I have 7000 miles on my Kenda 270s and there are still some of those knobby things left.. - In DSN_klr650@y..., "cactus_reese" wrote:

Another mod that I was going to do this weekend was to install a Supertrapp IDS2. After taking off the pannier frame from Jesse Panniers, removing the stock muffler, etc. I found out that the Supertrapp system is a bit longer than the stock system. Unfortunately the placement of the muffler is where the pannier frame has to go and unless there is a different end cap for the muffler available, this is not going to work. If anyone else has run into this and has a workaround, let me know. If not, there will be a slightly used Supertrapp IDS2 for sale real soon. Steve Larson 01 KLR 650 00 Vn 800 01 R1150GS
