    They do have db killers which you can leave out if you want, they just slide into the cans on the header side.

    Unit Garage Exhaust

    Yes, they are higher than the walzworks, at least from what I can tell in the fotos. They flare out a little but you can really adjust what angle they’re at - flared out, up, or down, just by where you put them on the connector pipe. I’ll get a couple photos of that probably tomorrow. I haven’t...

    Unit Garage Exhaust

    There is not a significant difference in the upper and lower bends in the unit garage pipe and my stock pipes, the difference is the short straight pipe in between that gives it a more square appearance.

    Question What boots work well with the R18?

    I don’t have the shin-banging problem (shorter legs?) but for easier shifting and braking I got the Wunderlich longer levers, they helped a lot.

    Information Brake light wiring

    I’m trying to install a ST2 brake light module. (It flashes the brake light if you slow by engine braking or downshift and don’t use the brakes). The instructions say to tap into the grey/red, grey/black, and brown wires. My rear lights have blue, brown, yellow, grey wires. (Grey and brown goes...

    Unit Garage Exhaust

    🤦‍♂️ This welded section pipe is a style liked and chosen by many. You’ve never seen them before? Of course they can mandrel bend a pipe, look at other things they produce. I chose to keep my stock headers because this wasn’t the look I wanted on this bike, but their products are all excellent...

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    Igniting is why you want lithium iron phosphate not lithium ion

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    NOT lithium ion - it’s Lithium IRON phosphates- 2 different things. Lithium IRON phosphate doesn’t overheat and explode or cause a fire like lithium ion. Doesn’t sulfate while sitting. For a big bike up to 20 lbs lighter than lead acid.

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    I installed a lithium iron battery from Shorei in 2 of my bikes. More power, much smaller, weighed literally less than 1/4 what the stock battery weighed, the bike could sit for over 4 months and not self-discharge, mount in any position, when needed (only once)I just used a regular Battery...

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    Hey, you express your opinion and I express mine- that’s what it’s all about.

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    I had before and after dyno runs on both my triumphs and it made a 10% increase and 12% increase with just the filter/air box change. Much more whenever I did exhaust & tune change with it. I haven’t done a dyno run on my R18 but every bike I’ve ever owned (many in 50 years of riding) has had...

    Personally, I like the stainless better, not only do they get that nice stainless patina as you use them but the maintenance is a lot easier than chrome.

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    There is plenty of evidence that increasing air flow increases power. There is also plenty of evidence that K&N / DNA type filters do a better job of filtering the air. Additionally, the ability to clean and reuse the filter, as opposed to replacing stock paper filters each time, is not only...

    Question Need a small bag recommendation (non-tank bag)

    What about the small BMW bag that goes on the right side over the side cover, I’ve got one you can have cheap.
