(A9600063) Link pipe T595 / 955i to suit Daytona high level Triumph can (A9600120)

Does anyone know where I can get a high level link pipe for the Triumph carbon silencer? I know Triumph don't make them anymore (part A9600063) but I'm having trouble finding an off the shelf replacement.

I can get one made locally but I was hoping I could just order one from somewhere. I already have the can and the mounting ("fitting kit") hanger & clamp - I just need the pipe.

I have already tried;

jcexhausts.co.uk
predatormotorsport.co.uk
mtcperformanceproducts.co.uk

Viper look like they do a few but like the ones above it looks like it will be for the standard height cans - I will check with them tomorrow but I'm not at all hopeful.

Does anyone have any ideas where else I can try?

Thanks.

 

I'm still after one of these if anyone can help? When I ordered the can and the (very expensive) mounting bracket I knew that the link pipe had been discontinued, but I didn't imagine for a second it would be so hard to find one.

I have bought a link pipe that I think will suit but the (can) end in the same diameter as the pipe on the can itself. As the pipe is already bent to shape I cannot have the end shrunk and can really only have the can's pipe stretched which I'd rather avoid.

Anyway, I still need one.

 

Nice one, thanks for the reply. I think the required route and length (for the link pipe) should be the same as your bike. Just to confirm, both ends of the link pipe fit INSIDE the headers & can? Regardless, thanks again, I will certainly give them a bell.

 

I've not got this sorted yet as I've been repairing my other bike after a spill on track, that has cost me £1000 that I hadn't bargained for. I will get this link pipe though later this year and the link that Shamus13 supplied looks to be just the job.

In answer to your question, a straight piece will not come anywhere near being suitable. The required piece has quite a significant "s" bend on it, plus, the bike is the type of quality that I would only fit something that is perfect. Thanks though

 

Apologies, I didn't read your original post correctly, what you suggest would work but just wouldn't be pretty enough for my purposes.

It's expensive! It is basically an alloy bracket, I've got the later, better looking one which is part number A9918006 ("fitting kit") at £93.89 and the clamp (A9930020) at £17.08. I had to go this route because it is my intention to keep the bike as perfect (and genuine Triumph) as possible. Be aware though that if you go for the Triumph part that there are two, an earlier design and a much nicer later design, both do the same thing for the same bikes - just aesthetics.

I got my from World of Triumph who were, as usual very helpful and gave 10% off upon the mention of being a Triumph owners club member. Not sure I'll bother with that again...

There is a guy who I found on an old forum page who makes the bracket ("fitting kit") who I got in contact with. He sent me a picture of his bracket which is milled out of alloy, looked good (nicer than the early Triumph item) and he seemed like a really nice guy. I didn't go for it as the Triumph one is a bit nicer and being a Triumph part is better for an investment quality bike. If the 955i was my general purpose bike I'd have gone for it like a shot, I think it was about £35 posted. If you google "makes 955i high level bracket" or similar, you might be able to find him. Annoyingly, I did have his contacts up to about 3 weeks ago when I changed phones and made a real pigs ear out of the change over.

I haven't got the link pipe sorted (I accidentally bought another bike since my last post..), Trident on Shamus's link above do not make one. I have managed to get a link pipe that is close but that needs altering and so that is what I will do. Other than that, I will just go to a specialist fabricator and have one made - far more hassle than I had ever imagined. It's really naughty that Triumph are still selling the silencers knowing full well that people cannot get the link pipe.

I hope that is of some use to you.

 

Good luck with it, let us know how you get on and I will do the same. When I get around to getting the link pipe sorted I will find out what the costs are for doing a few with the intention of making them available on here and eBay.

 

Hi Tel,

That's very kind of you but I think it will almost certainly be different. The triumph silencer has a short, bent pipe section coming out of it before it joins to the link pipe. It is unlike any other slip/bolt on I've seen.

I'm hoping the one I've got is the right route and if it is I have been told by a Trident that I should be able to get one end reduced (despite that it already has the bend in it) so it slips inside the Triumph silencer. I've got my fingers crossed that it is the right shape, if it is I will have been very lucky indeed.

It'll have to wait (again) though as I now have a 98 GSXR-750 that had been stored for 16 years (4200 miles) that I'm planning on taking to the classic TT in 7 days time. No pressure then...

Thanks again.

 

Finally!

I have sourced a genuine Triumph link pipe (A9600063) to suit the still available new Triumph high level carbon can (A9600120).

It has taken me 10 months to find that link pipe, they are rarer than rocking horse poo. I have a couple of contacts who can probably make copies of the pipe, I'm trying to gauge interest in doing that - let me know, I have a good feeling that there is a demand.

I can also get a good machined alloy copy of the "fitting kit" (AKA exhaust hanging bracket) (A9918006) for a lot less than the £93 Triumph want. I will also be looking in to the software and maps required too.

Anyway, is anyone interested in the link pipe? Once I've fitted it to the bike I won't be taking it off again to get it copied.

 

I haven't touched the bike since my last post although I have had the link pipe professionally polished. £10 and 10 minutes while I wanted made it look like new and saved me probably 4 hours with the Autosol.

I have also bought a OBD2 cable and downloaded the TuneECU software and map to suit the new exhaust. It will be the first time I have re-mapped a bike myself and I hope it might also help me diagnose why the fan comes on straight away even at stone cold. That said, as the fan does not have a relay, preliminary research suggests a knackered ECU...

Either way, I'll bung a before and after picture up when I get around to putting it on. I may do a separate post re the TuneECU depending on how I get on and if anyone is interested.

Cheers,

 

Hi Tel,

Will do, no worries, not sure when I will get around to it - I'm weather dependant. I've got a decent heated garage but it is so full I can only work on stuff outside - It's a right pain.

Where did you get your cable from and how much did it cost you? The reason I ask is that I know that Twinn Power do one for £20 but I got mine for £9 delivered from eBay. The listing to it only referred to VW's but it is the right 16 pin OBD2 and definitely the right chip-set so it should be fine. I will post how I get one though and hope I'm not jinxing it by saying that it looks fairly straight forward.

One thing I have read though is that the re-map causes such a drain on the battery that the battery cannot handle it and the result is a crash mid update. Apparently a (presumably) smart charger will not give enough amps to prevent this and it is suggested that you connect up another 12v battery for the update. I have a couple of smart chargers but I have recently bought a new traditional (no smarts in it) charger to recover a properly knackered battery that the smart chargers couldn't touch - it worked to A side note to that, I spent loads of time learning how to properly recover knackered batteries so if anyone wants so info I will do a post. NB; The Epsom salt & bi-carb route is NOT the solution. Anyway, my traditional charger will easily keep up with the drain the update causes I'm sure. Again I'll let you know as if I'm right and depending on your circumstances it might just be easier for you to come here and use my charger to do yours - no problem.

Lastly, did you source a hanger bracket? Like I said, I lost that guys number but recently I found his email with a picture of the said item. It's decent, new and I think £35 posted.

 

Yes, the headlight fuses, I had read that - good tip and a good reminder, thanks.

Your cable looks near identical to mine, same chip-set. If it works I'll post the link for it here for others as at £9 it's a bargain....hopefully....
