renegade exhaust system

hi all , i am just about to buy the very sexy SV650s and im thinking of adding the renegade exhaust system, can you tell me what if they are legal, if not how do i get insured and whats the chancecs of gettingin pulled over by captin copper and his mates ?

Can't help on the zorst Stew but welcome to the board

Maybe try putting a post in the "Exhaust" section (right down the bottom of the front menu on the forum). All the techno-nuts who know about exhausts tend to lurk in there.

And welcome!

No Renegade will be road-legal.

But that's not put many people off

They do road legal ones for a bit extra,but once youve heard the race ones you wont want anything else!

Ive got the twin exhausts on mine and had a talking to by a copper once in 4 years of owning the bike. I was drag racing my mate from the lights at the time so kind of asked for it

Right bike and right exhaust have fun

I've a high level race can on and never been pulled - as long as you're sensible you should be ok. If you keep the rpm low they're not too bad.

The others are right, once you've got a race can on you won't be able to go back, it just makes riding so much more fun. Renegade is one of the best choices for the SV imo.

1) They are not legal
2) I had no problem with insurance (with Carol Nash)
3) Had the cans for 3 years and was never pulled - also did a Bikesafe with them on and the only comment was 'bloody hell, they sound nice'

Renegade cans are top quality kit, with great service and an awesome sound - DO IT

Just to clarify,Renegade do make road legal pipes but you needn't bother with them

The sound they make is not the loudest you can get,but its plenty loud enough and is a much nicer noise than most. Some can sound quite tinny and others sound like tractors imo

Renegades let out that lovely v twin drone \/ for everyone to enjoy. Well maybe not everyone!

Got a "not for road use" round stainless renegade on my K3 650s and its a beaut. Sounds wonderful, so much so that I tend to avoid putting ear plugs in when going for a ride. I've not been pulled as I'm quite careful when riding through towns/villages and near PLOD. Dunno if its normal BUT my can ends somewhere around the middle of the rear wheel. Oh, and theres a hell of a weight saving over the standard heavy (I'll say) can
which means of course more power/ration - cant be a bad thing can it?
GO GET IT MATE

as do Scorpions.

Stewboy, Id try and meet up with a few SV owners and hear what their cans sound like if I were you. There are differences - volume wise my scorpions about the same as Moriartys Renegade, but they have a different tone to them.

I love my Scorpion cos its E4 stamped, and the baffle removal/ replacement is lyn proof
