Bought the 08 Superduke several weeks ago and have been reading and doing upgrades as they come along...
I'm an ex-pat living in the States since 96... Be gentle with me!

Most Sd owners go for slightly smaller silencers than the ones you've got fitted. They are very big, are they the new super quiet Akras? What is the finish? Are they carbon? If so I want some, where did you get them?

I found the link for those silencers, got mine ordered. There's a bit of a wait due to high demand but I think it'll be worth every penny.
I tried to order a re-packing kit at the same time, (just thinking ahead really), but Gear 4 said that there was some sort of shortage of packing material at the Akra factory as production of these new units had exhausted the fiberglass supply in Slovenia. I guess there's always some sort of penalty in the world for increase in power. But it does say the're "eco" so I don't feel so bad.
If anyone wants my full system I'll be posting it up here in the wanted section when I upgrade to this.

Looks like you could carry trophies home in it.
A new form of expansion chamber?

At least it is easy to change out the packing Bic just unlock then open the door replace packing then close door and lock .

Gordon says if you unlock them and let the sides flap open you get even more HP. But they wouldn't pass most track noise tests like that. He usually gets through scrutineering and then just lets them open on the grid. They flap about a bit but maybe could be adapted into some sort of air-brake system?

Sorry mate! welcome to the forum.
Just knew you were going to get a lot of stick about those panniers, from the UK lot at least, so thought I 'd get in there first and get it all over with. Think in the US they fit all worst of weird stuff to the SD but over here it's mostly sport bike use and not touring.
Enjoy.
