DL 1050 XT Fuel exhaust
« on: April 02, 2021, 09:54:33 »
Has anybody fitted a Fuel Diablo exhaust to their 1050. Any feedback would be helpful.

23 degrees two days ago, 7 degrees today - but at least it ain’t raining!

Cheers

can't help you with the exhaust apart from the fact I have a Stainless steel fuel fitted to my Glee- sounds the business.

However, 7 deg is tropical- its 2 deg up here in Scotland :-)

Thanks for that.
2 deg is coming our way soon, maybe less. I love the spring!

I had one on my 14 strom(pretty much the same thing). Didn't like it because for me it was to loud. Also caused the bike to stumble at low revs, 2000-2500rpm, the first 14models did suffer from this however. Sold it and changed to a Remus, quieter, better made,  no stumble but twice the price!

Thank you. Louder is OK, stumbling at low revs is not. I have only just got the bike (today in fact, did a hundred miles on twisty B roads and am well pleased) so will maybe hang fire for a bit as though the stock pipe is enormous, the sound is not too bad, muted but still sounds grunty on the throttle.
