Change to twin cam?

[Nick dj]

I have an 08 GS which went in for a recall. They sent me out on a new twin can and offered me a good deal to change.

My problem is my bike seemed quicker on the way home. It has a Apro end can and I have Decat the headers. Can you fit an Apro to the twin cam, (this will be expensive as I got mine secondhand) If you do what do you do with the flap in the front headers set it to open ?

I know some will say leave well alone but the changes to my bike have improved it so much, it pulls well even in top and weighs about 8lbs less(which I am sure helps).
What changes have any new owners made?
Thanks Nick

Unless they are offereing a free swap to a twin cam(lol) then they'll want at least £2k from you

Is it worth spending £2k or more to you?

If it is .................swap

If not, don't

They wanted £4400 off me to p/ex my 06 in for a twin cam so instead I put another years warranty on it at £350

That is exactly the same offer i had for an 08(58)plate

The exhaust valve is in it's own short section of pipe. You can remove it and fit the headers and can from your old bike or leave it in place and fit either a can or headers or both but these will need to be new as the old ones won't fit with the valve in place.

No changes anybody?

Has nobody with the new twin cam changed the end can?

Park lane BMW are offering one with an Apro already fitted.

And.. I'll take it you gave careful instructions where they could put that offer?

You can now buy Remus de-cat headers and Akrapovic (apra?) can for the new 2010 GS's.

nippy norman and Calsport do them..

That seems a fair offer

That seems a fair offer

Not if you'd rather put the £4400 towards a mint KTM 950SMR
