No, any exhaust will not work. The original Hepco Beckers are unique and are run very close to the muffler exhaust. HB came out with an "improved" design that doesn't hug the rear muffler exhaust. Not sure if anyone has really found a set-up that works for the old style HB panniers.EricV said:
Thanks. This is what I had heard. I have a very new set of H&B quick release and can't see why any after market exhaust wouldn't fit but was hoping to find out from others. The bracket is al least 1" clear of the cover on the exhaust and I thought a new slip-on exhaust would fit completly under the cover anyway.TierHawg said:
Yeah it sounds a bit silly but earplugs only block out certain types of noise. The engine mechanicals can be clearly heard and its not a noise I like. I know there are lots of opinions but part of MY motorcycle experience is to enjoy a nice exhaust note. There are lots of reports when doing research of slip-on exhaust that don't fit with HB quick release sets. Not sure why and so was asking members from personal experience. The sounds bites you refer to are almost always while the bike is stationary and at idle. I was hoping for some personal experiences again on what they really sound like.EricV said:
Thanks for pointing out my error. Those pesky German engineers at play again.TierHawg said:
Is this still an issue if you remove the oem heat shield, or use a shorty verion?
i would bet that works with the Arrow - the original HB went straight across and pushed on the carbon tip.squarebore said:I've ordered a Two Brothers so I hope it fits. I think I have the 2nd gen of HB bracket as the brace goes behind the number plate and not under the guard. Anyway, I'm sure I can make it fit as I have a really big hammer and an oxy kit.
