LC test ride

[Paul S]

Well fitted the Akra and personally I like the look




Did a 50 mile run and sounds good even with the baffles in.

When got back got my Dremil out and removed the baffles

Thing is they are not really baffles as such but inserts to reduce the diameter of the outlets - sounds a bit more throaty without them but still not too loud

The sticker ruins the look, IMO

Yellow stickers on a GS are wrong.

value

Beowulf for me ~ low cost, suits look of bike, great sound with baffle in, outrageous with baffle out.

Anyone know if you can get a decat and still fit original silencer?

 

[bikewise]

Yes Beowulf is availabe for GS LC. I could post photos no problem from mobile before site upgrade, now I do not see how to. Any advice out there. Incoming take cover!

Eek! What did you Dremel? The baffles are held in by a hex headed screw with a tiny spot weld. You just break the weld by unscrewing it.

If you have dremelled the screw head off how will you replace it?

Tinkering owners syndrome

If that's the case, he'll have to drill the thread out now

If the akro and remus cans fit the stock headers and the same cans fit the akro-remus headers. Than yes your stock can will fit either akro-remus decat headers, you lose the exhaust valve tho.

Just used the Dremel to weaken the spot weld before undoing the screws - danger if you do not is that you round off the hex headed screw before the spot weld breaks

Ah... Makes sense then.
