pertonpc Offline User Posts: 26 Thank you received: 3	Yes there is only a repro silencer & clamps available at the moment for the standard pipes. Perhaps one day someone will produce the front part? Have seen a few with a four pipe conversion using Z1 items - which I think was also done by dealers in Germany back in the day - so kind of original.
