I had a 28mm socket and had to hammer that baby for a while with my impact wrench to get it off.
BTW, I just posted some mods and photos of my new XF200 over in the maintenance forum.

This would be the updated pictures of the new exhaust. I've kinda got a funky rig going on right now because I wanted to get it on there and riding before it snows.
Yep, that is a copper fitting; it's an unheard of 2" to 1.25" reducer. The reason I didnt get a pipe that fits is because the price was right. I was on ebay about 8 days ago and saw this viper race can. These are going for $300-400 bucks, but there was an auction with no bids, no reserve, free shipping, but there were 8 days left with no buy it now. I thought that I'll throw a silly bid and move on. 8 days passed and I'm freaking out because there is an item that I apparently won, so I thought my account was hacked. It was the race can, $81 with free shipping, so I made it work.
There is also the vapor computer pics as well.

Well done! Thats a good win that! I've been looking for a muffler myself on Ebay Aus but all I have seen is a chinese can for $50, trouble is it needs a 55 to 38 mm reducer and I can't find one anywhere! Not sure I could beat one out of copper but might try as it worked for you, that is a great idea!
I made the migration to Florida and brought the XF200. Also I converted her to a KTM.:lol8:

Nice looking bike dirtypickle. I'm going to be test riding my new china bike shortly. I didn't see and of the stuff on mine but then it is a 2008 and maybe they snuck it in under the EPA radar. I will be posting some pictures of mine during assembly after I get done with the Thanksgiving thing. I road through part of Minnasota this past summer on my BMW. Maybe you saw me....LOL

Wow, aren't these bikes just purdy! Probly did see your BMW, but there seems to be an abundance of those here. I think I did see an xf200 the other day but the stop lights wouldn't let me catch up to see for sure. It's winter now and am already itching like crazy to ride again. ::Thumbs down:: to minnesota... boooo
It's not much better here in Michigan. Today is a balmy 40F. I'm trying to put the rest of my bike together so I can take it for a toad rest. I had to run to Lowe's. Seems some of the fasteners I needed weren't in the box of junk. I was trying to follow the directions and just gave up. I'm just putting it together the way it looks like it should fit ... LOL. Later, just had a late lunch now back to work.
