Not that I've heard in 10 years +.
They don't even have a fitment for the Valk.
You would have to design and fabricate a whole new system to get those puppies to work and to keep them from coming up way short of your rear axle.
A lot of expense & trouble I would presume.
I'm not one to shun an idea. So if you've got the time, money & resources go for it and please post up your results & methods. We like to see new ideas & successes as you know.
Too bad they can't control your fuel mixture too when you switch back and forth at the touch of a button.

BTW Dag, Your not going to give up your Vikings for those are you?

No, I`ll never give up my Vikings...  Have you ever seen or heard anything better than Vikings?

A friend of mine have a blown valk with thunderpipes and the "hard" sound makes him crazy.
He is looking for somthing that is more silent.

The idea is very interesting.  However, I question two things.

The first, air flow, has been mentioned.  Changing the back pressure from the pipes almost always requires re-jetting the carbs.

The second is reliability over time.  How long will the bearing in the diverter valve operate with exhaust gas carbon and heat passing by it all the time?
