    Hahahah, yes, you have no idea how much I wanted to be able to remove that but...sadly, I failed. Is there a way we can delete our own posts? I hope you are right about the exhaust question. Getting pretty bleak out there for old XJ's I have resorted to getting the collector replicated in stainless but it certainly is not cheap! Also, it's a marving after market one so lacks the old rubber bush mounting. You have no idea how much vibration is taken out by that little modification! Here's hoping that someone will help. I might just purchase an old FJR 1300 silencer from a scrap yard just to see if it might fit. Trying times. I will try and improve my posting in future J

    Hi everyone, My last replacement exhaust for the XJ was a Marving 4 into two which fitted well and looked nice as well as running well. However the chrome fell off one of the silencers pretty quickly and no help was forthcoming from Marving when asked whether they thought this was acceptable (it was not) I'm now trying to sort the exhaust out again and options are extremely limited. There is one other post on these forums regarding the XJ900F exhaust where this was said: The picture no longer exists but I went to the Pipewerx site and can still find those silencers: https://www.pipewerx.co.uk/webshop/yamaha/fjr-1300-2001-2012/yamaha-fjr1300-2001-2012-pair-of-pipe-werx-plain-titanium-round-gp3-race-exhausts/ at least I think those are the ones referred to? I already have stainless downpipes and have a source to make me a collector box from the old one as a pattern however I have no way of confirming whether these silencers would fit or if there are any others that people know would work on the XJ900F 1990 model? So, can I ask, within the yamaha forum, does anyone know? Thanks in advance. James
