Having taken delivery of a new F850GS Adventure 40th Year Edition , my first job was to fit an Akrapovic and get rid of the bulky exhaust resonator
Having done a bit digging on the various forums it looked like the two options were a Remus link pipe at £175 or a Dominator one at £120
A number of people had reported that the Remus was not a good fit with the Akrapovic and I didn't particularly like the U bend shape of the pipework
The Dominator looked a bit better but I was still not 100% happy with it
I then stumbled on a link pipe from an eBay seller in China and the link pipe looked very good and was only £46
I took a chance and ordered one , two weeks later it turned up and was marked with a value under £10 so not tax or VAT to pay
What a result , the pipe is absolutely fantastic quality and a perfect fit , it could have easily been made in the same factory as the OEM ones its so good
Here are some pictures below
I have also removed the pillion foot rests and added an extra heat shield to the Akrapovic link pipe
Without the foot rest hanger in place the pipe was open to being contacted
Here ia a link to the eBay seller if anyone else is after one :
