Can you give me some info about the gpr exhausts?

for example,did you fit them by your self?
was it easy?
do they need any modifications or tips to fit?
Hou about their quality?
and most important,do they fit right on the bike?I mean straight and balanced to each other and the tail when looking from behind.
also in off road use are they steady and hold right in their place,or they make any noises and unwanted movement ?
hope you understand what i mean.
thnx in advance!

Hi and thanks....to answer your questions...

Yep, I did fit them myself

Yep, fitting did need modding because the Yamaha pannier rails (original equipment - top photo) were too close to the exhausts so I had to create spacers to push the pannier rails outwards by 10mm to allow the panniers to drop on to their upper rails. But this is not relevant if you don't have Yamaha panniers.

Also, you have to make a plate to fill in the gap, under the seat, left by the removal of the original exhaust or you will expose all the relays, fuse box and the ECU to dirt and water sprayed directly up from the back wheel. This will probably be the case for any non-standard exhaust fitting not just GPR.

Quality is awesome. All the fittings fit perfectly, (apart from the above), and are well made. Mine have been on 2 years now and still only need soap and water to bring them back to new.

I ride off road and the exhausts do not move or rattle. They fit perfectly and are very light. They come with 2 decibel killers for each exhaust. You can use all, one, or none of them.

Would I buy them again for a different / new bike ?...Yes.

You're welcome...and there was zero performance increase until i fitted a DNA air filter and the O2 + fuel mods. Even then there was no more horse power just a more responsive crisper throttle, all helped by lowering the gearing slightly by changing a rear sprocket. So for me, a total of �700 it made no real performance difference . It just changed the looks and sound.

thnx again.
I found them in Greece for 490�.
for me the total weight loss from the upper and rear part of the bike is the most important,and afcourse the looks and the bling.
I m also thinking of changing the rear sprocket,and I have already the dna filter fitted.
so I m only missing the funds at the moment to get them :icon_neutral:

cheapest mod for "performance" increase is a smaller front sprocket ;-)

Took a short ride through the Hemel & Aarde valley (Heavan & Earth)
Close to home, but got the most relaxed experience when the wind softly blew through the needles of the pines, what a wonderful moment indeed

I'd see how you'd think that, especially with the sh"t standard suspension but since fitting them in December 2015 and having done many thousands of kilometres of riding around my back yard in an environment like this, with even more 'profiled' tyres (Karoo 3's), I've had zero problems. It was designed in that configuration specifically for the Tenere.
