Look like Gibsons. Same as on the Hippo.

On eBay at the moment. I'm slightly tempted, but will have to see how they go.
Best regards, Gary.

GS550 alloys fit* and are cheaper.
With some faffing.

But much cheaper. melbers are really common, I've got some on the Hippo.......

You can make owt fit owt with a bit of brute force & ignorance, Mike.
Just look at Paul's resto threads.

Too expensive for me - especially as they might not fit. Hope expansion chambers don't go this expensive.

Re: GT550 expansions and alloys..
I asked at the Higgspeed stand at the Stafford show why the downpipes are so angular for the GT triples. Apparently the exhaust port angle cannot be accommodated by a constant radius curve. At the risk of starting an Euclidean geometry debate - I'm not so sure.
