Slip-ons will get you the most bang for your buck if you are only looking to change the sound. Rush and Cycle Shack make some pretty inexpensive slip-ons. Rush offers baffle sizes ranging from 1 3/4" to 2 1/4". Not sure if anyone else offers this option. The smaller the diameter of the baffle, the "quieter" the muffler. They also offer black slip-ons and heat shields, which is a nice option. Those might be worth looking at.

Great, thanks!
Kevin, it doesn't look like you carry those Cycle Shack slip-ons? Going by price, those are a great deal. watched some youtube vids, sounds pretty good.

We allowed to post link here? Not sure what ones to buy (eg, amazon has them, but descriptions are not good)

If you really like the Cycle Shacks, check out http://denniskirk.com . Almost always the best price, and if not, they'll match it. Their shipping is always fast too!

There's a few other things you can do that are cheap/free.

Remove the reflectors off the forks
Remove the upper and/or lower belt guards
Remove pulley cover
Move your front signals to the lower tree

if you buy a battery tender to keep the battery charged during the winter, it come with an extra pigtail. then you can add an inline fuse to it and not have to buy one...since it comes with the tender...win/win...extra pigtail and a charger
