Can lower some heat issues. Some individuals just like the looks. And they do lower torque, but that is on the dyno. Not sure that your seat could tell the difference. I have true duals, was not concerned with the torque loss. But thats what is great about the scoot and riders. INDIVIDUALITY

Looks and sound seem to be the common theme.

You won't lose enough torque to even feel!!! The over all torque will increase if you do a proper Stage 1 upgrade thetorque willcome on just a little bit later.
People make way to big a deal out of this TRU DUAL thing.
If you are just a rider like 98% of us just put on what you like.

Less heat on right side for my baby, less heat off rear cylinder for my buddies, looks great, andsound, nothing gets that ole Harley sound like true duals. Torque loss isn't noticeable unless you are a dyno machine.
