I love 'em! I would love some high levels myself but don't want to give up the option to fit my panniers.

They look sweet as can be.

I think if/when the SL Carbons on my Falco pack it in, I'll get me some of them GPRs, too.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Have to see them in person but those look like they tuck in enough for the Aprilia frames to clear. Tempted.

I can take a close up photo of the back and side if it helps, they do now sit under the tail fairing, you may get the frames over the exhausts when you need to fit them.

If I remember right, the frames bolt onto the exhaust hanger so they will not bolt straight on securely. I'm sure they could fit with a bit of fettling though so definitely stick the pictures up (just because I want to drool over those cans some more).

I will and I also happen to have the tubes that GPR supply so you can fit the foot rests back on, I could lend you those so you could get a pair fabricated if you ever went ahead, I will see about pics when I can get into the garage.

Please do, when you get the chance though, no rush.
I saw one with pannier frames and the older style of under seat cans which didn't tuck right in. The frames were bent out at an awkward angle to go round the pipes. Didn't look good.

hopefully this gives you some idea of how they fit.

In this picture you can see the bolt hole for the footrest hanger.

Cheers Tony. That looks very doable. Now I just need some money.

One caveat, I work in a place where I was able to get two new clamp\straps made.
if you get oval cans there is not a chance in hell they fit to the bike, they only fit two ways, up or down, the bolts are to the side, if you use round cans then no problem.

Thanks for the heads up, we've got a machine shop and sundry motorcyclists wandering about so I should be able to get any adjusting/extra bits sorted.

Cheers, I'll take you up on that, may be a while though as I've got some expensive stuff I have to get out the way first.

They are very very nice. How do they sound? Gawd, I hope they're loud.

They let you know your on a big twin, at fifty mph the rider can't here them, I don't like loud pipes.
