Hi All,
Name is Shane from Melbourne, Australia. Returned to 2 wheels after a long absence (living in exotic places a bike will get you killed just a little too easily). Picked up a new 800S2R after moving home, owned a MHR 1000 in a previous life, and a Guzzi Le Mans too. Only complaint about the new Duke, it is too quiet, but how to get a nicer note without forking out thousands for an after market system? Cheers. 8)
Welcome Shane, you're from one of my favorite cities. :) I see you already found your local group. [thumbsup]
Congrats on your S2R, feel free to share pictures if you have any.
Go check out the Accessories & Mods (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=5.0) forum for some ideas on the exhaust, you'll find some options for slip-ons that might be in your budget. I believe there are some people who have just opened up the stock pipes but I can't remember how it worked out for them.
