Having just got a 89 R100GS PD I have a few questions that I hope some of you may be able to help with.
Firstly it has a Supertrapp exhaust fitted which does sound very nice, BUT is bordering on offensive and after 80-100 miles starts to make mine and any passengers ears bleed. Anyone now how to quieten them down? Tried removing plates makes little difference, I repacked it when I bought it. Or alternatively any replacement options that retain the original mounts and routing as the supertrapp fits as a direct replacement.
Secondly it needs a new set of tyres, now I am very unlikely to take it off road so want something suitable for the road and am not worried about off road suitability. I was thinking of Tourance as I had these on a 1200GS and they were very good but not sure how they would fair on the older bike.
Any advice readily received (may be ignored!!!)
Cheers Bill
