BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Good morning (at least in Sweden..). I'm wondering if any of you know if the Remus Powercone and Revolution come with a removable "db-eater"?! That would be a big plus for me since all racetracks are quite picky with noiselevels...

Best regards,

Johan

According to http://www.exoticsportbike.com/remus.htm

Power Cone Slip-On: A silencer designed for performance street bikes. It incorporates the removable REVOLUTION sound reduction system by extracting an baffle insert. Light weight and an attractive modern look. noise output is convertible by adding or removing a noise canceling device no repacking ever.

Revolution (Removable Insert) Slip-On: Revolution is an insert feature allowing the owner to convert a baffled sport silencer into a straight through race can. No repacking ever. Canister in a Bolt-on version does not require a connector pipe.

Tackar Hass! Nu blev inte direkt valet lättare

Have you still got the stock exhaust? If not, what did you choose, and why?

Jag har fortfarande standardavgassystemet. Jag önskar att jag hade råd med en Remus (en fin Revolution i svart) men jag har svårt att motivera kostnaden. Jag kanske lägga pengarna på en ny 08 R1200R sadel istället!

I still have the standard exhaust can. I wish I could afford a Remus (a revolution in Black Satin) but I cant really justify the expense. I might spend my money on a 08 R1200R seat instead.

Is the 08 seat different from the 07?!

According to the reports it is the only change on the 08 bikes. I am hoping that it will be more comfortable. I usually love the seats on BMWs but the one on the R1200R isn't very good for longer trips.

I'm guessing the new seat isn't going to be more comfortable for the rider but only for the pillion based on little I've read about it.

The Bos Boxer technology oval endcans are also very nice and do feature a removable db eater(not very easy though but it's doable and I don't know how it compares to other systems). I have a carbon fiber Bos on mine and love it(only riding it without the db eater). Best thing compared to other brands is the steeper angle in witch it's placed(remus revolution has the same angle as the original one) and it's also placed closer to the rear wheel for a sleeker tighter look and still won't interfere with systemcases.

I can also provide some pictures of my own bike when interested.

Pictures please!

Here you go! You've got a good look on the angle here and the smaller distance to the rear wheel.


Love the steep angle of the BOS with will still alowe for systemcases to be mounted.

BOS is also a lot closer to the rear wheel with makes the bike look realy tight from behind.


P.S. the Bos decall is still laying un used in a drawer some where.

I have the powercone with the removable baffle - simple process as it is just held in place with a snap ring.

Do any of you guys know if the BOS is being sold in the US? Of the after market cans I have seen it is the one I would be most interested in hanging on my bike.

I'm afraid that Bos doesn't have dealers in the usa. There ares ome german and austrian e-bay sellers and maybe they do ship to you allthough there site says only european distribution. If this is interesting or not I can't tell.


Here an example of the austrian site:

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Yeah, I can't tell if it is interesting or not either as english is my only language (and rather poorly at that) but a quick google of euros verses $$$ tells me that it would be about $800. And I'm guessing that's just for the can.

Wow dollar ain't what it used to be
