Yes...Sideburners are available. Phat Perfromance has them I think. Someone on the site has them already too...they look great.

Dumontrider has them and posted a movie clip in the pipes sound clip thread thread, they sound great. Here is his clip.

That is the clip that made me ask about them. I guess. I just found it interesting that everyone is going Drag or V&H or the other HK's when this one is apparently avalible. I kinda like the sound of these ! I may just go to the stealer and see what they will charge me. I assume they need a remap of the FI? I also assume those are baffled? :?:

I have found no sites that say they are used on the C50. Am I missing something here??
Also, I just like the look of the 2 into 1.

Got it ...Had to look for it in particular on Phat...sorry about that. You have to go to the page and search by Manufacturer. Sorry for the trouble.

I had looked for some reviews but didn't find much. Guess the product is too new or not being bought.

Yea, they are just a few weeks old for our bike...but there are a few videos on Youtube on other bikes. Dumontrider may actually have been the first person to have them on a C50.

How do you like them? Install require a remap of FI? Looks like an easy install.ghostflames said:

Looks like i've been asleep at the wheel and missed this topic!! These pipes are painfully loud for the first hundred miles or so, but after that I was able to ride with a half helmet pretty comfortably. I still have to wear ear plugs while wearing my full helmet, the reflection inside is unbearable, especially while leaning into a right hand corner!!
The fit and finish is great, I just wish the heat shields went all the way up to the cylinders. As it is there is about 1 inch of exposed pipe that's not chromed, but that's the cost of having cool pipes! 8)
I don't have a FI controller, but i like to think i noticed more power, but it could be my head justifying the sound/price of the pipes lol :twisted: On a side note, I did not notice any drop in mileage whatsoever, I still average 170 miles/tank while commuting 2 up. Everybody says to expect about 10% drop :shrug:
All in all, these are my favorite looking/sounding pipes, followed very closely by the Big 3's. My theory was that if they are the same price, why not get the newest thing out there!? If price is a concern, it shouldn't be long before these are on ebay or other 'cheap outlets'. Let me know if you want any other pic/videos of them.
spc1spc1: you're thinking of drilling these things?! Wow, even with earplugs I don't think I could take that much sound! And I'm not sure how that would work, the baffle is more of an elongated donut, would you use a 90 degree bend to drill, or drill around the hole like the stock pipes? I've been wanting to have my dad ride the bike just so i can get an idea of how loud they are while in a cage.

my v.h.'s i took all the fiberglass out of the baffles and they were great. i just did not like the look. i was thinking about taking the back half of the h.k.s off then drilling from the front side of the pipe into the baffels. maybe put a few 1/2 holes evenly spaced. i might also try to use something to pull some fiberglass out. it might be awhile before i do this cause i'm to lasy to take the pipes off

Pricey is what I thought too 
but maybe they will come down on them in the future before I wear my bike out and not be able to ride it anymore!! :whine:
