Can anybody tell me how you remove the standard can off the H2?
I cant see any bolt holes etc, all i can see is sum rivets. Do i need to drill them out?

sry, this might be a stupid reply, as i dont have any experince with the H model. But, have you tried just slipping the can off? it could be a slip on... if not then I have no idea, as your picture shows its got no bolt from the pipe work onto the can, only the rivits, but then if it was rivitted on then thats a bit daft..... sry if this is of no help....

It looks like one of those covers that go over the flange, no idea how they are fixed on, perhaps they just prise out??

That cover should be held on with a 6mm allen bolt, remove that and there's 3 13mm nuts underneath holding the can on

There is a point, just undo it at the headers, it means the whole thing will come off .

Might have to do that, but they arent that expensive as far as i know. If you cant get the can off you got no choice anyway but to replace the whole thing. Depends how bothered you are i guess, but have a go at removing that cover, strange how its such a pig to get off, thats the first ZXR ive seen with one tho.

On mine there were 2 torx bits holding the cover on with the bolts under the cover.

If not...
