Make it your next project you won't be dissapointed,I'm tight as a ducks arse and didn't want to pay for something I didn't really need but I wished I'd done it years ago.

Exhaust has a nice burble on tickover which is quite enough not to upset the neighbours but when your riding and wind the throttle on it's smile factor sound  

The exhaust comes with two baffles so you can choose which sound your looking for personally I like the louder one......just so the wildlife hears me coming on the way to work as I work shifts ! so it's a safety feature

Is that non-neighbour upseting burble with the loud or the quiet baffle? I'm really keen on getting one, but need to earn Brownie-points with the loved-one by sorting the kitchen first

Both are quite and not intrusive on tick over the difference is on the road,I prefer the louder straight through baffle,it'sa great sound.

Just got one for mine very easy to put on and looks great will have to see now what it does to the gal hope it's the same

Mr B - any chance of a close up photo of the centre-stand support please?  I have one of the earlier GPRs and they didn't come with that.  I have put something in place but would prefer something that looks "cleaner".

Cheers!  Dan

I think I struck gold! I bought almost new tri oval of 2011 wee for £65 from (hated by a lot of people) ebay. That included postage and packaging. And each part was wrapt up in several layers of newspaper as if it was crystal glass ;).
The exhaust was missing clamps, springs and baffle. I ordered the lot the lot from gpr uk website for £40. So all in the almost new system will cost me £105. Not bad ;)

It took me just under 1 hour to take the stock exhaust off and put GPR on. Actually taking the old one off was the most time consuming job

The fit of the new one is very neat and tight. Maybe too tight, it is just clearing the swing arm. But then it was when the bike was on the centre stand so the swing arm won't go any further. Right?



Also, it does not fit exactly like the stock one onto the down pipes, however it still went on them fair bit. Is this acceptable?


The last bit that concerns me is the way the centre stand. When it is up it is not as up as it was with the stock exhaust. Do I have enough ground clearance? I don't think that I will be taking he off roar

I saw that exhaust on ebay , you had a bargain ..The way it fit's is normal , mine is the same apart from the stand . Yours seems a bit low .
