I want to a new can for my bike, and I'm struggling to find any decent suppliers. Anyone know of any decent websites for suppliers for UK/EU parts??

Cant help you with Uk/EU but here in Aus, we get anything from US or Asia. I've had great experience ordering from overseas... checked any US sites?

Yeah I've already seen that one, unfortunately they don't supply road legal stuff, it's all for race. I don't want to end up breakin' the law so.

FYI Pretty sure my Yosh pipe came with some kinda statement that is was for off-road, ( race ) use only. I think that's just the way it is. It's a chance we take and it just depends on how bored your local law enforcement are. Where I live, we're under their radar, they have more pressing things to worry about. BUT . . . .this might be a good reason to NOT go with the loudest pipe you can find ,

You will be very, VERY hard pressed to find a road legal pipe. They either exceed the bikes emissions standards, the decible level is too loud, or in some counties/states/countries, ANYTHING other than stock is illegal...

Just use the pipe you like best, and if a cop gives you a repair and report, throw your stock can back on and go to court.

Being in England, they don't give that chance. They'll just charge you with a fixed penalty notice (usually £60, but can vary) and then have points stuck on my licence. I think I might just stick with the stock can.

hi im only across the water from you in Dublin almost very can slip on or full is not road legal most cans will have not for road stamped on the can the cops here are not that bad but if i was you i would get a can and keep the baffles in it because if its not that loud you should be ok im sure you can get a can for our bike with removable baffles i dont think you will have much of a prob the laws in ireland are much the same as england

I'm looking for a relatively cheap can for mine too in the UK. The best I have come across so far is Blueflame. Looks great and only £180 for Stainless (190 for satin black). Titanium/Coloured Titanium and Carbon are also offered but much more expensive.

Just click "Bikes" then Kawasaki and select Ninja 250r from the drop down list.

I reckon your best bet is modify your stock can (Red's $36 mod), get a set of AreaP headers, have a flange made up and whack the modded stock can on that. Its all stamped and looking legal, but sounds and performs better.

Red's set up is cool

 

[eric]

I think when the pipe maker say it not road legal it's just for there own protection.

Like a radar detectors.In most states it's legal to sale but illegal to use.

Beats me.

 

[Felix]

Yeah you need to check each individual state/country/shire etc. In Australia, each state has its own laws regarding exhaust noise.

Does that mean you can't go road trippin' round Autralia?! That sucks. My main dream is to copy Top Gear's road trip through Vietnam. That place looks AWESOME!
