Tracerforme

Thanks Ty! that changes things. I just may have to hand it over to my TIG man. For one thing, it'll be a far better job! Cheers, Steve

LOL, for a bowl of pasta bolognese! How bad do you want this bike? Rascal! Cheers, Steve

Good find Lawrence. Thats what I would have expected to pay got the Tracer since the previous BMWF800GS was a little more than that. That covered me for dirt riding too. Waiting.....1 day. Go out and have fun! Cheers, Steve

LOL....when am going to try this mod on my bike? When I get it! I seriously have to sell my Ducati 748R to @eatpasta when he bothers to come to Oz to pick it up! The good lady of the house won't let me have 4 bikes.... So Ty, you didn't use gas with the Mig? C25, is this stainless fluxed core wire? I think the naming is different here. What gauge wire did you use? 0.9mm? Do you recall your settings? Thanks go to you 3 pioneers of pipeworx! Cheers, Steve

Lovely Ty! right, got it now with removing the inside pipe. The Dremel tool will come in handy to do the inside part. Perfect, I have that covered! I noticed only 4 small bead welds to secure the remnant S pipe to the cat chamber? Not all around? If that's the case, even easier! The hardest part is to cleanly re weld the cover! Is the muffler Stainless steel? Damn, will have to get stainless wire for the Mig..... Thanks again Ty & Ulewz! Cheers, Steve

Ty, you must show us some of the pics to see what you did on this version. I'm thinking this is the direction I'll be taking since it doesn't require an extra piece of pipe. Looking forward to your review & sound clips...... Cheers my good men! Pioneers of pipes! Steve

I must be the Emelda Marcos of boots! I have a Sidi Vertigo for summer. Alpine Stars goretex S-MX for winter. Alpine Stars Tech 10 for kicking car doors! I like a short boot similar to Wessies.

Ulewz, does this mod version include the 1.5in hole in the cat chamber or smaller? I'm thinking of doing this version since my welding is shithouse. Please let us know your method & review. Thanks.

Ear plugs will save your hearing.

Finally, Matte Grey is kicking goals! Go, Go, Go Grey!

Wessie, it would also greatly help if members mention their height (metric or imperial), the seat position & the screen (1 being the lowest, 3 being the highest of 3) position. Please gents. Perhaps Wessie, a table could be created to assist others in determining which aftermarket or Y brand product would best suit. Naturally, members opinions & reviews are always gratefully accepted. After reading your review of the Powerbronze, I'm afraid that most if not all screens will oscillate since the attachments are narrow & low. No matter how curved the upper surface is, the bending is happening down low. Thanks for your input. Cheers, Steve

Gents, it was an extremely kind gesture from the salesman here in Japan. It will grace my garage wall simply because it's completely written in Kanji. Except for the MT-09 Tracer & "Sport and Multi Tool Bike" blurb! I love it! Dmizer may be able to translate the other features blurbs, but, I'd reckon it'll be exactly the same as English! However, the Japanese accessories pamphlet has more stuff in it I reckon. Cheers, Steve

Welcome gents, That's the going rate for now. You can get other accessories thrown in, only if your dealer likes you. Good luck. It's going to be a special bike. Cheers, Steve

Hi kelpie, nah, I'm currently on holidays in Japan atm. When I return, I need to sell my Ducati 748R before I can pick up the Tracer that is actually set aside for me.k Hopefully, it won't take too long. Just today, I saw a Tracer here in Japan at the shop for.....8,590 Yen. Before taxes naturally, but the kind man gave me a price ride away if I was Japanese for 10,850 Yen! Talk about getting reamed! Damn Australian taxes & robbery! Anyway, He gave me a great brochure & accessories pamphlet to take away & recover! He even started it for me! I only know a few words in Japanese and he worked extremely hard to sell it to me! I thanked him immensely, but didn't have the guts to say I'm getting one in Aus! Extremely lovely people here! Will keep you posted. How are you going with your machine? C'mon, tell us! Cheers, Steve

That sounds great Ty! Even from the other side! That is really one cheap mod and gives you what we are all after, sounds of a triple! Great work mate! You waiting on me to weld my system? No way, I'm crap at MIG. I have a TIG fella to do that! I'm OK with a Dremel & grinder though! Cheers, Steve

Gents, I'm with QBE, but as I don't have my Tracer yet, I haven't even been given a quote silly me. First, I need the bike! Cheers, Steve

;)Great work Ty! So, you didn't cut your O2 sensor wire off then? You & Papac have pioneered the work for a budget do it yourself pipe work! 1 question I asked Papac, could you have added a little bit more of the cut off pipe including the bend when you added it to your new hole to point it out towards the outlet? Like the photo you asked Papac about? Would you get the required back pressure? Other than that query, great work you two! Cheers, Steve

8-)Ty, you gonna cut your O2 sensor wire? I think you're gonna need it! Good luck with the cuts. Keep us posted! Cheers, Steve

LoS will back me up on this.... it may only be 32deg, but humidity would be about 73%? Am I correct LoS?

8-)Matte's on the way back! C'mon!

Hi & welcome Hanman35. where abouts are you located? Thats a very good price! Without haggling & grips? Gees, that's ride away right? Good for you! Let us know when you pick it up & run it in. Take some snaps and enjoy it! Cheers, Steve

;)Welcome Lawrence! that is a good deal! I didn't haggle since it is just release here in Victoria. Wow, you are a keen chap! 76 still fighting fit! This bike will be perfect for you! That's the beauty about this bike, it's very light for what it is. Sure, the Multistrada is lighter, but also costs a bomb! Good luck, tell us all about it! Going to Tassie again? Perfect! I can visualise you tearing along Lake Plimsol road! Cheers, Steve

8-)C'mon Matte Greys!

Gees, it's neck & neck........

Ahhhh, that damn snow! I do feel for you Papac. I simply can't imagine not being able to ride a brand new bike because of it! Still, you have one and I don't. Cheers, Thanks for your input. Steve
