Whether you’re restoring a classic adventure bike, upgrading for improved performance, or simply replacing a worn-out OEM can, our exhaust for the Africa Twin offers the perfect balance of form, function, and value. Designed specifically for models produced between 1990 and 2003, this product is built to complement one of motorcycling’s most enduring legends.

Why the Honda XRV750 Africa Twin 90′ – 03′ Deserves a Quality Exhaust

The Honda XRV750 Africa Twin occupies a special place in motorcycling history. Launched in 1990 and produced through to 2003, this machine became synonymous with bulletproof reliability, genuine off-road capability, and long-distance touring prowess. Powered by a characterful 742cc parallel-twin engine derived from Honda’s legendary Dakar race bikes, the Africa Twin has found favour with adventure riders, overlanders, and classic enthusiasts around the world.

As these bikes mature, maintaining them with quality components becomes essential — particularly when it comes to the exhaust system, which endures constant heat, vibration, and exposure to the elements. That’s precisely why we’ve developed this robust, bolt-on replacement silencer tailored specifically for the honda xrv750 africa twin 90′ – 03′.

Riders who’ve owned an Africa Twin will know that the OEM exhaust, while functional, can deteriorate over time. Corrosion, dents, and mounting bracket failures are common issues on bikes that have seen serious use or winter riding. Our replacement exhaust addresses these concerns head-on, offering superior materials, improved longevity, and a noticeably enhanced exhaust note that brings out the best in the V-twin’s distinctive character.

What’s Included With Your Honda XRV750 Africa Twin 90′ – 03′ Performance Exhaust

Transparency matters when you’re investing in motorcycle parts, so we want you to know exactly what you’re getting when you order this exhaust for the honda xrv750 africa twin 90′ – 03′. Every kit is supplied complete with the essential components required for a secure, professional-standard installation:

  • 1 x Stainless T304 Link Pipe — manufactured from premium-grade T304 stainless steel, renowned for outstanding corrosion resistance and heat tolerance
  • 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — a robust mounting strap designed to secure the silencer firmly to the bike’s subframe without flexing or failing
  • 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — a high-quality rubber mount that absorbs vibration, reduces noise transfer, and protects adjacent components from wear

The link pipe is engineered to mate directly with the standard OEM downpipes fitted to the honda xrv750 africa twin 90′ – 03′, which means you won’t need any modifications, cutting, or welding. It’s a true bolt-on replacement — straightforward enough for competent home mechanics, yet built to professional standards that guarantee reliability mile after mile.

Premium T304 Stainless Steel Construction for Long-Term Durability

Material choice is absolutely critical when it comes to motorcycle exhausts, especially for a bike like the Africa Twin that’s often used year-round and in all conditions. T304 stainless steel is widely recognised as the gold standard for aftermarket exhausts in the UK market. Unlike mild steel or lower-grade stainless alternatives, T304 offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, heat cycling, and chemical attack from road salt and moisture.

For riders who venture off the beaten track or use their honda xrv750 africa twin 90′ – 03′ through British winters, this material choice translates directly into extended service life and maintained appearance.

The polished finish not only looks the part but also resists staining and tarnishing far better than cheaper materials. Where budget exhausts begin to show surface rust, pitting, and discolouration within months, our T304 construction retains its integrity and smart appearance season after season. It’s a genuine investment in quality that pays dividends over the lifetime of your bike.

Performance, Sound, and Fitment Notes for the Honda XRV750 Africa Twin 90′ – 03′

Beyond durability and aesthetics, riders consistently report a noticeable improvement in exhaust tone when fitting a quality aftermarket silencer to the honda xrv750 africa twin 90′ – 03′. The Africa Twin’s parallel-twin motor produces a deep, purposeful note that a well-designed exhaust can genuinely enhance. Our silencer is tuned to complement the engine’s torque curve and power delivery, delivering a satisfying sound that adds character without becoming antisocial or intrusive.

Whether you’re commuting through town, embarking on a multi-day tour, or exploring green lanes at the weekend, this exhaust strikes the ideal balance between presence and refinement.

Installation is refreshingly straightforward thanks to the direct-fit design. The link pipe connects seamlessly to your existing OEM downpipes using the standard mounting points, so there’s no fabrication or guesswork involved. Here are a few practical tips to ensure a smooth installation process:

  • Always allow the engine to cool completely before starting work — hot exhausts can cause serious burns and make handling components difficult
  • Clean the downpipe connection area thoroughly, removing old gasket material, carbon deposits, and any surface rust to ensure a proper seal
  • Hand-tighten all bolts and clamps first, then torque them to the manufacturer’s specification once everything is correctly aligned
  • Re-check all fixings after your first ride — exhaust components can settle slightly after the initial heat cycle
  • Apply copper grease or anti-seize compound to all threaded connections to prevent corrosion and ease future maintenance

If you’re uncertain about any aspect of the installation, we always recommend consulting a qualified motorcycle technician. Proper fitment is essential not just for performance, but for your safety and the safety of others on the road.

The CRF1000L is a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) 270° crank, parallel-twin dual-sport that revived the Africa Twin name for the 2016 model year. It became available in the UK in late 2015 and early 2016 in the US. It was developed as a modern interpretation of its predecessors, the XRV 750 and XRV 650, based on the NXR-750 which won the Paris-Dakar rally four times in the late 1980s. The original V-twin Africa Twin was first sold in Europe from 1988 to the final production year of 2003 but was never brought to the United States. The CRF1000L has also been seen as a response by Honda to the heavier on road-focused adventure touring motorcycles such as the BMW R1200GS, Ducati Multistrada, and Triumph Tiger Explorer with a lighter more off-road focused machine.

Automatic dual-clutch transmission

At the Osaka Motor Show in 2015
In a first for the category, the Africa Twin has the option of an evolution of Honda’s automatic dual-clutch transmission (DCT) technology, which remains unique to Honda in motorcycling. This latest evolution of DCT has been specifically developed and programmed to provide off-road ability.

Prototype

Also at Osaka
The first confirmations of a new off-road-focused touring motorcycle came in June 2014 when Honda filed a patent for an externally mounted airbox configuration which would allow for a more slender and lower mounted fuel tank in the future dual-sport motorcycles.[7] This increases off-road handling by allowing riders to slide further forward into turns without being inhibited by a wide fuel tank with a higher center of gravity.

The first full prototype of the CRF1000 was revealed at the 2014 EICMA international motorcycle show in Milan, Italy. The prototype was heavily disguised with camouflage and covered in mud so that it did not reveal any specific details about the new motorcycle other than visual details such as a parallel twin engine, dual front disc brakes with ABS, 21-inch front and 18 inch rear tires on spoked wire rims, and the absence of a shift lever, indicating the dual-clutch transmission from other Honda motorcycles such as the VFR1200X and NC700X/NC750X could be an available option.

After the EICMA reveal, Honda began releasing a series of videos titled “True Adventure” documenting the history of the Paris-Dakar rally-winning Africa Twins in the 1980s in anticipation of the release of the new true adventure
