Finally fitted the HP8 EX. Pretty straightforward install. Fit and finish are absolutely top shelf and looks are also fantastic, but it has a seriously nasty and painful drone from idle to 5k rpm without the db killer in. It's impossible to stand. With the db killer it is tolerable. The issue is not that the system is loud because it isn't really loud. The issue is that the muffler exit is right below your ears and an engine drone reflects back from the ground straight into your ears. Will give it some time to see if I can live with it. NOTE: If you buy one ... the db killer does NOT come with it. YOu have to order it and pay extra. I bought directly from Dominator in Poland and paid in Zloty. That gives the best price which was $650 delivered to my door incl. db killer.

Very interesting about the drone issues as my exhaust is nearly identical to yours! Pretty quiet with a smooth, deep tone until you romp it. Fortunately, no droning. Can pretty much be overlooked when just cruising.

I think there are two key differences: The opening is a bit further back and oriented more towards the back on the MT system because it does not have to clear the main stand like on a Tracer and there is also more space due to the swooped up swing arm on the old MT. THis makes a difference. The system is not loud at all but the drone will give you a concussion after five minutes riding. Other Tracer owners also commented and experienced the drone (FB group) so I know I'm not alone.

If you want to laugh i'm wider than the handlebars

So the panniers don't make much difference ha ha

I have to run two inch out and 5 quarters inch up on my mirror extenders!

I usually run a top box without the panniers anyway, Unless I'm on tour and then I'm taking it easy most of the time and not splitting lanes which is not legal most places I go.

I just went from an S h fortysix to their

Amazingly it uses the same bottom plate on the mounting arms
