… In a nutshell I want to fit R5K high sweep pipes to my R4 to make it look more like the works replica it was (loosely) based upon
Having read many threads on here I know they (the pipes) will fit and going by the replies you also need to swap out the sub frame and plastic undertray, - however it doesn’t seem as easy as that as there are a number of subtitle differences with brackets for the electrics, tabs for the cable clamps and also a holder for rear brake reservoir..
If we park to one side the brackets for the Pipe hangers and foot pegs the next major difference is the holder for control unit and the rear brake res
Next one is the hanger towards the front, 2 prongs on the R4 Verses the 3 prongs on the R5 plus half a dozen of these small pips for holding the plastic clips to retain the wiring
And on the rear this is on the R4 and missing altogther on the R5
So the question is … Do I carefully Cut the mounts off for the rear pegs and Pipes and transplant them onto the R4 sub frame ensuring they are positioned correctly for the cans – that way I’d retain all the brackets for the electrical system and the rear brake reservoir and keep it all neat (this is what I'm favouring and re powder coat)
Or do folk go the other way and do a straight swap and simply secure the electrics in place with cable ties and perhaps upgrade to one of these piggy back jobs to solve the brake problem, this seems to be the quick / dirty option
