Beetles with D&D Slip-ons

[Loanstar]

I'm wondering if anyone is using these two products together?

I'm about ready to order the beetle bags for my 2010 R3 but when I called both Corbin and D&D, I didn't get anywhere with them as far as fitment goes. Neither one of them could tell me if the bags would fit over these pipes. I'm a little disappointed that D&D couldn;t even tell me if there was a difference in profile with their pipes, especially since I bought them.

Has anyone installed both? They look like they should work but it is an expensive risk to order these only to run into fitment problems.

Thanks in advance.

Hey loanstar I saw you posted this on all the other forums and I have not paid attention to whether you got a answer or not. I do not know but am wondering why you are choosing the DD slip ons or any other slip ons period. Unless you not looking to add Horse power. My advice to you would be to plerge a little more and buy a good power adder for a pipe. You can get more out of your stocker and then if you ever want to add real horse power to the bike you will have already purchased a good pipe ahead of time. The OEM header is verry restricting. you can buy a pipe that will produce 160 to 165 hp . I know of two but believe only one will fit with the beetle bags.



I just seen a Rocket Touring produce 165 hp and 165 ftlbs. of torque wit this pipe. With tune boy for tuning. I am sure with a little more tweaking you could get even closer to 170 hp.

Just a thought that you might consider
hope tis helps

I actually bought the bike with the D&D slip-ons already on it and there's plenty of HP. But, as it turns out the bags will fit nicely. I bought them through a dealer in case there are any issues. I've read a lot of bad stories about dealing with Corbin direct and the dealer is also arranging for much cheaper shipping for me. Corbin wanted $550.00 to get them over the border which is absurd.

Hopefully I have the bags by March as we can't start riding up here until April.

I was just browsing through all the forum's Warp9.9,this Rocket look's like it has a belt driven turbo and nice after market header possibly manufactured by John Carrpenter of drag racing fame.It's a very clean sleeper set-up right?Pretty sure I see a boost gauge mounted to the handlbar's.That's a Rocket for sure!

Well my friend your are close in both accounts. The difference being it is a belt driven Supercharger which is basically the same thing only different driven methods and the speed in which it spools up/ The turbo driven by exhaust gas pressur espools up much faster but falls off quicker it is done before 6000 rpms. I think a larger turbo is needed but I admit to not being a turbo expert. The header and megaohine were built by Bob Carpenter of Carpenter Racing and is sweet brings the most power to even a stock rocket. in Fact they tuned a R3T with tuneboy to 265 HP at 7500 rpms and believe with more fiddlign they could reach 170 easy. torque was at 162 or 163 if I remember right. The end cap and baffle I found on my own but Carpenter Racing can source them also. As for the beast she has a little hestitation in fourth gear around 184 but I shift her into fifth gear and she pulls right out of it like a frieght train.
