wreckers in Brissy?

Post by Yankee »

hey all (namely QLD-KSRCians)
you guys know of any wreckers specifically for bikes that would have a repatoir (sp) of slightly used but not destroyed after market pipes? was looking on the net and found a few places in other areas, but it'd be cool to pick up an aftermarket can on the cheap from a place nearby.....
i think i remember a place in Albion? is it still there (never go over that way)
cheers for any clues
p.s. just cuz i am really getting tired of having a bike that sounds like a brother sewing machine (i have one and the comparison is un-canny), but being a student, can't afford the "new" prices on ANYTHING really...... :wink:

Queensland Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals, do custom work ( I own 2 complete systems ) as well as repairs. They usually have a few 2nd hand cans laying around that they've reskined, give them a call 38089377 ask for Noel. Noel might even be able to repack your standard can, if you're trying to do it on the cheap. Good luck!

Not a problem, only to happy to help save bikes from sounding like household appliances. QMEP is located just off Moss St. at Slacks Creek. My mates SRX-6 sounded like a postie bike, now it can be heard from outer space (but it still past noise testing at DP).
