961 De-cat exhaust pipes
Up to Commando 961
Has anyone fitted de-cat exhausts to their 961 or removed the cat from the exhaust? I was told some time ago that a version would be available from the factory but I guess they have other more important issues to deal with at the moment.
I would also like one for mine and was also told there would be one available but have not heard. Maybe worth a call to Motad who make the exhausts to see if they will be doing one.
I've De-Cat'd two previous bikes and was really impressed by the difference it makes, much better mid range and top end Sorry Both where BMW's one I messed around with a TechLution Tuning Module as well to make it even better, but intantly had improvement over standard performance giving slightly lounder and gruffer sound without being offenesive.
Theres a Great Company in Norfolk we use for our Classic Bikes Pipes called Paravani he would be the man to talk to if you want your standard SS pipes de-cat'd by cut n shut. He be doing the Bike I must not meansion here assoon as i can get a set of SH front pipes for it.
Happy Near Year Peeps
Thanks for the information Graham, I may give them a try. I have already asked the Motad people at the Stafford show but so far they have not made any de-cat exhausts for the 961. I would imagine that the mixture will be affected so that would also need to be addressed.

They do do a louder peashooter silencer at Nortons, not as loud as the stubby ones, but not as muted as the standard peashooters, I've got them fitted on mine and everyone says that it sounds great and it goes ok so perhaps try them.

Thanks John but I already have them fitted and as you say they sound good and seem to improve performance. I thought that with the cat in the exhaust removed there would be an even greater boost to performance and a bit more noise. I also have the standard silencers(as new) if anyone is interested.
I would still like to get a de-cat version of the exhausts for my 961 Sport, I checked with Motad a while back at one of the bike shows but they don't have one yet. I have the sport silencers fitted but I'm sure that the cat fitted in line on the two exhausts just before the silencer fits must be very restrictive. I would also like a bit more noise to cover up the sound from the engine!!
