Simple answer, depends on how you want to fit it...?!

With the stock exhaust - probably not...

With a single can, it would be similar to the DRC Anato that I fitted to mine:





With a little bit of trimming to fit around the frame under the tail piece, and some washers/spacers to set the height correctly...

You can make anything fit within reason and a bit of jiggling... I prefer the shape of the Anato, but the Edge light is deeper so may well show up better under the lip at the back of the tail trim...

Get one and mess around with the Dremel, that's what I did... x

Yep.

But your number plate will melt with the gasses from your cans...... Unless you go for a 'show' plate (but Mr plod or VOSA might want to chat about that).

I guess it depends on the can..... a MTC can has a very wide outlet, and fits in close to the bike, whereas the OTR can (like Jenny's) sits wide of the bike.



For this to work with the MTC (or OE) then the number plate is going to be very narrow, or one sided.

The long tail lights of the Tenere do a very good job of keeping the numberplate and the exhaust apart! It would be nice to see a tail-tidy that used the OE tail lights, probably cost the earth though....
