GPR exhaust high level

#1 Post by Tonyunn » Wed Nov 05, 2014 8:17 am

Going to get a new exhaust for the bike, decided on a high level set up as I see no good reason for just getting a new pair that looks the same as the original pair, I had a high level set up on a monster and it looked good so I am going to give this a go.

Going for a can called a Fuore Nero, turns out they are the cheapest but the fact they look better than the more expensive ones is a bonus for me.

As with most high level kits for the Falco the indicators have to be moved.

Sort of a winter project as I can't see much riding getting done over the next few months.

See now they are sure purdy
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

They look good. I do like the high level conversion. So much less

I have one of the last bikes running standard cans which are in perfect condition, these will be stored just in case.

The deed is now done, about three weeks wait as they come from Italy

Actually moving the indicators is causing me more concern, need it to look good so as not to detract from the look overall.

I was going to get a set of these last year, but the problem comes when you try to put luggage on the bike. They are one of the nicest looking cans though, make sure you put up some pictures when you fit them.

if you are riding solo, then look at the wolfman tail packs

I have one and rate it highly - fine with my high mount renegades...

with the straps etc, it carries enough to go away camping for a weekend fairly easily


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Alad, did you have to move your indicators?
I am hoping a simple bracket will be enough, I will need to half fit the exhaust in order to see how things fit.
Don't want to fit a good set of pipes and have it look crap because of a shoddy set of indicators.

Buy a tail tidy this will allow you to move the indicators. :smt002

I've had a look at GPR before, they may appear on my bike at some point, once I have the big bore big valve engine in it.

doesn't matter about indicators

the bag fits by sliding over the rear cowl - the bit behind the passenger grab rail - and the secures to the rear foot pegs - you tension up on those

very very good bag imho

Very nice, but it's contravening a basic law of nature - one exhaust per cylinder
