DA 85. If you have a 100 twin on the brain, why didn't you just go with the 35% 260? It is designed around the 100, whereas the 33% is not.
The 33% 260 is too small for the 100 and it will increase the wing loading. It would only make it worse to add cannisters. It would also likely end up EXTREMELY nose heavy.
Botton line: my vote - stick with the 85, or if you insist on a 100 use stock mufflers to save weight. If you insist on adding cannisters, then get the 35% 260.
