Help deciding slip on mufflers

[johndeeredr]

I would like input on which slip on mufflers would be a good option for a R1800B . Don’t want to change the header pipes . Just looking for a deeper sound without have to take a second mortgage out on my house . I see the sharkroads on e bay for 470 US dollars . Are they worth it ?

If you don't mind spending money, the Wunderlich Jekyll & Hide pipes have 3 sounds that you can choose with the push of a button.

I have the Sharkroads on my TC. Good quality, fit, and sound.

I likes the Sharkroad so much, I installed them on both of my R18s.

I went the sharkroad route as well.

I picked up a set from ebay. Didn't like the black tips they came with so I purchased a pair of chrome tips from their website. Ran with the baffles out and enjoyed the sound. Put the baffles back in after the ride but might pull them back out. I have a new Sena SRL Mesh unit for my Neotech 2 helmet arriving soon. Depending on how the new headset and exhaust play together, setup may change.

Go with Sharkroads, look great, sound good and won't brake the bank.

Do they drone at highway speeds or make it harder to hear the stereo on the TC?

Even though the pipes from Wunderlich are expensive, you can get 3 different notes at the push of a button.

Just saying we are doing a group but on the Pro Race system!

you mean loudspeakers in the fairing or in the helmet?

In the fairing.

In the fairing.

drone or not, any louder (no)muffler means you will need to turn that up no?!

No Drone. Wife is happy on the back seat dancing to Taylor Swift and Chappel Roan if that is any indication.

Hi,
Did you have to retune the emission system.

Thx

The R18 has a flexible program with about 30% margin so it ´retunes´ itself. If it is a véry free flow no-muffler some will occasionally throw a CEL because a post cat O2 sensor is out of spec. Should not be an issue with these.

No need for a tune. Slap them on and be happy.

I went with the Freedom Performance 4" slip-ons and am happy ... won't sound as good as a v-twin or a Triumph parallel twin but it's better than stock.
