how do you like the exhaust add-on? How is the sound? Re the rear seat cowl does it give you more storage from a practical standpoint to be worth it - besides the benefit of looking more aggressive?

For the exhaust, I notice a decent improvement in performance, just feels much smoother climbing the rpms and it really opens up from 7000rpms-10000rpms, and more importantly the sound; I think it sounds awesome, but I like it loud. Also weighs a lot less then the stock exhaust.

The Seat Cowl, it increases the capacity a little bit; its completely hollow, the packaging says it increases the capacity to 4litres, Im a bit skeptical of that tho, looks like you could fit a can of Coke in there maybe lol. I bought it purely for cosmetic reasons.

I like what u've done, looking sharp!

Is that a full system or slip on?

I can fit a can of chain lube in my rear cowl

I have also fitted in the cowl ALONE, a pair of winter gloves, neck warmer and half a roll of toilet paper

Slip-On

I figure its much easier to install a slip on and its cheaper, and the end result should be pretty much the same I think (other then a very slight weight difference and a shiny pipe.).

I am leaning towards a slip-on too because I highly doubt the header will add much, if any, hp/torque for another $220USD.

How do you like the Tyga rear-sets?

I would think if you paired them with a set of their clip-ons you would notice the ergonomics difference slightly more, which, IMO, would be a welcome change.

Have you had any changes in brake response since installing the rear sets?

I bought mine from ebay, since they werent available in Australia at the time of purchase.

I like the rear sets, slightly up and back a few centimeters, not huge difference but its noticeable.

Yes quite a big change, its way more sensitive now, have to be careful not to push to hard, they will lock much easier. Just takes getting used to.
