Hey old greg - if you turn the exhaust clamps around the bolt head will be on the outside and it will look better.

I will try to get a photo of the link pipe posted tomorrow.

My screen on my phone is knackered and that is the only digital camera i have, but i will try and rob my brothers one.
I only please one person per day.
Today is not your day, tomorrow isn't looking good either.

yes there should only be one shallow bend at the bottom by the clamp... for the 3tj model.

where the bracket attaches to the rear hanger get a longer bolt and fit spacers, my ART can was fouling the swingarm till i did this now it's about 10-15mm clear of the swing arm..Difficult to fit unless you've got 3 arms but once it's done it looks awesome..
