I do say Super Trapps are the best, but they will attract the wrong kind of attention...

 

my main concern is getting rid of the excess weight of the two "artillerry rounds"....probably will go for Leo Vince SBK....anyone got any idea of the prices

Totally agree. Stock pipes weight is >2 times my Super Trapps. At maximum seat height pre-load adjustment, with Super Trapps I need to tip-toes abit at red lights. With stock "artillerry rounds", I need to bend knees even.

hahahaha......the "artillery rounds" are sure heavy but have you ever weigh them? curious about the weight....

 

My weighing method is this: Basically Super Trapp (other after-market pipes) can fling around like light sabre, stock pipes need 2 hands to carry EACH pipe. So, to me, thats way way TOO heavy.

Time for some off-road riding.........:)

 

my tyres are off-road type already.

 

just changed the handle bar for my vstrom650 to african twin and it seems that i am riding on a new machine altogether.

 

and the ride is more fun than before.

 

now, i am ready for some off-road riding.....

regards,

only got rear 18 inch....

 

i think the closest is the michelin sirac...but that's semi off road tyre...

the tdm has the same problem as the vara125...front tyre problem...

 

another choice is u change the rim...

or better still....change bike! :giddy:

I read somewhere on the Leo Vince website that each "round" weighs 6kg.....

Set your idle at around 1200 and it should solve the problem
