Shitty this is, I'm currently saving for a wedding... The fiance wasn't too happy when I came rolling up on this thing, but all it took was one ride and it totally changed her perspective... She's all planning mods and stuff... Its cute. And, I have a mustang that I'm still modding... I'd rather put money into the stang right now... But I do have some python 3 slip ons on order already... Things too quiet stock... I think next I'll pop in some cams...
Which cam is recommended for stock springs and stock tune to get a nasty sound? nasty as in good...

That was my first thought, but then I wondered about the legality of it... And then I was thinking "what's the harm in being better seen? So, imm wait and see what happens there...

BTW, your bike looks mean, and your SIG pic is beyond bad ***... You got any walk around videos on the interweb of your bike?

Sweet and welcome to the "break the bank forums"! If your like me you won't want to spend 12$ on a garden tool but 150$ on the bike will not be a problem! lol You have the slips coming, and your thinking about cams. Cams usually means lots of extra power, you will need to open the air cleaner up and a tuner to complete the recipe, so (and this is going to be tough) wait until you have the resource to do it right the first time therefor saving you some coin in the long run. So my advice to you is add the sound but ride it like that until you know a lot more about what you want, enjoy it, it's a beautiful bike As Is.!

I have a new intake in mind...
I'm going off my knowledge of cars here... With my stang, I can get frpp hotrod cams, run stock springs and all and it improves the sound more than anything, no tune needed...

And, for my car I can get a tuner with lifetime email tunes and support... Are email tuning companies out there for us? Are they worth a damn?
