'05 ZX6 Two Brothers Installation Problem

Hi all - I'm new to the forum but excited to be here!
My name is Skye and I live in Sydney. I have a blue '05 ZX6.
I have had my bike for a year and decided to get the Two Brothers Dual Slip-ons because they look totally awesome. I've opted for installing myself, with a little assistance from my man , but we're having an issue getting the junction tube to fit into the collector. It just seems like the angle isn't right. I would be stoked to hear any tips / ideas, and excited to know what we're doing wrong!

Thanks!

Hi Skye, welcome to KSRC.....
Its not the easiest to fit but I found that some high temp grease makes a world of good
Best pipe for the 636 but viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26987&hilit=two+bros

The angle does seem all wrong!

There's a cover that's part of the swing arm - make sure you've taken that off. It's still a tight fight though. Use swear words - that seemed to help get mine in. And a booby flash to keep him motivated to continue after skinning knuckles

You could also loosen the headers if the bolts are accessible to give some flex room.

welcome skye! you'll love the two bros... they sound hot on the beautiful 636

Hi and Welcome!

Can't assist with any contribution to the install. Infact the more of this post you read, the more of your time i'm wasting, Sorry and goodluck.

Thank you all so much for your help! Cath, I will definitely get that cover off and have another go. The header bolts are really hard to get to so I might make that a last resort! Thanks to all for saying how great the pipes are, I'm so excited to get it going!
