Are you in the UK? You could try contacting those that market cans for the TRX as they`ll often need to supply link pipes with their cans to mate-up with the front / header pipes.
Alternatively be patient and keep watching Ebay, they do come up from time to time. :wink:

Yeah im from the uk im based in kent, im not very patient and i dont fancy buying more cans when i have a pair already, it moght be just as easy to get some link pipes made.

I know of someone in kent who hand makes exhaust systems and does a fantastic job he made a 6-1 for my honda cbx 1000. Hes company is called cambell customs

John Campbell?
I Know of him myself as I`m sure plenty of other old school bikers do.
Well there you go then, he`ll definately be able to fabricate some up to suit. :wink:
Oh and allow me to post a nice link to Johns company site:

http://www.campbellcustom.co.uk/

Ask him if you talk to him, about his `geometrics` range from years gone by, cast alloy and finned collector pieces with a tuneable outlet, nicely made megaphone systems and rare as hens teeth these days. :wink:

No, West Sussex originally but Kent was a bit of a stomping ground in the day, as was most of the south of England. :wink:

5000 miles from new! what year is it? Two grand is top dollar, remember things made of rubber and immersed in oils and fluids do degrade with time too, not just with use. ;)
