Slip on arrived today...

Yep...I hate you!    cheeky  

I've been battling the idea of changing my exhaust for a while...I finally made the big boy decision to not do it (until I bin it)...now my mental-gremlins are back!   Evil  My retirement pay is not going to keep up with my hobbies!

Are you gonna go with a slip on or full system?   Evil

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

It would be rude to not go with the full Akro system.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

For his bike & purposes, yes.  What he should do is buy the HP4 full exhaust kit with ECU.  waytogo  Evil

Just spin that thing up once or twice, it'll all be fine.   Evil

You guys aren't helping at all!  I finally got the ArmourBodies superbike fairings painted and installed (minus the race belly pan).  The bike is finally a track dedicated machine.  While I don't need the extra power, I'll likely buy the full akra system so I can fit the beautifully painted belly pan that I now have sitting in storage!

Let us know how the fuel / ignition management mods get handled.

I've been told multiple times that the ECU is programed to adjust/recalibrate the A/F ratio.  If that doesn't work, I'll go the PC/Auto tune route.  I'll let  you know when I pull the trigger on the exhaust.

That's looking real good Gene! Now you just need a fender eliminator ( which is what I'm supposed to do on mine this coming weekend  Grin )
