Well done Frizzy, looks so much better. Not at all being picky, just think can is too big,Dual Oval? one same as your other bike would be great or tri oval as i have look better. Tri Oval with baffle out sounds amazing. Beautiful bike Mate.

Nice looking bike. I take it the Campbell exhausts are to be avoided. Looking to replace my twin standard silencers at some point but still trying to decide which ones.

Frizzy-Eric, if your Yoshies sound as good as mine, you would never change. I reckon a dual set up the same prob better, my old gs had that,not Yosh but Conti,  superb. Just not bothered to do.

I quite like the dual exhaust just need to save up the pennies to replace them not easy when the kids always need new clothes etc  :lol:
