I think Touratech supply a non-catalytic converter exhaust for this bike.

The UK Touratech importers are at www.bracken.co.uk.

Cheers

I would recommend a Staintune. The fit and finish are superb and I would highly recommend against a system with a chip. On a RTW trip you want to do everything you can to preserve your warranty when you travel vast distances as you can get any 'warranty' related issues on the road. A change to the Motronic will void your warranty on all EFI related systems.

Hope this helps.

Jonathan
