R&G have a reputation for being some of the best
BUT
you have to drill the fairing to fit them and you'll have to remove and refit them every time you take your fairing off


I've got some from Rhencullen which are pretty monstrous but I've only tested them at low speed (so far! :) )

Also got high level Remus cans (road legal) which I didn't rejet initially for but after fitting a Pipercross filter were a bit lean (130 miles to reserve on a 16L tank!)
You can get a Remus spacer kit for the pillion footrests which includes longer bolts
The cans allow you to retain the standard blinkicators but massively improve ground clearance (the exhaust headers go down on right handers before the cans -I know this from experience :P )

Ooh - where did you get the Rhencullen ones from... I don't really want todrill fairing etc... What about the smaller DHM Motrax ones???

The exhausts look awesome - thats exactly what I'm after but they are quite a lot new.

Can you fiddle with the jeting your self or is it a case of buying a dynojet kit and getting someone to set it up for you?


Oh, and everyone else -nice hijack! :evil:

Ben,

I like what you've done with your storm, mate. :D
Gives it a nice tight and compact look, very cool. :twisted:
My other job is navigator on an Intergalactic
Spice Freighter

Red (of course) 99 storm. Vance & Hines SS2 cans, Dynajet kit and K&N filter.

Cheers boys,

The Rhencullen ones are from Rhencullen in Hinkley
http://www.rhencullen.co.uk

I think from looking at them the DHM's are just an update of the Topblok ones in my earlier photo so they have been tested :lol:

WRT exhausts, if you're after something cheaper you could get pretty much anything you can find and just buy the Remus spacers and chop them down as required

Jetting
Depends how good you are mechanically. If you're reasonably competent there's nothing hard in fitting a dynojet kit -it'll work reasonably well on their recommended settings.
However, to get the fuelling spot on you'll want to take it to a decent dyno shop and get them to set it up
NB IF YOU GO WITH THE SECOND OPTION DON'T WASTE THE MONEY ON THE DYNOJET KIT, THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL THE JETS, SHIMS ETC TO SET IT PERFECTLY
And if you're going that route get a filter (K&N or Pipercross) instead. It'll pay for itself within a year

Ben

PS nice try cuppasoup :lol:
