Liking the look of these ones.. However they're half the price of all the other Scorpion exhausts of the same model! I'm paranoid.

Before my Moriwakis I had Micron (NFRU) - they were fine - capable of setting off car alarms :crazy: . Whatever you get make you get efficient earplugs as while it nice for everyone else to hear you in passing, it is in the long term damaging to you as the rider.

Keep an eye on ebay for bargains as I got my second-hand Moris for £150 (thanks to Marty's tip off :thumbup: )

I'll have a look at microns too then, but god I'd murder someone if it got me a set of Moriwaki's!! :lol:

Also Wicky, while you're here.. I know it's unrelated, but how much difference does the Ohlins make to the bikes' handling?

Don't buy new, stick £200 to the side and wait for something to come up either on here or ebay.

How about an underseat conversion http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARATA-CARBON- ... 4172780a99

Can't get them Carl. Over £200 ;) and in wouldn't mind an under seat system. But no exhausts made for the storm would look right for it

Save your money till a bargain (folk here are often chopping & changing their systems) comes along and as suggested give it a bafflectomy to tide you over esp with being limited to 33 Rumanian lasagnes. I've got my Microns stashed away but they do need a good polish. Plus another (muted) pair of Microns marked for road use.

As for the joys of Ohlins,

Ohlins = Like embracing Scarlett Johansson smothered in baby oil in a steam room http://www.nudehottoddy.com

For an under-seat system you'll need to fabricate/mod you subframe, and do some engineering, or do you mean hi-level cans

It's the one above that needs spell correction and Arata don't make them for the Storm either. Mine are made for an SP.

How interestingly put Wicky.. Guess I'm definitely gonna keep my ohlins then :lol:


I mean either. I don't mind really, either of the two would make me a happy chappy :P

And is that in a top to bottom order Seb? Or just the order that they came to mind
