Anyone ever try to OPEN UP a stock Baggy pipe? I know guys do it on cruisers all the time and was curious if anyone had tried it on a Baggy. If not, what kind of pipe you guys running?

Never tried to empty mine, but just lifting it off the bike will show you what a handicap it is in both weight and performance. I have just fitted a new can and link pipe from the CarbonCan Co in the UK. this along with a drilled airbox has improved the bike immensely. I would save your energy and go for a replacement ( its not as if the original is very good looking either :-D )

TAKE THE PIPE OFF !!!!! save 20 odd pounds, not to mention up to 6 hp gains with proper jetting !!!! The sound of my M-4 keeps getting better with age.........

Interchangable M4 cans?

I see alot of M4's on ebay for much much less cost than new, but of course, none are for the MZ. I called them up to see if any of their other models would interchange and the guy I talked to said no, and he did not seem to try to be helpful. has anyone had any luck or are they truly model specific? Maybe I've become too much of a bargain hunter, lol.

The M-4 Can I have is Part # MZ 6312 (listed for a Mastiff) Polished
MZ 6314 Is Carbon, MZ 6316 is Titanium...................The bracketing for the tall baggy (see my pic) sucks, the picture is what it will look like out of the box waaaaay too low, I changed the bracket moved it forward twisted and screwed around to get it up............now, the exhaust tip is right under my blinker, I just used my own bracket, (no bending or welding was done!!)If you want see detailed pict of what I did I will be happy to post the shot with side cover off etc etc etc :-D

Sounds like a personal problem........ :smt044 I will take a couple shots of my bike and post them tonight our time....................when I did this I loosened all the bolts except the header bolts.... moved an twisted the whole can and mid pipe, (also slide the pipes closer together to get the angle) got it to where I liked it then tightened everything down.... its not the smartest way of doing it as I have some small leaks but they have always beens there, doesn't really bother me nor does the bikes performance suffer.........cheers
