Title: 1000S Staintune Surprise!
Post by: Dave Swanson on August 03, 2020, 07:42:28 PM: My 1000S came with a glorious sounding Staintune exhaust system. The prior owner had went down and scraped up the left side of the 'tunes, and I added a blemish to the left when I took a slow speed tumble in fresh pea gravel last year. The bike looks wonderful after my "rejuvination" but my eye was always drawn to the exhaust blemishes.

A couple of months ago on a lark, I sent an email to Staintune in Australia asking if they could produce an exhaust system for a 1993 !000S. I fully expected to be laughed out of town, but instead they said "we can do that!"

Not wanting to be the type of guy that just pulls people's chains, I swallowed hard and asked for the price. It was expensive, but not astronomical. Beside the 1000S deserves it!! :cheesy:

The transport from Australia was very efficient. I received. them in a week!

They are beautiful!!

I had heard the same thing somewhere, therefore was doubly pleasantly surprised that they were more than happy to make my system. I know that while mine was being constructed they were working on 2 Guzzi Daytona systems.

I know Sandy who owns Staintune and he's still making exhausts on request as far as I know.

I would assume so because I bought the complete system including the head pipes.

Post by: wirespokes on August 04, 2020, 09:30:02 AM: Ok, Dave - how much does a complete system cost?

I'm really happy they're still making exhaust systems. They're works of art!
