Well I have reached 2000 miles and have taken to day to day riding without the panniers and just use the top box, panniers go on if Caroline is with me weekend breaks etc....., now its not in dispute that the GT is a handsome machine, however with the panniers off it looks unbalanced, the  can looks like its just been lifted off a Truck, with this in mind I am considering replacing the standard can with a carbon fibre one from Beowulf, has anybody on here done the same and what impact does it have on the warranty, Beowulf claim that it does not affect fuelling at all, any advice would be appreciated.

I have the Remus Hexacone and it hasn't impacted the fuel consumption or warranty.

I have the Beowulf fitted - Excellent value, looks good, sounds phenomenol, no remap required - Good choice IMO (First time in 30 years I have replaced a standard exhaust)

both exhausts look excellent. still not sure about changing the exhaust, did want to keep the gtr1400 standard. do they do the beowulf warrior in black with the carbon end! like the trioval style! got 2 beowulf twin port trioval cans on my zzr1400 in stainless!
that beowulf can is the standard lenght, courious to see what the stumpty 380mm would look like!

I wanted the 'Warrior' but it wasn't available with the carbon end.

I did pay extra for the carbon end though (and I am not a carbon fibre fan tbh) but it does look sexy!

Why not keep the original can but do the cut down mod? There's a step by step guide on here.

I've taken the baffle out of the Remus. Must remember to put in back in for the MOT

can"t help thinking. that the gtr1400 should stay standard, dont ask me why! maybe the zzr1400 is a bit of a hooligan bike, so louder exhausts are excepted. but the gtr1400 is more of a sophisticated machine. or am just getting to old for all this bollocks!

Why not try a Freeflow systems stubby,very neat, no re map, great sound with or without baffle, good quality (made by Beowulf from all accounts) and the best bit -- it's just over a hundred quid on e bay! I did with no regrets at all.
