    There is a pair of nice, original 2006-2010 FJR 1300 chromed mufflers for sale close to my place. I could get the pair for a very good price.

    One of my Seca 900s still has its original 4-in-2 exhaust system, but the cans aren't in good shape.

    I wonder if it would be a lot of work to fit the FJR mufflers on the Seca? Had any of you tried that before? I suppose I would need to fab my own support brackets, but I'm more concern with the length, the shape and the diameter of the tube in front of each muffler.

    Even if that is possible, would the engine run right without rejetting?

    I'm also opened to other suggestions if you successfully experimented with other mufflers.

    I'd ask the seller for dimensions. Then you can make a mock-up from cardstock before buying.

    Sent a message to the seller this evening, he replied to me with his phone number, talked several minutes with him, this guy appeared to live 15 minutes from my place. He sounded very friendly. I sent him pictures of what I'm looking for. He said he has lots of exhauts and mufflers off of bikes in the '80s, He also offered me to come see my bike this week and check what we could fit on it.

    Sounds promising !

    Seller says the internal diameter of the section of tube that would joint with the collector box is 1.75 inch, can anybody confirm if it would fit the 4-in-2 exhaust systemof an XJ900RK?

    DOes a member have already his mufflers off and can measure external diameter of the exhaust pipes at the joint passed the collector box?

    Thanks

    I got the diameter of the airbox outlet from hogfiddles, it is actually 1.5 inch , if we add the gasket thi9cness it makes roughly 1,75 inch.

    I met the seller today, he brought one muffler, the main problem is the tube section before the muffler is crooked in a very special way, so it wouldn't fit. These cans are VERY long and VERY big too.
