I really don't get this thread 1 incy tincy little bit . If you want to make it look different how about fitting girder forks, a 16" or a 19" or 21" front wheel, maybe convert it to twin shocks or a hard tail, put a gas halogen headlight on and a handlebar mounted gear lever, and running boards. All aesthetic changes that will allow you to go even slower with the stifled but loud engine !!!!!!! Better still just by a Harley and complete the aesthetic look ? Confused of Manchester

I do fancy one for my spare LC just for the look and the sound , I remember the Piper exhausts in the 70'/80's on GT185's and KH's the sound was great but then again so were crackle pipes so I guess it's up to the individual and if the price is right why not ? It's not so long ago that everyone wanted race TSA's now midrange pipes are the norm for road bikes.

Rename the forum the LC touring club. Midrange pipes; FFS it's an LC, buy it, tune it thrash it.

Each to their own I say. I do like the look of this pipe and am tempted at that price.

I'm looking into getting it, I need to ship home from Europe so it depends how much that costs. knowing my luck it'll be more expensive than the pipe. Phil Phil, have you looked on webbike website, they ship from Japan. I dont know what deal youre getting but you should know that these are not expensive pipes to start with.

are you talking the 2 into one or the twin pipe design, Kenny THe 2-1 will be down even maybe close to std power but the 2-2 will be close to the Allspeeds.

Go for it Phil. It’s different. That’s the beauty of hybrids etc

Hi Jonw, yes I've seen the Webike website, I bought some stuff from them a couple of years ago, nice and easy and good quality parts. This pipe is considerably less then the cost of a new one from the website, TBH I wouldn't be looking at it if it wasn't, I want to have it as a secondary idea, ultimately I will get the bike tuned and run a set of proper cans, the K2tec pipe will revert to another bike.

Go for it Phil Your bike, your choice. Variety is the spice of life, and we all like to see something different to the norm, and I've never seen one "in the flesh", so it would certainly draw attention Good luck Dusty

Well I just got a price to ship the thing to the UK, it was having to come from the Canarie Islands, so firstly it will be liable for Tax when it enters UK and then they want 220 euros to ship!! So that’s another idea dead in the water. Way more to ship than to buy it. Oh well 😔

My mate got a set of the mild steel twin set up from Webike, he paid £400 all in door to door all duties paid, not bad. Andy.

Rename the forum the LC touring club. Midrange pipes; FFS it's an LC, buy it, tune it thrash it. I totally agree with you, but I am curious how the two systems would work in a straight line sprint

I totally agree with you, but I am curious how the two systems would work in a straight line sprint The 2-1 pipe owner would easy off at 30mph, to look at the view..... The caravan they are towing probably won't help performance.

The caravan they are towing probably won't help performance. This caravan would look good on an lc with 2-1 pipe. A sprint race would be won easily as the opposition would be too busy looking in awe at the 2-1 pipe
