That has a consequence worth stating: the Racing Line the bracket is named for, S-S8R1-EEC, does not appear in the price list this shop buys from, which carries a different Racing Line for the same machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium muffler bracket for the Suzuki GSX-8S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeded once the passenger footpegs are removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNamed for the Racing Line (Carbon) S-S8R1-EEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat system is not in the current list — confirm compatibility first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the GSX-8S from 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConfirm Before Ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic writes its accessory descriptions against its full catalogue, and part numbers move on. The bracket may well suit the current Racing Line for this motorcycle; nobody should assume it without asking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single question to the distributor, quoting the silencer's part number and this bracket's, settles it. That is a better use of five minutes than a return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Problem It Solves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuzuki hangs the GSX-8S silencer from the passenger footpeg mount, the way most manufacturers do. Take the pegs off for track use — as club regulations require — and the exhaust loses its rear support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracket replaces that support with a part that carries only the silencer. It is the same problem Akrapovic solves on the R7, the ZX-10R and several others, and the same answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA New Middleweight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuzuki launched the GSX-8S in 2022 around a new 776 cc parallel twin, and it has become a common choice for riders wanting a naked bike without litre-class running costs. The aftermarket is still filling in around it, which is why the accessory list is short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMachined From Solid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bracket carrying a silencer takes its load at one end and reacts it at the other, which is a demanding shape to cast well. Machining it from billet costs more per part and produces a piece whose grain runs the way the load does, with no porosity to find out about later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAus dem Vollen gefräst\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEin Halter, der einen Dämpfer trägt, nimmt seine Last an einem Ende auf und leitet sie am anderen ab — eine Form, die sich nur schwer sauber gießen lässt. Aus dem Vollen zu fräsen kostet je Teil mehr und ergibt ein Stück, dessen Faserverlauf der Last folgt, ohne Lunker, die man erst später bemerkt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined aluminium rather than carbon. On a bracket that will be inspected after a fall and possibly replaced more than once, metal is the practical material — it deforms visibly rather than failing invisibly, and it costs less to keep a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Published Weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic gives no figure for this bracket and none is estimated here. For comparison the company quotes 140 grams for the equivalent R7 part against a 670 gram standard mount — a different motorcycle, offered only as a sense of the scale involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptional, Not Standard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA GSX-8S with its pillion pegs fitted does not need this bracket. The exhaust mounts to the factory hanger. This is a part for one specific configuration and it should be bought only when that configuration applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot applicable. A mounting bracket carries no emissions or noise approval, and the Racing Line it serves is a track system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: P-X341\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831126433833\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: Suzuki GSX-8S, 2022 to 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: muffler bracket, aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNamed for: Racing Line (Carbon) S-S8R1-EEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: that system is not in the current price list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeded when: the passenger footpegs are removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: none applies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53631023808778,"sku":"P-X341","price":57.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/P-X341.png?v=1790345929","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-jo\/products\/akrapovic-muffler-bracket-aluminium-suzuki-gsx-8s-p-x341","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
