Nice! How do you like the Scorpions and what made you choose them?

@kixxit

Thanks!
I picked the Scorpions for a few reasons, nice sound, no need to ever re-pack, 50% crash replacement policy, the looks of these new Serket ones, annnnnnd they are centerstand friendly with stoppers etc. The fact that they have red accents was just a bonus. I was going to get carbon ones regardless as I am adding luggage, and the carbon mufflers stay relatively cool and won't melt whatever happens to be in the bags.

Ha! I was already planning on getting them. I had the dealer for my bike looking into the centerstand issue and you've just solved it for me! Looks like I'll be making a phone call tomorrow for my order!

How did you fit the rizomas if you don't mind me asking....
do you have a plate that works properly... last time I looked into it Rizoma didn't offer a proper fitament.

@kixxit, just fyi, 58 Cycle had a sale going, $922 shipped

@zx14 beast
Sorry, not a lot of help on the mirrors, they came with my 2006, and the shop (I have both bikes in there now just to swap some parts around) moved them over. I can try to take some close up pictures tomorrow and post them? I do really like the Rizoma products, they look great, VERY clear, you can see well behind you, although they are tiny, took some getting used to including almost merging into a Corolla once.

Forgot I snapped this, sorry for the low quality, my camera on the phone is lame, but this at least shows the mirrors and mounting plates and you should be able to zoom in on it.

@AussieZX
@timomasalin

Just ordered the Scorpions. One of the things that attracted me to this particular exhaust is that I can order inserts for them if I think they're too loud. I also requested that they come with the logo sticker detached.

@kixxit
They do come with the DB killers. Tip, take them out prior to install. They are a pain to get out afterwards.

Wow those looks great. Unfortunately the fuzzyness is preventing me from getting a really good look.

Don't suppose the Scorpion cans come with the tab to hold the rubber centerstand stop?

If not, what are you using to act as that?

Tks! Looks great!

Is your center stand OEM?

@kixxit, @extrapolator

Yes, the centerstand is factory Kawasaki, and yes, the Scorpions come with the centerstand stoppers.

timomasalin - When you take your bike off its centerstand, do you let the centerstand freely slam up against the rubber stop ... and if so, is it a SLAM, or does the rubber stop cushion the blow?

I fabbed a rubber stop holding tab for the Muzzy slipons I got, and in my effort to keep the centerstand up close to the bottom of the bike while riding, I let it get a little too close to the bike ... so when I take my bike off the centerstand if I were to let it freely spring up, it's a pretty good blow ... the left side actually contacts the left mid-pipe, since the centerstand twists a little as the right side contacts the rubber stop.

My fix for this is to sit on the bike when taking it off the centerstand, and use my left toe to control the centerstand on its way swinging up. Kinda lame, but it works ... until if/when I can come up with a tweak or better way.

@extrapolator
The Scorpions came with their own stopper which seems to work really well, it seems like I actually get more noise snapping up the kick stand. I had Muzzys on my 2006, and dont recall much noise out of that one either (also with centerstand) so maybe something that can be adjusted a bit? Maybe even just adding a bit more rubber on the stopper to make it better?
