Smile Stainless Steel OE Muffler

Hey all:
I stumbled across this, the "UK" kawasaki site.

https://www.kawasaki.co.uk/product.a...E71B3773&Sub=3

Our bike comes with the muffler not to mention looking better, but it's all stainless! I love fiull stainless systems.
Ya I know it may be restrictive but I'm seriously thinking on "going back" to the quiet side. I hate to loose the extra getty-up but I would feel alot better about statrting my bike up at 6am!
So, any UK guy's out here that have one for sale ????

ss would be nice for sure, but what i really think would be nice is that fuel lamp. in the pic, it looks like theres another light too. the brits get cool ****, so do the japs, but your main consumer the us gets ripped?

Their KLX are fuel-injetected, thats why they get the fuel light and FI light. If the US market offered something like that here with more displacement, I may reconsider.

Euro 3 emissions have probably made Kawasaki put on that exhaust.
The standard here in Aus is not so strict.
Pity, that looks a ripper.
That might explain why it's a few bob more exepnsive.

DJ- Maybe if you offered to swap your aftermarket system for their stock you may get more interest.
Just sayin'
Cheers jim

I've never seen this one before. Looks cool
The new KLX features an all-stainless steel exhaust system. A honeycomb catalyser (located in the silencer) and secondary air system, ensure Euro-III emissions regulations are met.

get your magnet out, i believe my 09 factory head pipe is 304 stainless which is non magnetic, cheaper 409 stainless is magnetic and will surface rust- search stainless steel, interesting different types and properties

If you like stainless, gotta put the Staintune in the mix.

One on an 09.
