Dieter, you also may want to check out Pirelli Scorpion Sync's  They come stock on KTM 950SM's

They last thousands of miles, work fine on the street and ok in the dirt.

since it's been bumped, Stu, when you moved the temp sensor to the v head did you use a valve cover off of a 620 (without oil cooler mounts) or trim the ds piece?

Since the transplanted engine is a DS1000, It would need a Horz intake valve cover from a Multistrada to do the move to the vertical w/o having the mount interfere w/the undertank area.  So, I had to trim this one.  Took a few minutes to do and after paint, you'll never see it even if it was visible.

i was trying to get an idea of what they sound like on monster. seems like every person posting a video of their ducati they'll hold the camera right buy the clutch or hurricane force winds.

did running the 2 singles pipes, without the bridge, have any effect on the engine of performance?

The system uses equal length pipes so the effect of having 2 separate exhaust pipes was kept to a minimum.  The greatest loss (IMO) was likely due to the lack of any scavenging effect b/c the two exhaust pipes never met each other.  But, it was a dead-stock DS1000 motor w/dead-stock gearing and heavy wheels but still hauled the mail!  waytogo

I'm sure it's not an ideal system and may be down a few HP from a set of slip-ons, but because the customer was coming off a 695, I would've had to plug one pipe completely for him to be unimpressed w/the power.
