To keep the stocker exhaust or not, that is the question. There is no correct answer as either stock or other vendor can is perfectly acceptable. The stocker is quiet and there is something to be said for that. There is a definite weight savings in removing it, although the performance gain is negligible. My Area P is louder but then I wear earplugs and can't hear it for the most part. My advice for those that want to remove it is to keep it around and put it back on assuming you sell the bike at some later time. Sell the non-stocker separately. Mine is hanging around in my garage, not that I'm going to sell in the near future, but I might, who knows?
+1. Especially Tip #4. Some people actually LIKE to ride their motorcycle with an abhorrent 35 pound muffler. Nobody I have ever heard of but I'm sure there is one somewhere.
I probably weigh 35 lbs less than many who have removed theirs for the weight savings.
The most Charlie Brown post I've ever seen.
Hi Jim.
I probably weigh 35 lbs less than many who have removed theirs for the weight savings.
Maybe so but its WAY easier to loose 20 lbs of muffler than 20 lbs of fat. Probably cheaper too.
How is eating less more expensive?
Hi there. I to have purchased a red color 2014 to replace my 2009 red color Connie. I stated a long time ago. That I, liked the Connie so well. That I would purchase another. So, today I did. All the farkles from the 2009 Connie will transfer to the 2014. All except the front crash bars. In turn I, ordered a new set of front crash bars. So after they're installed. I will pick up the new bike, next week. Also I, splurged and purchased a set of PR4's and they will be installed. Thedealership owner. Actually credited me the difference for removing the BT-021's, since they were new. Paying the difference for the new PR4's. I have ordered a front fender extender and Pannier reflective decals. In turn I, will install those items myself. My 2014 in turn will be a mirror image of the 2009, but with the newer refinements. WOO, HOO, HOO!
