Hi Guys ,

New to the site , so don't know if this is the right place to post this . . .

Anyway , just a quick question , I want to replace the standard pipes with an aftermarket two pipe system , I'll not be needing panniers for 70% of my riding , but would like to keep the OE Yamaha luggage rails for travelling . . . . ( standard Yamaha rails and boxes came with the bike , so may as well use them )

In a nut shell . . are there pipes that don't require the removal of the rails , MTC ( round / oval ) , GPR , Arrow etc ??

Also want to fit a rear rack . . . any recommendations ?

Thanks in advance

Michael

Really nice job.
I ordered the quick release panniers holders from sw-motech and will see when they get here if I need the same mods (spacers to the panniers rack) because I have a single mivv exhaust on the right side and it's not under the seat...

Thanks for your help Guys ,

Great video of fitting GPR pipes Pepsi . . . . cheers .

On reflection , and seeing Jacque le Rouxs' pics , I think the single Exan will be on the shopping list , though I 'll be sure to make something up for the OE panniers . . .

cheers ,

Michael

OE panniers and rails work fine with my oval Exan can.

What size spacers dit you make ?
What about the distance to the lower mounting points. Are they still in the original place or did you move them as well ?

I have managed to add the panniers even if I have the 2 in 1 exhaust that is much wider on the side of the bike, without any modifications, just "plug and play"
