GPR exhausts?

#1 Post by danthewhippet » Tue Apr 02, 2013 7:16 pm

Was going to post a question about slight pulse in front brakes, thought it was probably due to them being not as floaty as they should be, but i used the search function and eventually found what i was looking for ie, the method to free up bobbins. So i'd like to know any thoughts on GPR cans instead. Had the falco nearly two years now and using what i've learned from your good selves i've found that it has been de-restricted in the air-box and a k&n filter fitted, and the correct wire snipped at the ecu but still carries the original cans. Have been working towards a set of Fuel cans but came across GPR which, at the mo, are pretty much in the same ballpark price wise. Any thoughts/comments?
finally got round to fitting a set of adjustable footpegs and after a bit of adjustment on the gear lever they are working out alright (can now go more than 30mls without the need to stop for traction on me right leg!!!) just need a slight fiddle with the brake lever and stoplight switch and it'll be sorted.
OOPS....There goes another pillion!!

I've got oval GPRs on my Falco. Loud but not obscene. They look quite nice.

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...

Back when I had twin exhausts I was very taken by the GPR Hi-Mounts but they were always too expensive for my budget.

They do come in a range of styles:

I found something within my budget by buying a single Fuel Mille can and fitting a Mille 2:1 exhaust .... 1 can is much more cost-effective :smt002

It'll probably be a case of whatever of the two i can afford first, almost every time i build a wee budget for the bike the four wheeled money muncher rears its ugly head, and i'm not sure how long the gpr prices will stay down. slightly torn as well between italian cans for an italian bike or buying british.....and i do like cake in all its forms! thanks for the input.

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
