+1. That man deserves an Occam award.

I have the same set up but suggest adding sheet of plastic or thin metal behind the two blocks as was finding after a couple of years that the pannier support was wearing through the pannier

Simple.

Keep it simple, removce end can , fit stubbie and bolt a couple of those plastic blocks that you use for flatpack furniture to the larger pannier. I have been using this set up on my R1150R for a few years now, never had a problem.

Bloody marvellous, just what I was looking for!

Nice to get a bit of recognition for an idea. Seem to remember I killed the thread at the time but, hey, I'm not bitter

You really haven't given your idea much thought, have you..

You''ll still need a bracket to support the pannier.

So weigh up the cost of a stubby pipe, £20. Against the cost of an exhaust from an RT/RS, approx £250 for a used item, if you can find one.

And then you'll get to the major flaw in your suggestion - the balance box/silencer on an RT/RS only has one connection pipe as the RT/RS models have a two into one downpipe.
And don't think about just fitting RT/RS down pipes as they have three bolts at each cylinder head, the GS has two.
So you'll need to change the cylinder heads as well.

Is the same true for the R1100GS if trying an RT/RS exhaust?
