Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2021 5:24 am Post subject: YB8 Furano exhaust end cap |
|
|
Last weekend the rivets holding exhaust tail piece failed and the end fell off. I only noticed this when I returned home.
As I remember hearing a strange noise on my ride, I returned there and found the exhaust outlet, unfortunately so had a car. So I have a rather mangled end cap for my exhaust.
While I'm chasing a fabricator to make me a new part, I thought somebody here may know who originally manufactured the exhaust.
The end can is original and appears to be a heavy road friendly silencer (possibly even a FZR1000 part) that has an exotic carbon wrap held in place by neat stainless end caps at each end.
The silencer has a unique Bimota part number (unlike the Yamaha and Ducati parts on this bike) and the end-cap was never available separately.
So I'm hoping someone either has the part laying around as a spare for me or knows who originally made the end can so I can find the part more easily.
Thanks,
Andrew... |

If it has a Bimota part number on it, i'm guessing Bimota of the day commissioned a manufacturer to make the mufflers for them. I'd assume an Italian exhaust manufacturer? i'm not sure who was around at the time _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

The yb9 bikes used LaFranconi for the exhaust so possibly the same but no idea for sure if...... |
