Evening ladies and gents,
Just replaced my bike's ugly BMW stainless steel 'zorst with this nice carbon fibre piece of loveliness from the southern German speaking lands:
Sounds a bit fruitier too.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Defo an improvement, but I reckon might look even better if chopped to half-length (a la Two Brothers)

Thanks for the positive comments. I would add that it's much less of a faff fitting a new end can to the RS than it ever was fiddling with the underseat cans of the R1100S!

Hi Andy,
Yes I did. It's still holding up well! Full write up is on the R1200RS forum
Cheers,
