I have a line on a y-pipe off a 2004 r1150gs is it compatible with the 04 r1150r?
Thanks,
Dan...

I have been running a Sebring Y-pipe from a GS in my 2003 R for years now. I'm pretty sure that the '03 and '04 Roadster's have identical exhaust systems but I don't know if the same is true for the GS. I found the Sebring in the IBMR.org site want ads.
BTW, one small issue with the Y-pipe is that the OD of the tubing is slightly smaller than that of the cat it replaces. This means that the clamp is a bit too large to cinch things down. My solution was to cut some shims from sheet aluminum to use under the clamps. Others have used hydraulic system clamps or have cut the stock clamp's spacer to allow it to contract a bit more.
