I love the look and the weight loss. It was obnoxious loud right out of the box, but I put the optional db killer in, and it helped a little (20% ??). We'll see what the rest of the neighborhood has to say.
I have done no carb work yet, but it is running fine. Feels like I'm getting somewhere between 205-208 hp at the rear wheel. I could be off a little on that estimate, by maybe 150 hp. Anyway, it feels no worse. None of that loss-of-midrange or lowered mpg so far.
Ordered it from David Silver Spares in the UK. Got good service via email, and it arrived in California in about a week.
I had to remove the guard from the header in order to twist things a half-hair to get the mid-pipe to go on.
I'm happy to recommend the equipment and David Silver Spares. Google him for a url and details.

Hi
I run a BSM Futrue pipe on my Baggi and it runs fine. I have run the bike on a dyno and the fuel mixture was pretty much spot on, a little rich at teh tp end but not to bad.
As for Dave Silver Spares that's who I got my pipe from and I agree with your comments. I had a bit of a problem with my pipe, the baffles came loose inside. One call to Dave Silver spares and they exchanged the smffler with a brand new one.

Yes, those are KTM Duke II mirrors. I think the part numbers are on the site here somewhere. I ordered them from ktm-parts.com.
The GPS is a Garmin 2610 in a Touratech bracket thing. Very stable, even on rough surfaces.
More to come. I got my Scotts Performance damper finished this week. I will post info later.
Cheers,
