I may have to take those off your hands. Wonder if there's way to install noise-reducing insert. Perhaps with some cutting & welding... hmmm....
Yeah, I can do that. I'm sure they're a good bit lighter. From what I can gather, Yoshimura didn't make a db killer for these but they're pretty simple if you have some pipe and a welder. I ordered a silencer/insert for the Yoshi (RS3?? I think?) on my SV and it worked pretty well.

Here is what it looks like on the RS3 model:


No silencer:


Installed:


I was skeptical as to whether it would make a difference or not... it sure did though. Mufflers and the associated acoustics fall into the dark arts, I don't understand them but I like them quieted down. I'm glad this worked on my 650 at any rate.
