Whilst I do agree with you on this, if you read my first post you will see that this is not an option. The pipe has corroded where it meets the flange between the two headers.


Therefore I have a choice:-
  1. Buy a new pipe (and possibly a gasket)
  2. Buy a blanking kit
  3. Make a blank to fit
Having never removed this part (and bike is not available to me for a week or so) I just wanted to know if this can be done without the faff of removing the headers and would I need to replace the gasket.
