Anyone tried a Beowulf silencer?

[JR1K]

I am considering fitting one of the tri oval Beowulf silencers.

Has anyone tried them?

I have Keihan Headers which have a very close tolerance to the front of the engine but are brilliant performance wise.

And they fit well with the SW Motech engine bars.

The standard bike is lethargic by comparison. Bit like me if I miss my Ashma inhaler!

Any advice much appreciated

I've fitted a Beowulf oval stainless powder coated can to my 08 1200.

Great qualitey, lifetime guarantee,nice people to deal with,10% Tossers discount makes a cheap great sounding product.

there was one for sale last week in the for sale section, cant remember how much, but they are only 120 odd quid new so cant have been much



nice exhausts though

zorst

That might be meeee
Mr AIMDAM put it up for sale, Mr K had first dibs, somehow ended up at the residence of Mr Snoopy, and now it's firmly attached to my bike.

Gave it a little shake down over the weekend and really impressed. Quality is up there with the others, exhaust note is a little deeper but not OTT with a very marginal increase in mid-range. Baffle out is fun for a weekend romp, but I personally feel the bike was happier with the baffle in. Now that I haven't spent my last ££ on some fancy named zorst I have some spare which will go on new cat free s/s headers and then I believe both the bike and I will be happy (well for a while anyway).

Oh yes got one of those. Its mated to SS no cat downpipes with no cross pipe. If I take the baffle out it roars like thunder

Baffle in it still roars but children dont burst into tears as I pass in the high street.

dont want to piss on anyone's chips,

but seriously,

running a free flow exhaust, with cat free headers WILL make your bike run dangerously lean.

dangerous as holing piston lean, has happened and no doubt will do again.

problem is that from factory the 1200 comes out very lean as standard as to pass emissions, you now add exhaust and again no doubt a K&N, and you could be in for some expensive repair, and the standard ECU will not compensate.

just to make you aware.

read up, search, get it dynod
if you dont believe me i will dig out a previous post.

here we go

quote''had the bike dynoed on Monday to see it it was fueling properly.

shame i found out that on anything but 90% throttle openings its running dangerously lean and in real danger of melting pistons or valves!
So im gonna need a powercommander then , mark said that the best rout to take it get the newer one's and give him the pipes to weld in 2 lamda sensor's , one in each downpipe so he can map each cyl separately
Just have to find the money for the PC and setup time .

so u may get those pipes sooner rather than later as id really rather not melt any engine internals if i can help it and am laying up the bike till i can get the cash together for the setup'' quote

 

[Mikefirefighter]

Oh well something else Im doing wrong then

Well my headers dont glow red from a dangerously lean engine. Does that mean anything?
