Thanks for the heads up. Hell hath no fury and all that.

People are asking about H&B prices. 2 best places I have found are

Metal Mule say that their exhausts do not require any modification to teh engine management on the XT660. They claim their exhausts improve mid-range response.

Bearing in mind that you must have the MM exhaust to fit their panniers, a couple of people have commented about the cost of the MM exhaust system. I took my bike over to Zorstec in Huddersfield
www.zorstec.net
who make systems for bikes and cars. Andy said he would build and fit a stainless steel 2:1 system for the XT660R for �400. Comparable to MM when you consider the postage for the MM bits, and that you have to fit them yourself. Zorstec will build with or without baffles, or a system which can have removable baffles. Zorstec would use 60mm pipe rather than the 55mm MM, so you may have to set up on a Dyno afterwards. You would get some power improvement - and a lot more noise!!

thx for the pics! i've downloaded them all :-)
What's the size of your MM's?

i bought a new black yamaha tenere. MM give's two options. 31 or 38 litre. But i'm used to my earlier 45 litre jessecases.
So i'm still in doubt buying the 38 or 45 litre MM's. But i'm afraid the 45 litre MM is to wide.

these are the pics metal mule sent me yesterday!
very kind of them.

i'm going to buy this 38 litre cases!
