Well it says right there: For DIO (Euro). Ain't nobody said it fits an Elite, now did they?

Arrived a day early, in a box completely padding-free. I'm not sure how they get UPS to accept a box like that, but here it was.
Fortunately no damage to the pipe nor to what appears to be the same crushed-eggshell gasket that spontaneously grenaded while running my V8 pipe. It was rattling around loose save for a plastic bag. It's a true Xmas miracle it wasn't shattered. The exhaust's fit-and-finish were a pleasant surprise, as was the precision of the mechanical fitment points. I really like the design; clean. However there was - ahem - a problem: Yes, it's as close as it looks. I have no idea if it fits the DIO or not, but it sure don't fit the Elite without modification. It was an uncharacteristic bit of foresight that prevented me from taking the scooter off the centerstand to observe what surely would have been an instantly-cracked turn signal lens.
All I need to do is cut the stinger "U" section and rotate it about 60 degrees clockwise, then weld it back up. Unfortunately welding is hard without skills

Turning philosophical, maybe this is the Baby Jesus' way of telling me I need a Japan tail?

Just be advised if you consider purchasing this pipe. For now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with it.
