    Looks good, I have heard that the Motone X pipe is the best off the bunch due to its construction

    Don, I'm no dispersion expert but i would hazard a guess that the efflux velocity at termination is greater than the standard set up with the x-pipe fitted, therefore creating an.improvement in the scavenging of the cylinder in the exhaust stroke :neutral:

    Aye they reckon that the exhaust gasses have a clean flow without obstruction through the pipe.

    John,
    the majority of my home tool kit is Stahlwille, other than a smattering of Snap On T handle Torx & Allen keys and some Gedore . At work it is 100% Stahlwille in my humble opinion the best tools available without going daft with your money

    Is that why most of your home tool kit is Stahlwille? :p

    Lessaint you won't be dissapointed. I fitted mine* last year and had it winter stored, but tookit it out for some essential riding yesterday and.... forgot about the beautifiul rumble the x pipe gives the bike, especially if you short shift.
    *Full disclosure, i got my mate/mechanic to do it.

    Enjoy and hopefully you will let us know what you think.

    I have removed the CAT, and fitted the X Pipe, simple job but i would advise anyone thinking of doing the conversion to watch several of the video on youtube, very informative, don't be afraid to attempt work like this, i would advise the taking of photos prior to carrying out any works that can used for reference on the rebuild, and if you are removing bolts studs or fixing holding components to the frame put them in order on a piece of guard, or if you can loose fit them back into the frame finger tight.

    Do I detect a bit of popping on the overrun? Mine was very noticeable straight after fitment (Motone, same as yours). Initially I was a little concerned but after discussing with others who know more than me, I now know it does no harm. That was 2 years ago. Love the sound now.

    Beerkat, i have had her out this morning,(Essential supplies run only), covered about 60 miles, i tried all 3 modes she feels slightly more responsive on the uptake and throttle response and the popping and crackling sounds amazing since the installation of the X-Pipe, also the new Ohlin's suspension settings are bob on for the type of bike she is, a bit softer than a superbike set up but she still tucks into the corners and holds the line (The roads are perfect today). all in all I am well chuffed

    Glad you like it. The X-pipe has made a noticeable difference, as you say, the engine response is sharper and there seems to be an improvement in acceleration. No idea if there are any more bhp’s but it’s definitely a worthwhile mod.

    The bike looks beautiful, it is my intention to change my pipes soon, bit worried about any re mapping ecu, that terrifies me. Must say I do really like your bike lift, I would love to have one of those, must make life so much easier than laying on the floor.

    Malc, i know the Speed Twins ECU is intelligent, and will retune itself, i would look further into that including the 12minute tune, that is if yours is a speed twin

    I understand all ECU are self adjusting after 2018, so you can swap without remap :cool:
