Default Silencer position

Hello

Had a hard weekend down the gaage - even had my girlfriend down helping me clean the driveshafts and diff and starting to paint them - she's much more patient painting than I am

In between making various bits and bobs which will hopefully have me on wheels in the next few weeks I decided to have a look at where to put my silencer. It's from a GSXR1000 K4 bike and was only £20 inc P&P (it even has a cat in it although I don't need one for my Pinto). Using the measurments that Spud gave me - I've clamped a bar in place where the rear arch should come to. Because it is a motorbike can, there is very little bend to the outlet so I need to position the can quite far forward to get it a reasonable distance from the arch.

I've attached a few pics of the mock-up.Out of interest what does everyone think of this setup - will it look ok? Position seem about right? Should I try and get a bend for the exit pipe?

Cheers

Dave
