all is not right.
I first noticed that the downpipe only fitted into the silencer by an inch or so,and then realised that the silencers are too far back, ie, the cutouts are two inches behind the shock absorbers instead of underneath them.The silencer mounting bolts fit perfectly onto the hanging brackets on the bike, and the hanging brackets are the originals being welded on the frame.I thought I was doing the right thing by going to DS, so am a bit disappointed. All I can think of is to make up some other type of bracket, so I can move everything forward a couple of inches.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thankyou,
Grazman
