    Response last night wouldn't post.

    I'll get some pics today and a test ride in. It's really nice here this weekend. I know it's just a trick tho! It's only early march. We've had snow in April before.

    also will post up our newish comfort seat since we don't need it anymore

    It's quieter than I expected but I still have the cat installed. Probably good thing since wifee doesn't want it louder. I want to be able to hear it when we're running tho. It does sound better. Not so whish-y. More thump-y

    I'll try to load the clip

    Default Excellent !

    Thanks for the photos. That is absolutely beautiful and I anticipate that it probably sounds even better than it looks.

    Looking good there!!!

    PLEASE YOSHIMURA MAKE A SYSTEM FOR THE 2014> 1330 ACE TRIPLE ALREADY!!!

    I so badly want a Yoshi pipe on mine. Anyone know if a 2013 RT silencer will fit the '14 RT, even with minimal mods!?

    That blue looks great, we don't get that colour in UK. The Ostrich leather looks pimping

    What little I can tell from eBay pics and muffler sites like 2 Bros n tailgunner the 2014RT has a different connection than the 2013RT. Maybe the pipe angle is different? All these slip on mufflers are basically the same. Just need the correct connector pipe. I bet you could buy the Tailgunner pipe for your 2014RT and just a Yosh muffler and bracket and make it work without too much hassle if you really want to go to the bother.

    Tailgunner=TBR=Too Loud for me. The Yosh is the perfect cost/sound/performance choice. I loved it on my 990, and will wait for the 1330 version - which they say they don't have nor are working on.

    If you want the Yosh to be a tad louder, remove the baffle.....

    Hi Nito.....don't think you'll get away with a Tailgunner in the UK, maybe a tad too loud!

    But fit one anyway and if it's OK I'll think about getting one for the F3-S that's on the way!

    Congrats on the F3S OJ, would love to see it when you have it. Who are you buying from?

    I'm only considering the link pipe so I can run a Mivv or Yoshi pipe off it.

    What a shame Yoshimura aren't interested. Maybe we should get a show of names together of those who would buy a Yoshi pipe to hit them with an incentive. From an R&D point of view there can't be much involved in adapting the 2013 RT version to suit! A little R&D on tuning it for the larger engine would be nice but half the time I wonder how much really goes into this since most bikes just have an off the shelf muffler with a different link arrangement!

    Cheers
