BMW R100GS Exhausts?
Anyone recommend a supplier of replacement exhaust systems in the UK? Not necessarily BMW. Possibly stainless steel.

I have the Laser ProDuro, which seems fine. It has a small amount of rust after over 30,000 miles and two winters. It makes a nice noise, a bit like an angry camel, if that's the sort of thing that you like.

can you do away with the collector box on the R100GS and put a pipe which is straight through with a remus silencer or simular?
It's just they don't sound very good and I think a beefier exhaust note may do the trick.

Yes, You can leave out the collector box and go with a simple 'y' into the muffler. I have this setup on my bike, exiting through a supertrapp exhaust (now if you want sound, there's a way to go.....). Just be warned that the collector box is there for a reason, and you may expereince a loss of mid-range or other exhaust related tuning foibles. I am still messing with the jetting on my bike. The sound is good but requires ear plugs for any ride past 15 minutes. Yes, I saved some weight as well.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
