My bracket uses just one bolt on the rearmost frame mounting and looks a bit wrong somehow - not tried to fit it back on yet but the original fitting was under a lot of tension.
Are there any decent off the shelf adjustable brackets available?
I have the original front pipes that are in good condition asside from the pipes being a tad rusted into the 4 into 1 part so might have to go for that and a new silencer otherwise.

Happy new year
Do these help?
It’s all I have of the bike before I replaced the Motad fie Delkevic

Although knackered Ted, I have a complete system that I took off Chewy, out on the scrap pile. As soon as I'm'home I'll bob out and have a look and see if I can get you some shots if I can and if you still need them.

Thanks Roo I've just been off to local Covid place to get our PCR test as we have both been quite ill since Christmas Eve mainly feeling washed out, no appetite with bad coughs. Only managing a few hours sleep a day due to cough - lateral flow test negative so might just be a winter flu even though we have had flu jabs.

This is the plate from my bit box I have undone the captive bolts that have steel spacers for the short plate - the captive bolts are spaced as per the rear two frame hanger holes on both sets of holes - there are two holes not shown on the bottom where it has a 90 deg bend to attach to the silencer.

Ted, the main bracket looks like the correct one for your 400 but I don't recognise the rectangular plate with 4 bolts.
I've removed the rectangular plate as it seems a bit ott looks just like Allan's mounting in his second photo with it removed.

Hi Ted, sorry for radio silence, had a hell of a day having diabetic issues and just haven't had the urge to get outside.......basically feeling really rough all last night and today topped off by the mother of all hypo's early this morning :-[. Needless to say I hobbled out half an hour ago tohave a look and indeed the fittings on whats left of mine are the same as yours and as described above. If you need a spare bracket I'll post it up to you before the scrap pile gets liberated to the van back and the merchants.

Thats good Ted, weare 3 miles from a centreand doc wantswife to test, nearest available 300 mle round trip!
Be easier to just get a PCR test kit posted out - at the test centres here you do your own swab anyway. Then post using the priority post boxes all details are in the test kit. You cN order the kits free online or ring 119

Hope you are all well
Thought I was getting on top of my back operation and now got a viral infection
Had a meeting via zoom with my surgeon and Interesting both the doc that checked me out today for possible sepsis and my surgeon and doctor both said go straight to a PCR test as lateral flow tests are not detecting Omicron very well
Luckily in Swindon there is a big test centre and booked it at 10am and test all done by 12pm
All I can say I feel like sh1t at the moment

Interesting what you said about the advice from the docs. The long Haired General works in the healthcare system and she knew nothing about that one in the slightest and just had it confirmed by a collegue. Interesting stuff.
Sorry to hear you're not having an easy one mate. Bestest thoughts being sent via the 'ether' Al, take care mate.
Here's a porn link to aid you're recovery ;) :o 8)

Hopefully is just a viral infection and not Covid-19 but my surgeon said need to rule this out first
Once we know then we can plan as due to op and now this not allowed the booster yet
Just need look after myself and surgeon said once we know the PCR test result we can then plan as if it is a negative result he will arrange a appointment to check what wrong )blood tests etc to see what I have caught as my wife is a bit concerned as it may be sepsis or another blood infection
Oh the joy of being private
Also thanks for the 2t bike porn but the way I feel at the moment may need one of these instead

Is that a tiny bike or are you a HUGE man Alan! (always fancied building a big engined Mito as a track bike as they are so small - but will never get round to it as prices have flown up for both Mito's and big single engines)No it’s a small Tigcraft super mono race frame that the PO had modified by Dave Pierce ( Tigcraft) to take a LC engine
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220106/da46f45d3881af2658a2e5f20a2aa3ca.jpg)
At the moment its just a roller and next problems to sort are exhaust and rad as room is very limited
Exhaust should be no issue but to solve cooling issues thinking of selling the PV engine and fitting a LC bottom end with RD 250 AC barrels
Need to finish CB400F first then crack on with this after
