Hello and welcome to the group. Lots of great info here, but I am sure we could learn from your experiences so far. Good to have you here.

Thanx Guys ;)

Well, you all most probably seen and heard of SA and our lovely gravel roads ::008:: I have done about 15000km which most of them where done on gravel by me and my trusted steed.
I bought my ST with Adventure kit, new last year September. I have added quite a lot of extras on. Like the following, Raised handle bar blocks, heated grips, Split screen, Schorch pipe and removed the CAT. Got a throttle module to help with the fueling. LED indictors, Yami spots. Remote tyre pressure monitor. A switch to switch of my ABS for the more aggressive adventure riding style and well.....quite a few other bling.

Well thats about it from my ::022::. As me 8) Helicopter Engineer, working out of SA on a 6week rotation in darkest Africa and earning $$$ ::016:: To spend on more bling.

Taken some time and done a bit of reading, starting to like this forum, so you’ll see me more often ::008::

Hi, there is a company in Cape Town who make up there own pipes. The guy knows quite a bit of noise pipes. When I got the S10, about the 3de in SA, tried the Acropolvic. Did not like the beat. The Yami agent got hold of Schorch and they made up a pipe. It sound awesome. Nice low down beat, when you need to blip it through traffic, every cage knows you there.

Hey dude, also have the Scorch, but still have the CAT. Did it make a difference removing it? I have had Reynard gut my KTM pipes in both my previous bikes and he does a great job.
