Very keen to start personalizing my new ride and I`m waiting patiently to see who does what and the benefits thereof.
Catchy seems to have done a great job with a Wings slip on :thumleft:
Im quite keen on the SW Motech guards for protection although not keen on adding weight!
Definitely going to swop the foot pegs to wider units as well!
Im busy looking at the various after market pipes available...who in SA does Leo Vince? They are always decent quality and reasonably priced?
Mine is still stock standard except for the Pirrelli Rally knobblies which it left the showroom in Bloem with

Edgy, here is also a good farkle, lower engine crash bars.

That looks good, who makes it?

The nice Honda looks more like a BMW with every farkle. :pot:

Please explain, Edgy?

R2950 for the crash bars and R3600 for the bash plate

one amount for the bashplate the other for the bars - not sure which is which though - tried also to find different options for the At in this thread - http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=190706.0 (http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=190706.0)

Edgy - whats your opinion on the plastic panels - I see you are looking at crash protection , do you think they would survive a low speed fall down or two ?

I went with the Remus, had a very pleasant dealing with Liza from Riverside Honda in Vereeniging and pipe was reasonably priced(IMO) at about R7100-00 ex vat! :thumleft:

The only things that would add to the AT will be a bash plate, crash bars and foot pegs. Maybe a can. The first thing would be to chance the crazy foot pegs. What they we thinking in adding those I don't know.
With the AT I can at least get both feet planted on the ground. :thumleft:

BoosterPlug will soon be available for the new Africa Twin. Just waiting for stock to arrive.

What is the purpose of a "booster plug" I'm limited in knowledge of things technical. :lamer:
-
What is the purpose of a "booster plug" I'm limited in knowledge of things technical. :lamer:
New Euro 4 regulations for motorcycles dictate that engines have to run as lean as possible - at 14,7:1 air to fuel ratio (AFR) vs 13,6:1 which is the optimal stoic ratio for an engine. Most modern bikes suffer due to the consequences of lean mixtures: snatchy throttle, reduced low rpm usability, surging, pinging, motors running warmer, lethargic at lower rpm. From the new XDiavel to Yamaha's MT-7 or MT-9, BMW riders were first to realize that lean running affects engines and performance. A BoosterPlug is a plug and play device that modifies the AIT sensor to improve the AFR to optimal levels - just when you need it: acceleration, deceleration and a stronger idle and start. The beauty of the BoosterPlug is that, while it improves low rpm performance, it leaves the engine to be fuel efficient.
-
Catchy, can you take a few close up photo's of the crash bars and bash plate and post it please?
Thanks :thumleft:

Ok, some pics.

4 Stainless wide footpegs
Note. Looking at the picture the white Africa Queens might not fit on the DCT as it is quite a bit wider (even to the front where the waterpump is located.

Just received stock of BoosterPlugs for the new AT. It will be interesting to see what it does for the AT. NS. Fitting an aftermarket exhaust calls for a BoosterPlug to counter the leaner mixtures.

Please give more info re cost etc and of course how it works!! I must say the AT is the 1st of many bikes that ive owned where an aftermarket pipe did absolutely nothing performance wise!

Finally....
after MONTHS of waiting....
BarkBusters for the Africa Twin are in stock...
we also recommend looking at the BarkBuster inserts - either indicators or Hi-Viz light strips, that are retro-fittable to ALL BarkBusters..., they make quite an impact!
whew!

I went with the Remus, had a very pleasant dealing with Liza from Riverside Honda in Vereeniging and pipe was reasonably priced(IMO) at about R7100-00 ex vat! :thumleft:
How did Remus affect torque. I rode demo at with arrow header and silencer and had less torque than my std pipe. Couldn't wheelie in 2nd like std pipe.

..... tell me more about that fuel tank!!
well, they are making Africa Twin CAMEL tanks in two different 'ways'....
the fist way is by utilizing the new, but existing 1050/1190/120 KTM CAMEL tank, and just modifying the BRACKET(s) to fit the Africa Twin exactly...
Long term - 6 - 12 months - they will likely design a SPECIFIC tank, but in all reality, it will be very close to the 1050/1190/1290 tank...
they are EXTREMELY durable - you may want to watch this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JAISp4bbyo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JAISp4bbyo)
we are expecting volume to be around 6L, definitely not less...
they plug & play, no pumps, etc, usually no drilling, etc.
More questions, just ask!

new Africa Twin windscreen options now available at Flying Brick...
1. CRF 1000 L AFRICA TWIN - Sport-Screen "SP" 2016-
The MRA sports screen is a real eye-catcher with its zippy 38 cm height, the
focus clearly laid on aesthetics. Shapely, racy and dynamic, the screen
blends in perfectly with the overall visual appeal of the Africa Twin.
2. CRF 1000 L AFRICA TWIN - Touring windshield "T" 2016-
The MRA touring screen is 8 cm longer and 7.8 cm wider than the original
screen (total length: 53 cm). However, the secret lies in the shape of the
screen – unlike the original and most other accessory screens, the middle
of the MRA touring screen curves in towards the driver to avoid buffeting
and turbulence at the edge of the screen, ensuring an even and smooth
airflow almost without any noise or vibration around the helmet. The MRA
screen’s greater width is more effective at shielding the arms and
shoulders, while the large air vent in the lower central part of the screen
ensures effective ventilation
3. CRF 1000 L AFRICA TWIN - Variotouringscreen "VT" 2016-
The MRA Vario touring screen consists of a touring screen as its main
screen with all of its benefits, plus a Vario touring screen spoiler at the
upper end that adjusts in seven steps. This allows the airflow between the
screen and VT spoiler to fan out to a greater or lesser degree, further
reducing wind pressure without causing turbulence – the best conditions
for a relaxed ride, even on long tours.
Enquiries? drop us an e-mail...
And we now have an Africa Twin in-store, a Demo model, which will next week be fitted with one of the 3 screens, as well as crash bars, bash plate, rear pannier rack, orange head light protector, etc...
Cheers!

Ordered in a stainless, black-coated REMUS slip -on silencer for a customer - he fitted it himself, and we REALLY think it is the coolest looking thing since sliced bread!
Around R7.5K

Yogibear, have a look at the Rumbux crashbars.
You will not be dissapointed.
Flying Brick sells them.
-
Those are Honda OEM bars.
Rockfox also manufacture engine protection for those bars. R 1500.00 incl RRP (see pic)
Mike also do Tops, and bottoms , bashplate and luggage racks and wider footpegs.
All directly available from Rockfox.co.za or one of the many dealers.
Adie

The only one on the Rockfox website is much bigger:
(http://rockfox.co.za/.cm4all/iproc.php/Honda%20Upper%20crashbars/Upper%20Crashbars%202%20%28Mobile%29.PNG/downsize_1280_0/Upper%20Crashbars%202%20%28Mobile%29.PNG)
The one Adie posted looks better to me, and more like the Honda OEM. The Honda one sells for R6300...
Losper the Rumbux looks impressive but I want something simpler that does not destroy the nice lines of the bike. Might regret it when I drop the bike, but lets hope thats not soon.
Going to email Rockfox for some clarity.
-
added Pivot-style foot-pegs, R995 per set, they have 15-degrees of rear float and 15-degrees of front float, and a MUCH better platform size....
1 problem with the Africa Twin foot-pegs is not JUST that they are incredibly small, but they are super-close 'in' to the body-work of the bike, meaning a cramped cockpit.
Pictures show the 15-degree 'float' both front and rear...
Cheers
Chris & Team
-
A bigger issue with the AT is that it looks as if the footpeg pivot point are wider than other bikes. Any aftermarket pegs will actually hit the shin and calf much more when maneuvering the bike whilst sitting on.
We also noticed that some pegs actually decrease the gap between the peg front and the gear/brake levers due to the width increase. (We had the same issue with our first design :-(

In the end I bought the Honda OEM crash bars as I liked the look the most. The Rumbux seemed the most comprehensive protection and the Rockfox really good value for money and inexpensive. The Honda I thought initially was way overpriced but when I downloaded the installation instructions it seemed more justified with 2 cross supports attached to the frame.
All the install manuals are here http://cssportal.css-club.net/honda/MCA/Start.asp?GROUP=oth (http://cssportal.css-club.net/honda/MCA/Start.asp?GROUP=oth)

The Honda ones are incredibly light. When mine arrived I thought there were none in the box that arrived the box was so light. The Rumbux are Heavy at least an extra 5KGs.

Hi
I am running Pirrelli Scorpion Rally. So far 4000kms nearly 50/50 tar dirt. Not much rear tyre left.

Seems currently there is only 2 crash bars to really consider. whats your opinion on the following.
Rumbux vs Rockfox:
tube size & thickness;
overall weight;
sturdiness - i.e most effective when bike is dropped;
quality of brackets;
quality of paint;
effectiveness of bash plate;
which looks better;

new at the Flying Brick Store, an anodized Handlebar plate, to fit he Africa Twins, which allows EASY fitment without cutting, of a Cigarette-socket or a Dual USB socket, as well as a RAM-mount ball, for GPS, etc, as well as pre-drilled holes for a SPOT location device.
A nice feature is that it is designed with a 'pass-thru' design for holding the cig-socket or USB socket in place, meaning to install it, you do not need to disassemble it, but simply 'pass' the cable through!
R795 at the Flying Brick Store.
And we will be carrying the plate in Blue, and Black, as well.
Kit comes with 4 spacers and 4 x M8 stainless steel bolts.

When I had the 1000k service I asked Honda CPT to fit a centre stand. When I collected there was one spring fitted and queried with the technician who said it came with two but he felt one was sufficient ;)
I took the 2nd one and fitted it at home as per the instruction manual. Confidence in Honda CPT workshop... not so much

Any news of the pricing on the Roxfox luguage plate- or possible good alternatives?
Does the Roxfox pannier bags fit on without having to make any changes to the bike eg cutting away your plactics etc?
-
Hi Louis L
Luggage Plate is R700 inc.
And yes our pannier racks fix to the bike without having to cut into the plastics, we use a clamping system making use of the slots on the bikes rear frame.

Hi Louis L
Luggage Plate is R700 inc.
And yes our pannier racks fix to the bike without having to cut into the plastics, we use a clamping system making use of the slots on the bikes rear frame.

Thanks for all the feedback about the lugguage plate :)
I heard the base model of the Twin comes without a bashplate? I have a new bashplate since the crashbars I fitted comes with its own bashplate. Anyone out there which needs a bashplate and is willing to swop me for a lugguage plate :peepwall:

Hi All
Anybody in Cape Town with a new Africa Twin that is looking for heavier springs. Im chatting to a vendor down there that imports springs and he needs to take a look at the Standard Springs, measure them, and will then be able to bring in the correct heavier rate for us bigger riders.
Please let me know if anyone can assist?
Cheers

I have put mine through proper terrain, jumps, rocks and more. I am 80kg and the spring rates are fine. But if you are more than 95kg I would suggest looking at other springs.

How exactly does the clamping system work. Do you put plastic/ rubber in the "slot" ? If not won't it rattle and make a mess?

OMG
took my sons CBR125 into Honda today for a service
They are busy building a Repsol Africa Twin with every bell and whistle on it that you can imagine, from heated grips to panniers.. Repsol sticker kit on a silver bike
I nearly had a heart attack.. its going to be a demo bike at Canal walk. Go check it out.
-
This is the base model bike with out T/C. ABS etc. Looks good though.
-
yeah, im not sure why they chose the base model.. If I had ti get one I think abs is quite important especially with that std tyre they put on
-
What you all think?
-
Clever Looks really neat. As does the whole bike.
-
What you all think?
Great!!
-
I like, a lot.
One suggestion, if I may?
I prefer the fuel - where feasible - lower down, for a lower COG a-n-d the spout/filler cap of the RotoPax VERTICAL, for ease of filling/less leaking (Rotopax dont leak, though), etc.
Something more like this, though it needs a frame, but you can still put two on one side (water + fuel).
(either INSIDE a pannier rack, but then it must clear the swing arm arc, or OUTSIDE of the pannier rack, which only adds 8.5cm to the width of soft pannier bags, etc.
Basically, silencers often weigh 6/7/8kg, so 'balancing this weight with say 5L fuel on the other (non-exhaust) side works well...
Just my 5C!

yes, we sell those - that is a rack SYSTEM, meaning a rack and bag combo, so the rack is not sold seperately.
It is a SW Motech rack (and SW Motech 'Dakar' bag (Bags Connection is a SW Motech product).

After having hard boxes on my previous bikes I just could not deal with the job of fitting and removing the ATG bag's
that I bought for my Twin, especially when on longer trips. So after much delibiration I bit the bullet and bought a set of Mosko Moto panniers.
Must say they are very well made and thought out.

BMC filters - money well spent!!
pricey though, R2200 (luckily for both).
Consumption has improved quite a bit and waaay more responsive from 100kmph and when cruising.
Agents don't change filters on 12000 and wait for 24000 but they look very tired around 15000.

Ok totale finale invoice was R2400. Sluit nie bmc filters in nie maar wel ekstra werk om die panels weer af te haal en dir filters te ruil. En ek het die oorspronklike quote verkeerd gehad, was R1600 ex vat. Het al die olie, break fluid, olie filter ens ingesluit.

18.8 liters, 25km/lt. If you keep below 110kmh she will give you 300km before reserve. Then about 45 - 50 thereafter, but this is only with an easy right hand. If you are going to Nam, get the 7lt (6lt in reality) collapsible tank bag from ChrisL here on the forum.

Has anyone come up with a good solution for storing your tools, pump, spare tube etc? I see plenty of space inside my left pannier rack to mount something but I feel the tool tubes are too small for everything. Any thoughts to a custom made box that is lockable and permanently mounted ? On my Transalp all the above fitted neatly under the seat! Went for a day ride on Saturday and suddenly realized that I don't have the basics with me anymore. On a long trip, I put them all in the panniers, but it takes up packing space.

Yes, we have a (the?!) solution!
A bag that attaches FIRMLY, to the INSIDE surface of the pannier rack, with a strengthened floor for taking .....tools!
Water-proof zip, rip-stop, lockable, R795 incl.
Designed around ROCKFOX pannier racks, could well fit some others...
Will TRY and find some pics of it mounted up....

I had a metal tool tube (similar to pic) fitted to my 800GS, years ago.
I have not mounted it to my AT (yet).
Centre of gravity is low and it "locked" with a torx screw, was water tight as well.

Hi All
Does anyone know the rims on AT is it soft like Ktm 1190R did anyone get a smiley before?
Then the std bash plate is it any good?
Thanks
-
The Std. DID rims are great, mine have taken a few hard hits already and no sign of damage!
As for the bash plate, if you plan on doing more technical riding I would suggest you fit something stronger. I fitted the Rumbux crash bars which have an integrated
bash plate and it has saved the oil filter/sump a few times already. You need to keep in mind that its a heavy bike and the weight transfer when hitting a rock/stump is immense! :ricky:

Giant Loop are nice and are way cheaper, but the mounting system of the Mosko Moto bags is way easier and secure. They can be fitted and removed in seconds, even easier than hard panniers.
Below pics shows you the unique mounting "wedge" plate that makes this system work so well!

A group of German guys went RTW (or are still on the last leg) - 2 AT's broke that mid screen cross beam due to GPS's (NUVI 550's I think) being mounted on it.
The SW is a far better design as it's mounted on the handlebar and I have not read of problems with that.

I also heard about someone in SA with same problem thats why I ask. But when you ride its nice when its up there dont need to take eyes of the road so far. Wonder if a person can strengthen that bar or hole part.

R300, basically bolts and spacers to allow the fitting of a more-aggressive knobbly-type tyre, since there is not much clearance for say mud with the original front mudguard/fender in place.
Video attached, of a USA based product, but similar/same execution of idea...., thanks

Rockfox (manufacturing) did something affordable for their test/exhibition 'Rally' bike, and used a Honda front mudguard (off a MX-style bike), and fabricated clamps that used the lower triple clamp, they may post a pic of how they did it, they have not commercialized it/fabricated any quantity, but it could be something to look at...

Hi Striggs,
Like Chris said, on our Rally build we put on a high fender, but this was just a once off,
i do still have the templates for the kit and maybe, just maybe i think i might still have one set of the brackets, but i will need to go and have a look for them. We moved around during shut down and everything is crazy currently. We used the front mudguard of a 2016 CRF450 bike. But it was a hassle and I was never happy with our initial design. Sorry no photos of the brackets themselves.
-
Maybe this hsa been posted somewhere but I don't get anything on "search".
Which GPS brackets are available and where and how do you fit them on the AT? Also what GPS do you use with a specific bracket?

The cross beam on the screen is a popular spot but they are known to crack at the weld on the bottom due to the vibrations. I use a RAM ball mount with a long bolt through the handlebar clamps. Works well with Garmin Oregon 450 or newer cradles.
-
Would really appreciate it if you could put a pic on here :thumleft:
-
here is an anodized aluminium handlebar mount that enables/allows fitting of a 12v cigarette socket or else a dual USB socket....
then IN ADDITION< it allows for the mounting of say a GPS using a RAM ball (see the hole where a RAM mount would fit), as well as an SOS type device - in this case the SPOT product we sell, but another device could be in its place...
I know that the preferred location for a GPS unit is in a more 'heads-up' position, however just putting it out there that this 4-in-1 product solves quite a lot of placement issues, easily/elegantly!

I had the suspension changed by BlingKing with Wilbers, front and back.
Took the bike on dirt for the first time on Wednesday and must say the bike is giving me a lot of confidence, route included some wet dirt sections, rocky sections as well as sandy sections, and I rode all of these at a much higher speed, due to lots of confidence, than I would have done with the GS.
The bike feels just so stable over all road surfaces!
With the upgraded suspension, the nose dive under breaking is reduced a lot, and the bike feels much less saggy at the rear.
Overall really impressed with the AT!

I make a high fender replacement kit locally in Cape Town. Modified my AT within the first week. Photo of the prototype with production unis coming in a bit later this month.

I will watch and wait with anticipation. :thumleft:
very very interested
-
I am also very keen! :thumleft:

Made the BIG mistake this morning of stopping at GPS4Africa!
Now they are installing the following:
- Garmin Zumo 595
- Barkbusters
- Hella Plug
And I still have to collect the bike! I am sure I am going to see another couple of things which I cannot live without :imaposer:
-
Make sure to install radiator guards!

Thanks Koet, those were already done

Damn!

Anyone who fitted spots..How are they wired?
Direct to the battery with a relay operated via a switch (on Handelbars) and aux feed from one of the Aux plugs (Front or rear)?

Hey guys. Anybody done a tubeless conversion on the AT yet? I'm seriously looking into this. Anybody know of a Gauteng-based person/company that could help?

I fitted spots using a relay and the aux plug that sits behind the front light. Also put a switch in the accessory socket on the left in front of the handlebars

Met an old bullet in Magalies who was very happy with the tubeless conversion he had done with an outfit south of Joburg.
Can't remember the name off the top of my head... Will look it up
...
Cytech in Robertsham

Cytech in the south of JHB do tubeless conversions.
-
Thanks guys. I've also looked into getting the kits from eBay and getting a local guy (BikerMan in Honeydew) do the conversion. If I go this route I'll think of bringing in a couple of extra kits. Would some of you be interested?

Do you get Tail tidys for these babies?

I fitted spots using a relay and the aux plug that sits behind the front light. Also put a switch in the accessory socket on the left in front of the handlebars
So you powered the spots from the aux socket, or you used power from the aux socket via a switch to operate the relay which was fed directly from the battery?

go to the facebook page of Africa-ADV
Kobus ( @Leftless ) did a tidy that he posted there on 10 August, pics and all.
he also has a few other nice stuff on there... (luggage plates, raised front fender.)

I made mine growl. What a sound! Very happy with the workmanship of the new pipe as well.
-
Mind sharing the cost of that Leo?
-
I was quite lucky.. found one second hand, still almost new for just over R2k
-
The arrow exhaust also gives it a mean growl. I had to put the baffle back in it was a bit loud for me when cruising.

Also leaving the insert/baffle in. Dont want it too loud. Think it sounds better with it in anyway

Placed my order for the Alpina rims, cannot wait to get them.
I think my AT will be complete then!
Must say the Wilburs suspension upgrade by @BlingKing was so far the best money I have spent on the bike!

How many randellas?
-
I was going to ask the same on the suspension
Riding my gf's twin while mine is in for repairs, maybe I am just not used to it but hitting the brakes hard drops the handlebars really fast and low and also forced my testes into the tank
Did the upgraded suspension change that ?

The Wilburs suspension upgrade, front and back, was in the region of R 13K. I think the compression of the forks under braking is much less with the upgraded suspension, with the bike overall just feeling much more stable and composed under all road conditions.

I feel he is looking for how many Randella's on the RIMS - see his bolded text above....
(by way of comparison, yesterday we imported the 1st set of BMW 310 GS tubeless rims to South Africa (released in the last couple of weeks), and they retailed for R25.5K incl vat. - JUST by way of comparison, from Rally Raid in the UK...

Pretty much as for the smaller BMW 310 GS, so around R25.5K incl, for complete front and rear wheels (no disks), no MORE than this, unless the exchange rate does an even further wobbly, possibly a bit less, actually, but being cautious, so R25.5K, or thereabouts.
50% deposit to order, then we do the rest. 2 - 3 weeks delivery.

Ordered the Alpina rims for about R 35K Chris. Their agents in South Africa is SGS Motosport, who, so far, gave excellent service. The delivery lead time is 30-60 days, which is a concern to me as I would have liked to have the tubeless rims before my long trip, I will not have time to change tubes!

Yeah, I deal with SGS, they are suppliers of ours, and we have ordered the odd set of rims (rims only, not complete wheels) from them, otherwise we MOSTLY use EXCEL rims, but we do get a fair amount of tyres from SGS.

Sorry, I ordered complete wheels from them, red anodised hubs, Golden anodized rims, stainless steel spokes and anodized red nipples.
-
just for clarity, our price is for complete wheels, too, just not red anodized hubs, though, they DO sound sweet!
Colour options for the Rallye Raid wheels are BLACK or GOLD.

Hallo Chris, will take a couple of pictures this weekend and post it. Here is a couple which I have:
Picture 1 - Bike in the Baviaans kloof during December 2019
Picture 2 - Rims before they were fitted
-
Moerse klou vermoë wat daai rims het, onderstebo ook?!! :lol8: ;)
Ek hou baie van die goud en blou kombo!! :drif: :drif:

And some feedback on your tyres too please Jan (those are Motoz right?)
-
BJan how does those rims seal in the inside making them tubeliss with the spokes in the middle of the rim?
-
And some feedback on your tyres too please Jan (those are Motoz right?)
Rob, you are right, they are Motoz GPS's. I am very impressed with them, they are very quiet on tar, and they do well on dirt and tar. I had no problems going through Baviaans on them, on the contrary, they instilled a lot of confidence, even in sandy conditions.
-
BJan how does those rims seal in the inside making them tubeliss with the spokes in the middle of the rim?
They use a double seal where the spokes go into the rim with o-rings.

Today fitted Hepco & Becker lower engine protection bars to my ATAS :biggrin:
Also fitted the read breakfluid protection cover from RuggedRoads :biggrin:
Also fitted the AirDam protection from Ruggedroads for removing the airflow(updraft) from the forks - Now stability on my peak of the adventure helmet at last ;D ;D

My gf always complains that her eyes vibrate causing visibility issues, I suspect she is getting a lot of air turbulence

My handlebar bag seems to have the same effect with blocking some of the wind coming up between the fairing and the forks

Hi Mikie
The Air Dam looks like the picture attached. Is screws on top of the tank and the idea is to block out the wind that is forced up through the fork channel. I have tested it this weekend and the bike is like something else. It is absolutely quit, no wind to mess with your helmet :biggrin:
-
Just bought a Remus Titanium slip on exhaust, looking forward to the new sound! >:D

Hi BikerJan

On mine, after the decat and LV One slip on I did notice an increased willingness to rev in the higher ranges. Bike pulled a lot smoother and with less effort
For some reason, the slight snatchy throttle at open/closed movements was also gone

Thanks for that Mpandla. I am considering a new pipe but am unsure if I should go the whole hog and decat as well. I suppose if you do not decat, you can always do that at a later stage. How did it affect fuel consumption?

They cut mine in such a way that if you really wanted, you can weld the cat back in again. Bike just ran better without it
Made no difference to fuel consumption at all. It just ran better, felt more lively, breathed better etc
Only thing I would say, if you dont plan on getting a remap or RapidBike type of thing.. leave the insert/baffle in the slip on. I found that if you take that out as well, it started to bog down. It needs a bit of back pressure
-
I have removed the insert from the Remus, but the CAT is still in, do not know whether it is my imagination but it feels as if the bike pull stronger as well.

I agree I found it loses a bit of Torque. I actually tested it out with a standard bike letting the clutch out in 1 st gear without using accelerator on a slight incline. My bike with an arrow exhaust insert removed stalled while the other AT didnt. Put insert back and they were the same. Man but it sounds great with the insert out.

Now install a RapidBike or power commander on it and see how it flies

Hi Captain Zef
On my AT I had someone open up the standard exhaust and rebuild the inners. They also opened up the outlet section so it breathes better. If you look ay the pipe from the back , the two tubes are now bigger then the original ones. Sounds great, but not too loud. Also goes much better. When looking at the exhaust you cannot see where they opened the exhaust. They cut it on the existing weld and re-joined on that weld.

Who in Gauteng did this for you and the cost?? I assume they removed the CAT as well?

The guy who did this for me is actually located in the Nelspruit area. My brother who lives there (and does bike repairs and rebuilds from his small holding) arranged it for me. I can put you in contact with him to avoid me being the middle man and adding to the postage. I just took off the exhaust and sent it by postnet and he sent it back. I decatted my exhaust, but that was done by someone else here in Gauteng.
The photo I attached shows how the exit pipes have been enlarged, allowing a better flow of gas.

Funny enough i never planned to go all black. I actually wanted a white one. But the black looks pretty good i agree.

Ek is mal oor die swart met die goue rims. Baie mooi skoeter. Hy het n paar lekker extras op.

They do look nice on those Rockfox pannier frames. I have the older version without the plate across the middle. Why did you choose the Monsoons over Rockfox's own pannier bags?

we retro-fit the two side plates, to older Rockfox racks, for a small fee - I think it is R350 for both side plates, and then the entire racks are re-powdercoated; done many sets, shout if you wish to know timelines; makes carrying of fuel and/or water super easy/safe, amongs other advantages...
Cheers

Because a friend sold them to me and i think they look pretty cool.
