Exhaust on
Was going for a imported pipe but once the duty is added and other fees it would of been not much cheaper.
Akroprovic in end and got a good deal.
Baffle out straight away.
No difference in power but sounds nice.
Not over loud either.

They are a great handling bike.not the fastest but awsome otherwise.All adjustable bars footrests. Now few years on the value is going up by the minute. Not a bike to commute ...

twin cam exhaust?
Hi all Going to rid my 1200r of the boat anchor exhaust, please what have you used for this twin cam model. Must be something cheaper than a akroprovic. Last 1200r 2009 bike I used a lazer hotcam. This model seems more limited. Not bothered about gaining hp just a little lighter and more noise. Chee...
