GSXR canister on my Seca
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2014 10:55 pm
Just finished fitting a GSXR (# 35F0) canister to my Seca II. I purchased the bike 7 weeks ago for $2000 with 3505 miles on the clock and it had a new set of tires as well! It is totally stock and in near showroom condition except for the Vance & Hines 4 into 1.(don't ask me why!!) It was so loud and obnoxious that it had to be removed along with the reflectors and mirrors.
The 2001-2003 Suzuki 600/750 "can" has a big following in the dual sport community and I've used one in the past on another bike. I found this one for $60 in excellent condition from a private party. An aftermarket stainless steel flange is currently available for $15 so all I needed was a short piece of 2" exhaust pipe tubing and I was ready to go. After correctly positioning the flange with the 2" tubing, I welded the two together and then inserted it into the V&H mid pipe and completed the welding. I made the muffler bracket out of 3/8" aluminum plate and then finished with all the final adjustments. The exhaust wrap had been sitting around for years so I thought I would use it if only for aesthetics.
The bike now has a throaty and mellow sound; well worth the effort.
