Can Hangers

[windchill]

My 2003 lemon is fitted with MG's own Ti cans, hung, with the hangers that came with the kit, from "reversed" pillion pegs - an idea that someone on here came up with to move the hanging point further aft.

 

Questions:

1. has anyone got any idea where I can buy something better than the hangers that came with the kit - they "walk" the can as the bike heats/cools/vibrates, thereby pushing the rubber protectors out and scratching the surface of the cans.

 

2. if no, any ideas where I can get a supply of rubber/plastic "channel" section to keep replacing?

 

3. does anyone know of a company making replacements for the whole pillion peg bracket/plate assembly - preferably without pegs? I want to make her a pure single seater.

 

Thanks.

I have experienced the same.

on V11 should fit eshaust hangers from RSV. The latest models that have two cans should be best. My approach to solving these trouble was:

 

1. Get your GF/wife her own bike.... solved

2. Obtain used hangers from 1100 Sport which should be the same as yours and

 

use the your imagination how to remove the pass.pegs completely

 

I used simple saw for aluminium, then cleared all the hangers and finally, sprayed them with the Geniune HD Crank paint I used on my engine. It looks just perfect.

 

as for the channel section, I will try to get it from Stein-dinse or buy anteenas man rubber tape (the self-vulcanizing one) and do the rubber thing myself

 

 

good luck to you

Thanks for that!! Wife won't go near the bikes, son hates the Guzzi now the pillion pegs are so high up, and daughter has just bought herself a 600!!

 

I had hoped someone might have made a nice lightweight aluminum hanger like the one N-W-S do for Triumph.

 

Suppose I could do the hacksaw thing, but......
