Kevin, there are only 2 headers available for the XR650L from FMF, they are the Hi-Flo and the Powerbomb, just for your information. Thanks again. Bob

Oh I thought the Megabomb fit as well... Silly me.

I assume that the subframe supports also fit with some of the current aftermarket pipes. Do you know which those are, if there are any?

I have the DG slip-on, got it on ebay.

it's decent I guess, the sound isn't too raspy, but low and loud.

Sorry to say we don't.... Hey Inmates. Anyone tried successfully to put one on with an aftermarket pipe without modifying the supports or the pipe?

After we designed the support to fit with the stock pipe Big Gun sent over a prototype pipe for him and we made a one-off support to replace the surprise pipe that arrived after development. I will have to ask Patrick if they ever went into production with that pipe or not.... I am fairly certain that the designer kept the measurements of the new support. If we find that this pipe made prodcution we will account for this in the development of an update. That is a long way off though.

Yosh full system. Stainless headpipes with integrated mid, round AL muffler with a turn down I added when I worked at Muzzys. Bent stainless tubing was easy to come by. It came on the bike, looks to be fairly old. I haven't seen one on any other xrl EVER.

I put the Supertrapp quiet core on mine. I noticed a slight increase in performance, but thought it was loud and kind of raspy sounding. A friend gave me a lightly used White Bros, so I tried it. It was slightly louder than the ST, but not at all raspy. It was deep and throaty, plus there was a definite performance gain over the ST. For me, this pipe was a keeper.

For the record, I used the stock head pipe.

Anyone know the Largest Tire that will fit the rear with the supports on?

The support arms come inside of the swingarm around 1/2" per side. They are very high in the sub-frame and should be out of the way up to the point of full compression. I want to emphasize SHOULD. there is no science behind that answer. Unfortunately, the bike we designed the supports on met an untimely end in Nigeria and never made it home. Maybe one of the other guys can chime in here.

I read about him. Hope he is doing well.

Do you know what size tire he was running when he started the trip?

We had to make a set of custom arms for him last minute. Big Gun made him a custom exhaust at the 11th hour. But I do know he was running The Mefo Enduro Master DOT knobby (110/100-18 or 4.00-18) and the arms should be of a similar in "intrusion" into the field of travel.

As for Patrick (Trahan) - He had a hard fight for a while and treated his rehab like a job. Literally. I spoke to him a bout 6 weeks after the accident and he had an 8 hr daily schedule of workouts and PT. A year later (tomorrow) he will lead an adventure tour called "10 days Morocco Road & Off Road with Dakar Rallye rider Patrick Trahan". I'd say he is ahead of schedule. The doctors told him initially that he may never walk again.
