If you don't have one, you may want to consider one...and soon, because with the lowering there is a certainty that your rear chain is going to eat through your primary at the starter mount.
I bet those pipes are LOUD!
Have you been able to tune the engine to run well with them on there?

better yet -- hes got a belt drive - i wonder if its got a clutch tamer - belt drives always have clutch shell walk-- makes a grabby clutch without it..
