Decided to wait a bit on the Givi but it looks like I will be taking that route.
As far as the scorpion goes, recieved that yesterday and installed last night.
Sounds way better than stock, more agressive sound in higher RPM's with a low idle rumble that makes me smile :)
Directions really sucked, looks like scorpion takes it for granted you know how to do stuff as the only instructions was an exploded view of the slip-on, midpipe and clamps. One of the clamps was a very tight fit and was a lot smaller than the other. I tried reversing the order of the clamps on the midpipe and it was too small at both ends. I ended up
tappering the midpipe end that connects to the slip on and installing it there. After a few aggravating moments I got it together. I didnt have the right thermal sealant on hand (thought I did ) so I tightened the clamps down cold, then warmed the bike and tightened em some more and it seems that I have no leaks anywhere for the time being.
The parts list shows I should of recieved a chrome hanger and plastic insert that wraps the can and mounts behind the rear pegs but all I recieved in that department was a black carbon fiber looking hanger. It appears to be tough enough and is holding the can firmly in place ok even after about 75 miles of test riding.
Overall I'm satisfied with the setup and really enjoy the new sound. Pipe city charged $299.00 with free shipping for
this pipe and it took about a week to arrive Fedex ground.
Scale of 1 to 10 for my experience Pipecity gets a 7 since they didnt have the round in stock twice and I had to go oval. Scorpion gets a 8 since they failed to update their parts list for the new hardware (or lack thereof ) and for the one clamp being barely barely barely large enough. A large clamp like the other would of been perfect.
