Did you get a look at the Micron GP style slip ons? They are the best sound and looks for the money I think. I have the larger version on my bike and love the sound. Someday a full system will maybe replace it but it suits me just fine for the price. BTW Race fit was my second choice... With the black frame the powder coated black makes for a nice match.

I haven't really looked around but I will probably spend some looking at other makes. One thing that I really like is the low tip, angled exhaust. Has made me a huge fan of low exhausts versus the more traditional high pipe.

I'd spend the money however it makes me happiest, which is exactly what you should do. I"m actually going the opposite of many people and putting a stock exhaust back on my Hurricane.

can u just gut the stock one? that would get u some sound, and it already looks gd....save ya some cash.
on the other hand, just buy what looks/sounds the best to YOU. youtube is your friend. no1 gets a slip-on for power, thats retarded.

Total truth! btw back in the "old days" to gain hp in one area you had to take it from somewhere else. That is no longer exactly true. With fi the computer will compensate with more fuel if you increase the flow of air in the system. Of course,without a closed loop system it's not always perfect but that's why they make power commanders.

Well,for sound Two Bros is nuts! I put one on a buddy's bike a few months ago and DAMN!!! I love the looks of the Taylor Made and all of their stuff is top drawer but,um no mention of Akrapovic?
Asfar as there being "other" accessories you could buy for your bike.... Well,sure there is but you have to start somewhere! I almost always get an exhaust for a new bike. Heck,some of my bikes never made it out of the dealership with stock! At the end of the day you have form vs function... which do you care most about? Besides,doesn't your bike come with adjustable foot pegs? One of the best stock suspensions money can buy? Some seriously light wheels? Etc. We've all had plenty of "track day" arguments here but maybe the kid doesn't want to risk getting taken out on turn 3 by some dipshit and would rather have a cool sounding exhaust. I agree that for $700 Racetech would hook you the fuck up! but wait,how tall and heavy is Quick? If he falls in the magic zone (and the more experienced guys know what I mean),the stock suspension may be perfect for him! I don't know this guy personally,maybe he's not trying to blast thru the mountains of Colo or the tail of the Dragon. Maybe,he's not trying to be the next Nicky Hayden at the track. Maybe the guy just wants a cool looking and sounding bike to cruise the strip,pick up chicks,hang with his buds and rack up a few twisty mile every once in a while,ya know? |
