    Hi Shaun,well to be honest mate I gave it a fair crack of the whip but it just weren't happening,I resorted to changing to some renthal flat bars in the end, they ate slightly longer than the standard but shorter than the braced. Tbf I really like the look of the bars and finished them off with some bar end mirrors. Gives it a subtle street fighter look. Really just left with getting some aftermarket foot pegs and the bike is more or less complete ,will get some pix up ASAP as soon as I suss out how to upload in here lol

    I have just fitted a sc projects full system to my XJ6..seems a decent system. Think choice will boil down to what you can afford really

    No problem,yeah think mine are 755mm,I'll have another crack at it this week or the weekend. If I get stuck or any problems I'll stop you a msg..cheers Shaun

    Awesome,my bars I'm trying to fit are approx 740mm they are renthal streetfighters.(is that about the size of yours?) Almost lost hope that these could not be fitted so chuffed to bits it can be done.

    Cheers,that sounds like a hell of a lot of work to me though,I'm surprised there isn't 50mm extra play either side though,not a lot is it. Got a feeling I'll be scrapping this idea

    ..haven't fitted any renthal handlebars to your XJ6 have ya? I'm having a right mare here lol
  10. Hi mate,I don't think it will be an issue,I've just fitted an sc projects full system and and heard anyone mentioning mot issues with it

    I own an XJ6 and just bought myself some renthal streetfighter handle bars,they are approx 100mm longer than standard bars si when I fitted then the cables were pulling too tight,has anybody fitted longer bars and got over the problem I have? I know I've seen somewhere an XJ6 with these type of bars on so I'm guessing it can be done. Also if someone's reading this could some one give me the measurement from top of yoke to centre of handles bars as I'm thinking that the risers I have on may not be the originals and hindering the fitting of the new bars ... Thanks muchly )))

    cheers for the reply... think my post got moved so only just found it yes this is what I assumed, actually I recently spoke to a guy who had the same exhaust/problem and he actually fiited his the opposite way to mine,ive emailed sc projects but they're English isn't the best and they cant give me a definite answer either,they suggested I send pix. strange thing is the pipes are having a tendancy to pull to the left and have touched and melted the belly pan(didn't notice when fitted originally) but weirdly enough the guy who fitted his the opposite way has experienced the pipes pulling in exact same direction!! he ended up cutting small part of the belly pan to accommodate this.. ....nightmare eh lol

    Hi. Any of you guys fitted an sc projects exhaust to an xj6? I've bought a second hand one and trying to work out correct fitting. Basically the header pipes are numbered 1/4 and I'm trying to work out if it's left to right as if your looking from the front or rear of the bike towards the exhaust. Guy I purshased it of can't help and I've been in touch with sc projects but the language barrier is tricky to get my question across. I've fitted it left to right as if your looking at header pipes from rear of bike but it's niggling me whether this us right it not?! Any clues guys? )
