further info in due course

interestingly i bought a gasket but didnt need it - it wont fit in the pipe. i opened it though and managed to stab myself with the wires in it - so if you are fiddling with the exhaust gasket watch out.....they're sharp

That doesn't sound too bad. I had a listen to a few other exhausts on youtube as well, although I like to hear it in person before I lash out and buy.

PM are you raising a new Bandit rider ?

it sounds loud to me although i might be just used to the other one - there is also no baffle in it - it came as a straight thru pipe.

there is a fair bit of banging and popping on overrun sometimes - mostly at lower rpm, and there is the occasional loud pop when you close the throttle to change gear, havent had a chance to take it for a longer run yet as i have just been riding around the burbs, but i am going to oph on saturday morning so i will see how it goes

he cant ride a bicycle properly yet! - and i am also glad the engine wasnt running when the throttle was twisted to the stop

been using it for a while now. makes a much more satisfactory noise than the standard item although I haven't heard it personally under load [just blipping the throttle]- next time we have a ride I will have to get someone to ride it so i can listen from the outside.

cant say if it makes any difference as to how it goes.......will report back in due course

I have a megacycle on my 2008 bandit (came with the bike when i bought it). It is a great sounding exhaust - so much better than the original 'truck' exhaust. Re the popping sound on deacceleration this is a comment from Megacycle: " Its just a little lean on decel the popping isn’t nothing to worry about".

Does anyone recommend any cleaner/polish to use on the exhaust?

I use a metal polish is a silver jar. cant think of what its called. works a treat. i shall have and look at the name and get back to you.

"Purple Stuff" is the good gear for keeping the muffler bright and shiney.
