Laser Pro dura is hit by brake caliper!
Hi,
I have fitted lazer pro'duro cans with motad downpipes on both my 1988 3AJ Tenere and my partners 1991 XT600E. Both have been heavily loaded with all our gear for our big trip, with their standard rear shocks set to max preload and both have rear caliper shaped dents in the underside of their silencers.
Another minus point for them is that although the outer case of the silencer is made of stainless steel, the inner baffles already had surface rust on them when I received them new. As a result I presume that the baffles are made of mild steel. If that is the case then they will rust away due to the exhaust waver vapour condensing in the silencer and other exhaust gasses dissolving in that water to make a corrosive liquid. Having said that, our systems have done about 60 000 miles and still seem OK, I assume that this is partly because the bikes are never used for short trips, so getting the silencer hot enough to drive off the condensation.
On the plus side, no re-jetting of the carb's was required and they are quiet (possibly too quiet for some, there is a race can option)
