The exhaust sleeve has fractured in two places (fortunately underneath) can it be welded ?
 
prob cheeper to just re-sleeve it matey, pj engineering do sleeves etc.

deacs :thumbup

ps. Titanium can be welded but I think the rods are quite pricey and the welder has to know his stuff.
 
As my link pipe is 52mm in diameter can I fit "any" aftermarket end can that will accept that diameter ?

I mean if say a Micron can for a Yamaha has a 52mm diameter link pipe then it should fit mine ?.
 
don't see why not, I'll take it you have one left over from the Yammy days? Still, surely a new sleeve is still going to be cheaper?

Yes I have a "nice" American WyleyCo in polished stainless (goes well with the polished frame and swing arm)

Have been unable to find a sleeve of the correct "oval" shape :pirate, tried the original "rocket launcher" and the bike ran like a pig :jack

reusing parts from the garage is always a plus :thumbup, the guy at that pj eng site I gave you reckoned you use the round sleeve for the oval cans too.
