I'll take more pics. I've been gone since this post... Yes the stock backplate is a fit. Just get the filter and a front plate.

They have nice looking mufflers.

I took the bike out for a short ride and I can definitely feel a performance increase. As others had said it seems to waken up the motor. I guess that's somewhat expected when you do a Stage 1. The sound was great, and the rumble when you let off the the throttle is definitely cool. Can't wait to ride some more.

Thanks for the pics, wash your bike
Exhaust looks nice, I like the idea you can adjust the sound with different baffles. It's not small but looks proportional because the head pipes are fat too.

Great looking bike., Consider taking that rear seat off and make it look even better!

Just a final check in on the Rineharts and the SE tuner. I had a chance to the bike a few hundred miles after the dealer installed the slip-ons and tuned the bike. The bike runs great, definitely a performance upgrade. Bike seems to pull so much harder. the Rineharts are nice, they definitely are louder and do have a low base hum when crusing. For me it was worth having the dealer install both during the 1000 moole service. Paid a little more, but no headache at all, and I'm confident they did it right. The bike now pulls and sounds like a train.
