I have had both, currently have ss race. Good pipe no cracks and the best bit being it doesnt rust. I beleive they have stoped polishing them now as it was to time consuming which is a shame.

Thanx Syd,
do you notice any additional heat with the stainless steel?
i was told the fran race wasnt made in stainless only mild steel and if you were wanting SS the only one made was the super tourer!!!
any truth in that?
thanx

Another thing Andy is one of the best deales out there. He backs his products and as such gets repeat business. I know pipes that have been out of warrenty that he has replaced.
He matches the service of scootercentre which is saying something in my book
