Default Which exhaust? K8.

Price wasn't my worry. I wasn't paying AND the alternative was an OEM at £1,400.
I had an ART on a curvy that was much harsher sounding and didn't have the subtle popping and fruitiness of the Scorpion.
The carbon Scorpion cans are very light - about 2kg compared with the OEM 4kg+

Standard rocket launcher to Fuel maxi stainless. Been mentioned on here to avoid carbons on a v-twin.

I had the scorpion and really liked it on the pointy. Very light and made a great sound. Nice and legal too with the removable baffle.



Prior to fitting the Scorpion my pointy had a Blueflame evo stainless. Lovely sound and quality but I felt the Scorpion looked better

I've heard that one too but I had one on my pointy for a couple of years and absolutely no problems whatsoever. I even mentioned it to scorpion who said they'd replace old for new under their warranty.

To be honest I've not actually heard first hand of anyone suffering problems directly attributed to a v-twin motor with a reputable branded carbon exhaust.

I had heard of the vtwin carbon issue. All I could find was stories of exhausts that long needed repacking. Choose the make carefully and choose one that doesn't need repacking was my thought.

Iv seen a fuel brushed stainless 350mm for 125 quid seems like a good deal may well go for it!

Only get it if you really think it's a good idea. I've got this and also the Beowulf. Yes the danmoto does sound nice but is very very loud so loud that people don't like riding behind me cos of the noise. These also look the nuts on the bike too. Build quality is surprisingly good. springs are very good and strong. Not going to break anytime soon. And for around £100 delivered can't go wrong. I bought there rear sets which are fully adjustable so comfy for me but those who have ridden my bike think it's no so comfy.
