I'm ordering a pro street tuner and Smart auto tuner to go with the Stage III kit. I'm pondering my exhaust situation. I was thinking of:
1) Modifying the stock exhaust by removing the baffles and installing some DK Custom TTIs. Cheap, possibly too loud. No going back.
2) Order some Street Cannons - (Short or long?) Maintains warranty. Low pitch, not too loud.
3) Rinehart 3.5" slip ons. Seem pretty popular - possible warranty issue.
My question is do my stock slip ons have an resale value if I buy the street cannons or Rineharts? Can I retrieve some of the expense by selling them? What might they be worth?

If I didn't have a chin strap, my helmet wouldn't make the entire trip.
I used a Clearview vented windshield on my last bike for many years and loved it. They come 3" wider too for a bit of hand protection. It was 50* when I left my house at 6am for a 45 minute ride to work. The first 35 were great.

Oh... because if it was buffeting - the issue seems to manifest mostly due to the air come up from underneath and around the tank. The most common - and seemingly most effective - solution to this are the 'fangs' (fork wind deflectors).

Everything but Canons will screw up the warranty....
They sound ok.....

If you read some theory on this, you might realize that an exhaust system - and it's design - is more complex that it appears. Given that, the idea of hacking/modifying Willie-Nillie might not seem like such a good idea. TTI's can have positive effects by damping reversion, but they're not be all/fix all magic lollipops.
Depends. But I wouldn't expect much.

But obviously, he's not concerned with the "W" word.

I ordered a set of black ones this morning, thinking it would help deflect wind from my legs. I did not think about the updraft from the tank. I noticed that on this afternoons ride home from work. Glad they will also help with that. I need to stop reading this thread. Its costing me a small fortune!

I was going by Laidlaw Jamie's comments starting at 6:30 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLXX6XVAeOs&t=249s where he says he feels "this is the best tuning system available right now". I like the idea that is optimizes tuning conditions on the fly depending on components, altitude, load conditions etc.
But obviously, he's not concerned with the "W" word.

Is it better because of it? Dunno. I’m happy, the bike flys, it was a one time sunk cost, my tech recommended it, and life is good.

The tech at my dealership really likes the FP3 and TTS, but cautioned me about the you know what. He said the issue with just the pro street tuner is the narrow band it can handle. Maybe the Smart Tune Pro, with the wide band O2 sensors, make up for that.
