GHO1703TOM has a titanium silencer. This one is stainless steel, electro-coloured black.

There is nothing to chip and nothing to burn off, which is why it is used on parts that get hot and then get rained on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a deep black that keeps a metallic depth to it in daylight, distinguishable from a ceramic coating if you look closely and not at all from three metres away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSame Weight, Different Metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpark gives 2,5 kg for this article, the same figure as the titanium version. Stainless steel is denser than titanium, so the number tells you Spark has built the two silencers to different wall thicknesses or slightly different volumes to land in the same place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat matters for the buyer is that neither choice costs weight. Three kilos come off the motorcycle either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Case for the Steel One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTitanium marks. It scuffs when a boot catches it, it discolours unevenly if a pannier rail rubs, and on an adventure bike that gets used, it will do both eventually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA black stainless silencer takes that kind of life better, and when it does get marked the mark is less obvious. On a machine bought for gravel rather than for a garage, that is a real argument and not a matter of taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe silencer, the stainless link pipe and the mechanical valve device. No heat shield — the motorcycle keeps its own — and no end cap to choose, because the outlet is welded rather than bolted. It is a short parts list for an article at this price, and everything in it is needed to put the bike back together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eValve and Heat Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are as on the titanium article: the standard guard stays on the bike, and the mechanical device that comes in the box removes the exhaust valve found on model years up to 2023 without the ECU noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonda CRF1100L Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports, 2020 to 2026.
