Hi all
This is new to me but can any one help me, i have recently just purchased a bandit 1200sa, and want to make it my own. I would like to fit TWIN HIGH LEVEL EXHAUSTS. I saw some at the N.E.C bike show, from a company called TRACK AND RACE, thought here we go nice removeable baffles, bs stamped stainless steel lifetime guarentee (so I thought). What turned up two weeks later, was a poor link pipe, pants welding internal weld just sploged all over the place, and link pipe not even formed properly one can lower than the other. No stamps on the can, and the baffles touching the inside of the cans, no guarntee that they were even stainless steel.
So after a lot of hassle ive got my money back.
So please DONT buy from TRACK AND RACE. You can never get hold of them and there after sales service is poor.
So Please can anyone help me find a TWIN HIGH LEVEL EXHAUST FOR MY Bike. :sad:

Are you wanting a high mount, or are you just really wanting the twin exhaust?

Im looking for high level exhaust with one can either side of the rear of the bike. I would like to leave the footpegs on as well. Cheers

Holeshot makes a high mount exhaust. I have one installed on my bike and I like it. You also have the option to either leave the footpegs on, or take them off. Here is a pic of mine.

Nice picture of your bike. Your heading in the right direction, but im looking for a exhaust each side of the bike.

Ooops, you double posted. Anyways, So you are looking for the twin exhaust. I think that they look nice, but provide no advantage. I remember the last pics that I saw and it went 4-1-2. Just like how Honda did on their 919. Also don't forget, you will lose your centerstand as well.

The centre stand is all ready gone, cant ride with that big `ol lump of metal hanging on for dear life underneath.
The twin high level just looks the part, its not really a performance thing, but it will look the part. Problem im having is as its a 56plate bandit no one wants to stick there neck out and say that a 05 plate system will fit. Holeshot system does look the part but its only single and im in the uk. (DOH...!!!)

Yep, I believe that is what he is looking for. Here is another setup from Streetfighter magazine.

Another way to do it, and to save money as well, is to go to a reputable exhaust shop and have then make it for you. I am having a pipe made by a shop that does custom pipes for just about anything as we speak, and it is only going to cost me 200 bucks. They use good tubing, and as long as you can provide pictures and bring your bike in so that they can map it all out, it turns out just as good if not better than the ones on line, and they slip into the collector. When it is finished I will post the results, but I have to order another Yosh can for the other side so it will be a little while.

Thats exactly what im looking for. Im fitting a FUEL exhaust at the moment, its from a british company, the dyno is booked so as soon as i get the results i will post them. The guys at the dyno centre reckon a twenty to twenty five bhp increase from the standard can. As regards to the high level, I have also found a custom bike chap local to me and he said he could make the link pipe fo about £150 ( about $300). He is looking in to it for me as the new bandit's number plate and indicators are located on a large plastic tail piece which is all moulded to the undertray.
I cant find anyone back here that can help me with the undertray for the 06' bandit. Id quite like to fit a undertray with the indicators moulded in to it so i can remove the big lolly pop jobbies.
So can anyone help with this as well would be very much appriecated.
Horse.!!!

There are several ways to do rear flush-mounts. You can order these.... http://www.banditmania.co.uk/images/IN%20YOUR%20FACE%20CLUSTER.JPG or you can make them yourself.

THis is what I did with mine. I purchased the parts for 20 bucks, and then drilled the plastics. I put Two sets on mine because the smeg heads here need a little more to see.

I think that they are being a bit over optimistic on the increase. I did a slip-on and jet kit and got about 11 extra ponies form my B12. I know that some folks may be able to get a few more, but 20 to 25 extra?

Yeeeaaaaa... I am inclined to agree with Solman JUST a freeflow can is only going to give you about 5-6 HP, then you have to concider the Baffles in the midpipe (another 4-5 HP) Jetting and opening up your air intake will add more. I have Dyno'd on 3 separate occations with my new settings (Yosh bolt on, K&N, stock Pilots, larger mains, 1 needle shim, snorkel removed, and with some bitching and groaning and fine tuning the A/F screws) I pulled 117 avg with that set up. 5 Degree advancer smoothed it out, but unless you get into the GSXR Cams, piston upgrade, and stage 2 Jet kit, that is about all you are going to get out of it. There are some guys on here that have seen more than that, but they also have Holeshot or Ivan's Jet kits I have the poor mans kit. But hey if you believe everything you see advertised I would have married, boned, and procreated with Angelina Jolee by now... :lol:

Im not sure either on the increase but we will see when it goes in for a run. Its going to Steve jordans, he does alot with engine set ups and suspension settings for British super bikes . He setup my girlfriends gsxr 750 K7 when they fitted a arrow exhaust system and remapped it, it turned a awesome superbike in to a flipping rocket ship. Lets hope they can sort out the B12. I will post results when I get the bike done.
