Very nice 
Confirmed list - what are you riding on the trip?
- Thread starter Magnum
- Start date
I'm thinking about one of these seats but they are quoting 6-8 weeks lead time
Did you buy another seat and sent it away?

James Renazco got a new seat from KTM USA and reworked that.
6-8 weeks lead time sounds very good.
I ordered mine in October and was given a March build date !!

Well, I never! Spy pictures!
I took the family to the Science Museum in London last Saturday.
I was quite surprised to see that BMW was there in force, displaying their new modifications to improve the GS' straight-line stability...
Note the saucer catching engine oil
They also displayed their all-weather protection solution...

Joking aside, after a major row with a KTM dealer yesterday, I may well swap my Katoom for a Beemer sooner than I thought...
...not sure about the bubble-car though. Mind you, my older brother had one in the late sixties...
Wonder what I'd get for my SM against a GS or GSA??

THAT is a luvverly piece of bike porn.
If I'd seen that before I fell in love with Katie, I may have been converted to run on leaded, or bat for the other side.
That has to be what we were talking about for your perfect bike - go for it!
I have to say, that I really do believe I've found a really good ride. V-twin, fast, grippy, torquey, above average comfort, better than average wind protection, reasonable tank range...and orange
Shame about the Lubetronic, though
Can't see me wanting to change it any time soon.
Mind you, a brace of those puppies would look pretty cool dans the Alps

Trés jolie, mon ami
Exhaust ordered. Look at these bad boys
I prefer the single can myself (sorry-just being honest...................
) I thought you had a single Akra can for the MM,if that will fit the 12GSA and you're looking to get rid,drop me a pm
Cheers,
Steve.

Mags i was looking at that exhaust when i bought mine and got offered one for 500 qiud (about a grand new i think ) but got told they are not road legal as they sound like a old stock car , a nice sounding old stock car that is 
.
Dont think yr panniers fit with it either, not 100% sure but might be worth lookin into before you spend yr cash mate.
I was told you can get baffels made for them but even with them they are very loud,
As far as looks go they look great

Thanks for the info mate
I'm told they are loud but opinions vary as to how loud exactly. Panniers will fit.
Just been told they won't ship for 2 weeks
Looks like I have time to change my mind.
Maybe the Akro headers and single Ti can would be better as it has a removable baffle

The headers are the next thing on my shopping list , i didnt know that akro did them i thought only remus did
but i havent really looked into them that much yet .With the akro can with std headers there is a difference in sound with the baffle in The headers change make the most difference due to it removing the cat
I got my akro can from dealer (500quid) was cheaper than nippy norms(550quid) only differance is the writing on the side (i personally prefer the dealer can )
How much have you been quoted fot headers ?
This is the only sound clip I can find of the full twin Akro system.

Anyone know of any others?
