Exhaust for R18 B or Transcontinental

[BigJimSlim]

Shark Road is the one I got for my Bmw R-18 B

The price on these seems too good to be true when the other options come in around $1500+.

How are you liking them? What's your experience been? I assume more growl, but any performance?

I finally got to take the bike out last night and the SharkRoad slip ons gave a nice tone stock. A little bit snappier throttle response but no noticeable power increase. Came home and took out the baffles. The sound without the baffles is amazing. Not too loud at idle, and nice on the highway without drone. I will be leaving the baffles out.

I put a set of Sharkroad slipons on my tc. Plug and play. 30 minute job and they look and sound great. Baffles are removable if you want louder but personally I love the sound and look. Absolutely beautiful mufflers.

Was you able to use existing panner/saddlebag bracket when installing the sharkroad slip ons? Sharkroad's are considerably less expensive than the Freedom performance mods, on freedom's site they provide the saddle bag brackets

I can answer that...yes, fits perfectly using the original mounts.

That is great!! ... the 'Freedoms' have a Harley style mounting ... that is actually the only thing that I do not like about them ... and yes I have a set of the 4 1/5 style.

Coming from the HD Touring world the first thing I'd like to change on my new R18 Transcontinental (yesterday I got it from the dealer) is the exhaust system (pipes and mufflers). I looked everywhere on the Web (from the BMW Motorrad site to Vance & Hines to Akrapovic to Dr. Jackill & Mr. Hide) but I couldn't find anything. The only options are for the R18 naked bikes.
Do You have any info about available products or soon to be released ones?

The V&H you must order through a BMW, its an agreement V&H and BMW have. I recommend Sharkroads
