  3. 2 sets of cans yeah probably a stainless & carbon set but I bet they were both 50mm slip ons, the 70mm race kit's a different beasty altogether and easily identifiable by the sweepy uppy curvy section between the cans and the link pipe even the R didn't come with that AFAIK

  4. Both sets of cans that came with mine were carbon and, out of curiosity, I just checked mine with the verniers and they are 70mm (measured at the footpeg) and around 55 at the can. I don't know the dimensions of the standard set as they are hiding somewhere up in the attic. I bought mine used and that's what came with the bike but I think the original owner just passed on everything that came with it new.

  8. Yes someone's fitted the optional 70mm pipes. Some info gleaned from 1098s Tricolour reviews "2-1-2 layout that uses 52mm-57mm dia tubing.."

  9. I think there is only a hand full of Tricolore 1198S's in Ire - maybe only 3? Doug has one.

  10. Saw a couple of others at the NW200 a few years back but didn't meet the owners. You are probably right about the numbers as apart from those I haven't seen any others.
