Twin Exhaust system for the DL650

[Fat Rat]

I am speaking to one of our friendly Exhaust manufacturers to see if a twin system is technically viable for the DL650 and to see if they would be willing to make one.

They have asked the very reasonable question 'how many people would actually buy it'?

So, assuming the price is right, who would fork out for a twin can system for the DL650 (imagine, no more envy)?

The firing pulses are staggered. The only reason for twin cans would be appearance. Weight and performance would be contraindicated reasons.

It's all about filling that gap on the left hand side of the bike for me   

[Mark Shelley]

More weight and possibly wider luggage. Why would you?

[Fat Rat]

There's a good chance that an after market twin system would still be lighter than OE.  There is no reason for wider luggage.

Pity there's no space for twin pipes under the seat like on a proper adventure bike....

If the weight could be kept down not too bad, but don't need the bike to be any heavier.

[Rich:-)]

to be honest I have no idea why the headers on my SD990 join to become one and then separate again.
I suspect they do join them simply so you just need 1 cat and 1 O2 sensor.

I suppose with a twin set-up the silencers could be physically smaller and still have the desired effect noise wise, and be freer flowing..

I don't know I'd be interesting in forking out too many beer tokens though. I'd guess it'd be £400 at least, likely more?

where would I keep my spare fuel and that fire extinguisher

[branc]

Would this be easy to do? If it wasn't too expensive I'd go for 2 short end cans, would fill the gap nicely

[Fat Rat]

It isn't good news I'm afraid, apparently there isn't enough room to get a link pipe in safely 

[Ali p.]

that's a shame. Still good of you to try and find out.

[plumber02]

why don't you just buy the 1000 ,

[Fat Rat]

I don't want a DL1000!

The new one is silly and pointy and the older one, although a great bike, wasn't what I was looking for when I bought the Glee
