According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=195 this thread] (advrider.com), 2001 - 2004 GSXR1000 mufflers are a relatively easy add-on.
	<blockquote>Not quite a direct bolt-on but close. I got two 15° bend stainless steel tubes from Burns Stainless and rotated them until I got the right angle. Then I made the flange to bolt on the muffler. I attached the muffler and then tacked the flange and the two sections in place. I'm not a welder so you won't see a close-up shot. I originally had a GSXR1000 muffler on because it was titanium. But when I put the bags and mounts on, the muffler was too big and in the way. So I swapped it out for a 750 or 600 unit, shorter but not titanium. Fortunately, it weighs the same due to the shorter length.</blockquote>		<blockquote>Not quite a direct bolt-on but close.

			===Petcock Diaphragm===
			The petcock diaphragm develops a leak and cuts off fuel to the engine. This is a common problem. K&L sells a diaphragm repair kit. It's available [http://www.amotostuff.com/thestore/prods/18-2701.html here] and other places as well (presumably the K&L part number is 18-2701).

			Also note that the vacuum line running from the cylinder head to the petcock diaphragm (vacuum side) can develop a leak, leading to backfiring.

			====Fuel Pump====
			The Africa Twin tank needs a fuel pump in order to pump the last few gallons.

			=====Stock Africa Twin=====
			The Africa Twin's OEM fuel pump is electric, and it's prone to failure due to internal electrical contacts which arc and destroy themselves. The pump itself can be hardwired and controlled by an external relay, which prevents the arcing problem.

			=====Substitute Pumps=====
			Many people run vacuum-operated fuel pumps.

			Another alternative is an electric fuel pump from Spruce Aircraft and Supply.

	The Africa Twin has an aluminum swingarm which is is longer than the steel Transalp swingarm. It can be fitting with relatively few problems. Notably, the drum brake stopper has to be ground to fit the Africa Twin swingarm (assuming an Africa Twin disc rear wheel hasn't been used as well), and a 124 link chain is needed.
