The sound is slightly louder and deeper. I didn’t investigate the possibility of removing the DB killers. I took it out today for a quick test ride after installing the exhaust tips and heard more pops and cracks on deceleration.

Thanks for instructions regarding YouTube links. Hopefully this works. Sadly found out today that the dog passed away 12 hours later. Family very upset but said it was not in any way my fault. I think the video clip bears this out.

smart that you ride with both a front a rear camera. I just recently decided to add cameras to all of my bikes to keep a video record in case of an accident or incident.

Question, where did you get the headlight trim ring ? Is that a BMW part ? if so do you have a part number ?

 

[R2K]

Damn! Glad you are ok, you did well keeping it upright. Fairly large dog, sorry for him and his family. Nothing you could have done, shocking how fast it happened.

I really like the sound and the mufflers look great.

There is gonna be special pricing on the BT moto Brentune soon.I highly recommend it to not only get better performance but to get a deep and richer sound.Thanks for posting the pics & videos.
Glad to see folks like you here.

Sorry for you and for the dog.

/unlike our spleen, a dog's spleen is encased by smooth muscle
//in the case of internal or external hemorrhage, the muscle contracts resulting, essentially, in an autotransfusion
///this is why you may see a dog limp away after trauma, only to die later

Installed this Fuel cap.Not bad.I ordered this from aliexpress,less than $60 shipped.Notice the tiny set screws in the opening.The cap is actually 2 pieces.I recommend loosening the set screws a little then screwing the inner portion off.Then install into the tank.Next install the lid portion.It screws into the inner ring.I also had the guy send me 2 extra rubber gaskets to ensure fitment with the tank bag center leather strip. I got this becasue the arthritis in my hands makes getting the heavy locking hard to grip when taking the cap off. I accidentally dropped the oem cap and bounced it off the tank.So I will be getting the BMW small tank bag to cover the slight ding in the tank.I know,I know.Makes me crazy that happened but,I don't have $3000 for a new painted tank.I also had a dent Dr look at it and he said the inside of the tank filler makes it impossible to to do a ding repair.
Again,just providing information.Not trying to sell anything.

Can you post a picture from the side showing the height and how flush it is to the tank?

Sure,Here ya go MD.The trick is
If the 2 piece unit is not taken apart the edges fit to close.
Now that I figured that out.I don't think I need the extra gaskets.Comes with 2 but I asked for 2 more because I was thinking like you and paint damage.
The fuel cap comes with 2 gaskets.I asked the seller to send 4 rubber gaskets.4 gaskets were a perfect fit with small tank bag.

I really like the look of this cap but I wish was also offered in matte black.

It does come brushed aluminum and have it powder coated.We have a guy here that ceramic coats in different colors.I had him coat my Rinehart Slimline dual header gray.Came out nice.
