Lol, fair enough Eugene

I can't access the for sale section as I've not subscribed(yet). Out of interest how much are you selling them for?

I emailed CCC re their y piece only, no point really then.

Ever seen an angry pixie? - not a pretty sight

Buying and selling in FS&W please - denny - a sub is a very good idea...

Pushy lot

I'm a lazy git, probably would have taken me a month or so to subscribe so thanks for the nudge

Told ya.

No. The stubby is really no louder than a standard exhaust, but has a slightly deeper tone. The only advantage of the stubby is the weight saving and the ability to have a full size pannier on the nearside.

Full size as in the larger system pannier? I've looking to replace my system panniers but I couldn't find racks that are 'closer' to the bike enabling full size pannier fit.

Full size system on both side...plus larger lids..

That looks the business CC

I really do love the look of the OEM BMW Plastic System Panniers, they do suit BMWs

CC, where did you buy the larger lids? I am guessing it was from a BuMW dealer because I can't find any for sale online.

Yes, from a dealer, come as a kit ( I think they were called Global Lids), just need to drill out the rivets on the lid side of the hinges and replace with the nuts and bolts included...easy...

'Wide Load' stickers optional...

Thanks Coolcarbon.


Is that a y piece lying over there, any plans to sell?

It was, and I did...sell it, years ago..

Doh

Oh well nevermind

Didn't want to start a new thread, hope you don't mind?

I just fitted my Remus Y Piece + Akrap can, which sounds great but I think I've screwed up a little. I took the Akrap off to see what the y piece alone would sound with a stubby on (not that I have one) & the result was scary...a nasty rasping snarl.

My plan was to butcher the TT racks off my XT660 to fit symetric on the GS, slap on the 40lt Ard Cases I have and use a stubby wıth the y piece.

So, can someone please tell me if a stubby will make any difference to the noise eminating from the y piece? I'm guessing a big fat no! I want to keep the y piece but will have to remove it if it doesn't work with a stubby.

Stubby will only work with the Cat still on...

This Thread shows what I did to free up the cat a wee bit...

Thanks Coolcarbon, really useful that

Time to put the Y Piece up for sale and source an old cat me thinks!
