Subject: lower exaust ?
Hi all,
I'm really interested in how to reduce wide of the @ with side boxes, I
tried different carrier solutions and now (ehm, better at moment) I
found one solution that satisfy me.
But now the question:
when I was in Germany last summer I bought Tourenfahrer 8/98 for read
something about @ vs KTM (ehm, also if I'm trying to learn german, up to
now I only watched pictures :-)). In one article I noticed that one
german guy, who went to Etiopien with his rd07, simply made lower the
original exhaust with one piece of metal as stirrup, in this way he
mounts two alu box with equal size as near as possible to the bike, so
the wide is reasonable and the mounting is near to centre of gravity of
the bike.
I think it's good also for touring off-road (not so much asphalt in
Etiopien...)
Now, with free choice about plastic or alu box, anyone of you made
similar modify to the exhaust and to the carrier? opinions? suggestions?
Bye
