Good idea. This will be a fun poll. Thanks for starting it.

My bike runs like a top and is way cooler too. Yes, it still runs around 220 andup tp 240in traffic but I feel this is acceptable. I don't know how hot it was before the mods because I installed the oil temp guage last. I know, not very smart. I also run Amsoil which helps the heat too.

street,

I'm stock... thinking of going stage 1. Why are you going back??
I'm trying to cut out some of the shake and vibration. Anytime you change from stock pipes you will notice a slight increase in vibes.
That makes no sense to me.

Ok, here's what's going on: Recently mySG has been shaking more than usual and the seat, floorboards and highway pegs have developed a buzz that was never there before.Since my accident last year (plates and screws in my pelvis) my body has been more sensitve to vibes.
Also I have just discovered that the baffle in the right SE slipon is loose. Don't know if this is contibuting to the problem but I would guess that it is.The bike is currently in the shop for a tune and if possible to repair the baffle. If it can't be repaired I am thinking of returning it to stock.
Another possible contributing factor is the new style motor mount that was just installed a month ago. Harder rubber, definatly a difference over the original.
When my SG is sick I feel it's pain! lol!
Well there you have it, hope it makes a little sense.
