Title: XBR500 exhaust port flanges
Post by: xbruby on April 01, 2009, 01:09:54 PM: Guys,

Does anybody know where I can get a pair of XBR500 exhaust flanges? I have sourced the split collars and gaskets from David Silver but can't find the flanges.

I believe the flanges are plain oval, as per the Micron exhaust system, but am struggling to find them.

I can always get some made but sourcing original or pattern parts is more desirable as it is cheaper.

Regards,

Andy

There was someone selling stainless ones on eBay recently for £25. I haven't fitted mine yet, so if you need sizes etc, let me know.

Good luck.

Hi Dave,

I called David Silver and they told me they no longer stocked the exhaust flanges. If you could take a quick trace of one it would be hugely useful if I have to get some machined.

Thanks and regards,

Andy

Hi Bob,

I am not sure but if memory serves me correctly it's the same engine so that's a 'probable' yes but it would take one of the more knowledgeable brethren to confirm this point. Out of interest do you have some spare that you might consider selling?

Thanks and regards,

Andy

Good luck.

Thank you Crackhead, available from Germany and not too unreasonable.

If all other avenues prove fruitless I will procure some from this supplier.

Thanks and regards,

Andy

Post by: xbruby on April 06, 2009, 08:05:59 AM: Perfect Bob! Shot blast and HT coating and they will be as good as new!

Let me know how much you want for them.

Thanks and regards,

Andy

Hi Bob,

Not sure if you got my email as it may have been filtered out by the spam filter? In case you didn't please check your PM's.

Many Thanks,
