Been lurking for a couple days, bought my 08 Connie about a month ago with a little over 5k miles on it.
1st thing I'm looking to buy are Canyon Cages dont know after that.

Welcome. Well, there is certainly no shortage of stuff to buy. Start searching the threads and be overwhelmed :)

Way too much, actually, to choose from... Makes my head swim, it does.

Be careful, you are sounding like Yoda, there...

Thanks, already searching the threads but not really into modding any more (did that with previous bikes) I like the C-14 the way it is.
Bike seems a little anemic in the lower RPM's but picks up after 6k, feels like the Honda Blackbird I use to own but handles & brakes a lot better.

Long thread but it will cure the low and mid torque issues. I already had the secondary butterflies out before this was available.

Shoulda bought a twin or triple for low RPM power. ;D
Since I hit redline way too easy on the Concours and that puts me at illegal speeds in a few seconds, I don't think I need additional power. Sure, it doesn't pull on my wrists like my Mean Streak, but it gets there real fast.

What did you have? Ducati?, SV1000?, Triumph?, Super Tenere?, just wondering why twins aren't your thing, but you are looking for more low end torque which obviously can't be found in an I-4 engine.

A twin is only half an engine :)

Never said I was looking for more low end power. I've had V, parallel & boxer twins but always liked I-4 the most.A twin is only half an engine :)
I agree :D

Sorry, I thought that statement meant you were looking for more low end power. I guess you were just venting. ;)

Not really venting, more like an observation. I'm not sure if I would want to do an ECU flash because where I live we have to emission out bikes every year, I read motorcycle emission testing might be going away this year.

I am not so sure that the ECU flash would negatively affect emissions enough to matter.
