Hi

Cruising round and at legal-ish motorway speeds its fairly quiet so not too much of a problem on long journeys

I think the only difference between 2010 models and the earlier bikes is the heat shield. I made Scorpion aware of that when they made the pattern so I would buy direct and speak to them, they will just make the link pipe without the brackets for the shield.

Alternatively you could keep the brackets, buy a shield from Kawasaki and have cool feet!

Thanks for the feed back Chris.

Are you running with the baffle in or out? Do you wear ear plugs? I don't want much more noise, I'm more interested in the looks/weight saving and clean fuelling. (I'm in the hate the look of the original can camp)

Yes I thought I might get a heat shield from K. Any body know how much?

Hi

Baffle in, always wear ear plugs. Scorpion said it didn't make much difference whether the baffle was in or out noise wise so I haven't bothered to try it. Like you, I didn't want lots of noise just better looks and less weight than the original. Mrs B said it was a bit loud on the back when we were going over the passes (might have been something to do with the amount of acceleration!)but less so than most other aftermarket cans I think.

I had a response from Scorpion direct,

"Prices are £299.00 for stainless steel and £349.00 for carbon or titanium and delivery would be 7-10 days.
Unfortunately our exhaust doesn't include the heatshield".

Maybe i might just have to have one.
