Doesn't look like a Micron at all tbh, IRRC the Micron hasn't got link pipes. It looks more like the BEET I used to have.

they are identical apart from the fittings that go into the head,my washers ,im not sure what you call them,tey are all one piece at the top,the only loose thing is what the bolts go through,apart from that the bends ar identical ,everything else,i brought them in my sitting room to compare,they have an inside 47 mm inside diameter at the end ,where you bolt on the can.same as stock.thanks for the pics,i went to a lot of trouble today to get these.

these are pics i found of a beet off a cbr 400,they look identical to yours the only difference in mine are the spacers are not loose,their one piece and dont slide up and down the pipes,i now have myself convinced i have a beet system!!

That's wicked mate
If not BEET they might be copies as I know a few companies in england make copies a little cheaper than genuine ones. But whatever the case they're still top bits of kit and I bet you're well chuffed

no, it's not a micron. microns don't have the pipes linking the headers, they are 4-2-1 and have them between when it goes into 2 and the diameter is massive
