It only took about 50 minutes per side to do, and all the tools I needed was a drill with a 5mm and 6mm HHS bit. Hacksaw and blades. Stanley Knife. Pot rivet gun and 4.8mm rivets. and a roll of Duct tape. Oh and a bit of protection.....
Have a go, its quite an easy job to do and the guy that supplies the baffels told me he sends them to Oz. Look in my posts on this thread to find the link to him.
Much cheaper option than buying race cans.
Good luck and I hope you enjoyed the conversion. |

| Make sure you smash out the cat in the y pipe. Big (old) screwdriver does the job. Punch oround the outside right through and it falls out. Then you will see how choked it is standard. I will definitely get a kit for my exhaust. |

Yes mate I did get it from ebay, the guy told me on the phone he sends quite a lot to Oz.
I brought a Y connector from another guy on ebay and he removed the CAT for me, and is sending me the bend from an old set of down tubes to make the connection to my Blade zorst a bit easier. |

Thanks Lads, just need the socket for my swing arm changeover now. Its really starting to bug me because I cant do anything about the zorst link pipe untill I see how much room I have, and the angles to run the pipe. I found a guy on ebay that can do me a socket for around $40.00 so just waiting for it to arrive.
Did a bit to my tank on Sunday. Sanded off the Honda decals, and took it back to the metal. I like the new enamel round badges on the 08 blade, so I'm thinking of cutting two round steel rings about 4mm thick from a steel heating pipe, and having them welded to each side of my tank and then filling around them so the badges have a frenched in look about them. I went to my local honda dealer and the things are going to set me back about $120.00 for two little bits of plastic. Anyone know of a Asian web site that does copies for half the price? |

These guys are pretty cheap, they don't have what you want but may make it for you anyway:

Send them an email and ask. I'm sure it couldn't hurt. |
I'm not homophobic but if you can take a cock up the arse you should be able to take a joke

Undo the castle nut and remove it from the swinging arm spindle. then as in this photo use a normal 27mm socket to undo the hex nut on the other side. |

Now go back to the first side and use a 11mm allen key socket to remove the centre spindle. |

Slide out the spindle, and drop out the swing arm. To completely remove the old arm you will need to split your chaine. |

Reinstall the shock and the linkage, but leave the top bolt of the shock untill last. Tighten up all the bolts that go through the bottom of the shock linkage, then gently lift, or lower the swing arm to locate the bolt through the top of the shock.
I fucked about for ages trying to line up the bottom bolts, the penny droped, and it went straight in.
Drrrrrrrr!! |

| Once the top of the shock is dun up you can de-prop-ulate the back of the swing arm. |
