Hi all,

Thanks for the info above, I thought I might share the results of my exhaust research.

The shortened mufflers as they were originally fitted to the bike were abnoxiously loud, and I was not keen on them for my neighbour's sake as much as my own ear drums.
So I set out to buy a stock exhaust, with the intention of running this on the bike permanently.

Picked one up from a wrecker for $220, below is a comparison of the stock mufflers vs. the ones on my bike.


I quickly discovered however that installing these would mean I needed to move the led indicators from their mounting position on the tail tidy as they were in line with the mufflers.



Begrudgingly I moved the indicators to mount them above the rear cowling and installed the stock mufflers so I could at least get a roadworthy certificate for the bike.


Unhappy with this result I set about improving the shortened mufflers. First step was to have a custom exhaust fabricator install some baffles which set me back $100 cash.
Next I needed to make them look like they belonged on the bike. After purchasing some spray paint and carbon fibre vinyl I set to work, here are the results.

Final product





Overall I'm pretty happy with the results, I was worried about heat on the vinyl but after an 80km ride last weekend both mufflers were cool enough to rest my hands on without melting my skin off, so no issues with the vinyl either.
With the baffles they also sound pretty sweet, quiet enough at idle but good bark under load...
