Do TDM 850 exhausts fit the TRX?

Post by johnktm » Mon Nov 25, 2013 11:18 am

Looking round ebay for cheap alternatives to the standard system I've notched there are more tdm systems,at lower prices, available than trx systems,it's the same motor isn't it,so would one those systems with some suitably altered hangers fit my trx or have I missed something in the design differences that make it impracticle?

Hi John

This has come up before and, while I have no personal experience, I believe the engines are at different angles so the pipes aren't interchangeable.

Cheers, Andy.

I've got one of those fitted but no upto date photos.

Very nice it is too!

Cheers, Andy.

Oh bugger!

Was worth a shot,being skint and trying to modify a bike is not an easy job :(

The 2 into 1 from Kayla is very nice indeed,but way out of my league,I was just looking for something,probably second hand and as cheap,but not nasty,as possible.

No worries, the search goes on :D

eta, thanks for the info.

Yeah as has been said, TDM motor leans further forward than TRX so pipes wont fit, full stop!
