If anyone is interested spotted these, Very well priced if you need replacements.

Looks good value.
Replaced mine over winter with Arrow SS items, all very well made. The bike sounds much, much better now, especially the blips on downchanges with the quickshifter.
However, it is a bit noisy after start with fast idle. I’m not desperate to spend 1700-odd on the Akra collectors with the pre-muffler thing, so would like to find out if one of the bigger silencers (mine is still on the original silencer) such as the Akra or Remus would take off a dB or two…

Do you think it would be to loud for a euro trip?

Decent price for sure, although I'd need to hear these as most of the premium headers on the market run with a soundbox - Akrapovic/Zard for example.

Didn’t even know about those guys. I just bought Unit Garage headers for my R9T for over £600 too
All the post 23 bikes have 3 O2 sensors and a little trickier to source. Refuelling is imperative as well.
I’m trying the Rapid Bike plug & play module.

Sorry, just seen this, Bomber.
I think the Arrow headers would be good on a longer trip, on the move they sound great.
My only gripe was the racket on fast idle, starting from cold; I don’t want to make enemies of my neighbours when I’m working early!

okay . I'm off to Spain (picos) next Sunday but when I'm back might be interested in changing my headers

Picos, great plan, most envious!
Give me a shout afterwards if you’d like the Arrow headers, worked out I’ve done around 200 miles with them.
They’re nicely made, but being anal spent a few hours filing off a few of the rougher inner welds…
