Yes, definitly nice without the strap. I must check were to get a Remus shipped to Sweden. And the price. Morepoweracing.com has very good prices on V&H and Two Brothers.

remus are expensive approx £400.00 plus post to sweden another option is beowulf, which are also a good quality exhaust here is 3 designs to check out...

That's some buttock perch you have George, is it as comfy as it looks?
What make is that seat?

As Viper already stated it is a Russell Day-Long.
It is an all day saddle, hence the name. It's so comfy that you don't notice it.
Unfortunately, I had to sell mine during the credit crunch, but I have a spare stock saddle now and WILL be getting another one.
I also have one on my GTR1000 and I have done 1050miles/18hrs in the saddle on that one (apart from petrol/cigarette stops) and the only pain I had was a tendon burn in my right shoulder from holding the throttle in one position all day.
It is custom built just for you and mine cost me about £450 with shipping to/from California.
You have to send them your saddle with some pictures and some measurements and they modify it to suit your height/weight/build/shape.
I'm a fatbast so you may be able to do without the heavy-duty suspension I had in mine which would reduce the cost to about £350.

Thanks for the reply George, must admit I'm no Twiggy myself, but funds wouldn't allow for that sort of expense, lloks a comfy seat though..

Thanks 2kvacks!

Now I have even more to choose from. Never heard of Beowulf before but I think they look really good!

No hurry, a long winter ahead...

That's how my Beowulf 450mm coloured Titanium can with carbon tip looks like.
Well, it has two straps, but I don't mind them really.
But I guess they may look cheap with the black cans, though.



The sound is awesome too.
A deep throaty growl but not too loud so I don't have to wear ear plugs. 
So I definitely won't take the baffle out.

Just found this one: BOS Black Magic.

Anyone tried one? I think it's super! And very clean with no straps around.

Mecki:

I see that you have crash protection. Can you recommend that model?

[mecki]

Yes, they are R&G Adventure bars and very sturdy.

I hope I'll never find out how well they actually protect the bike when dropped, though. 

[Mean1400]

Nice to hear, then I buy a pair.

Well I agree that we hopefully never will use them...

[Mean1400]

YES! Just bought a BOS Black Magic from zietech.de for 419€.
