Well after submitting my claim for a replacement of the OEM exhaust in November ’09 I have given up waiting for a replacement. So have JSG (importers) who are offering people the stage one exhaust upgrade instead.
I’ve been resisting as I’ve always though I would want panniers. But after a few trips now I seem good with just my Andy Strapz A bag and I could always put on a top box if I had to.
I also didn’t want the highset exhaust in case my partner would burn her leg. But she rides her own and only ever gets on the back for 5min around town when we are taking bikes to mechanics etc.
I was worried about the airbox removal and no air filters. I know most people have added pod filters to the trumpets but apparently JSG is recommending keeping the airbox set up and saying it runs fine with the ECU upgrade that comes with the bike! One would guess that there would be some fueling difference between an airbox and open trumpets, guess not.
So that addresses most of my concerns, except for my neighbours hating me :lol: but I’m told it’s not stupid loud but still a touch concerned about being pinged for a loud bike by the police or if it has “not legal for street use” stamped all over it.
But I do love how it looks and I would like a bit more noise.
Think I should go for it?
