Motad downpipes?

[FastFred]

Are these ok? Lot cheaper than Remus/Keihans. Can't see how they can do anything different. Are there any legal issues with fitting these or can they affect the bmw warranty?

Thanks. Worth fitting to an 09 GS12?

So much for E- Bay being cheaper than dealers.... Would have been nice to see some close ups of the pipes..

It's amazing how many people pay OTT prices on ebay - pays to Google an item too

There are some larger photos on the Motad website

I have these. There is no balance pipe between the two headers and the quality is not the best but they do the job. The welding around the O2 sensor holes is a bit rough. There is no hangar bracket but this is not needed as the pipes are much lighter than OEM.

I also think the Y piece (where the two come into one) is VERY close to the side stand mounting - but there is still some clearance.

All in all probably worth what you pay.

I have been thinking about investing in a bit of bling lately. If you remove the CAT are you going to be ok come MOT time? My guess is probably no. Don't they use sensitive emission level test on the exhaust gases?

They do not check emissions on bikes yet so you will be okay.

Had my first MOT last week, (07 1200 GSA) Kiehan headers, Akropovic can, passed, no worries
09 12GS would be no different, I would guess
