and I'm not wanting underslung either as this bike when I have another will be going offroad
@terry-tz Yeah I know, I was just saying I can vouch for his work in person. But can't comment on the performance or longevity. Had it some 5 years...only used it to drive a brand new engine to the lock up. So I really can't comment how well it holds up.
If the stock has been derestricted properly then it'll make good power.
You could invest money having it derestricted and have a good quality pipe.
My only gripe with the stock pipe is that, quality comes at a price. The thing weighs a TON!

@declan Yeah, there was a chap on the old forum who bought a brand new dep and just had it painted straight away.
At the time I didn't understand, but I get it now.
I think, the deps performance, weight were cracking. The fact I had to constantly clean it to stop rust was annoying.
But as Declan says, have it painted for protection, then you'd be winning.

Another plus for stock pipe is it fits exactly, had to alter the angle on one of the brackets on the Romue pipe and the socket fit of tail pipe to expansion chamber excessively tight, had to get the Dremel out and grind both so that tail pipe aligned with end mounting bracket. Not major just an annoyance, whereas stock pipe straight on. Refinished the stock one on my 88 and that looks OK, but is weighty as Calum says. Not fitted a Dep yet, only using as came with bike, my money would still go on Romeu or gutted stock

@vtrn_raptor I'm set on getting the Romeu Henriques know got it in my listing ready with a few other bits

@terry-tz I believe a full system was £320 something. But that was all stainless so I guess you can get it slightly cheaper non stainless and with no end can.
