Congratulations, You will not be sorry. What ever you decide I would suggest some type of true duals. That is probably the biggest mistake I think I have made. I love the sound of the SE, but man I am really liken the looks and the sound of true duals. I am researching, listening, & watching. Maybe this winter or next year.

I second the Reinhart True Duals. Mine are just right in sound, allows a nice hp increase with tuning and look great. You won't be sorry. ............ BC

Picked it up Saturday. Black Pearl RK.
The exhaust has got to go. I want the sound when you crack it but don't want to go deaf on the hiway. Also, the wife complains about the heat. Probably need to go to true duals to get rid of the crossover. Also need to help in air intake and probably rejet the carb. ( I know, some of us are never satisfied)

Congrats on the new Scoot!!!

Regarding exhaust..... D&D FatCAT!!!!

Scan a couple of the current threads and read what some of the folks that have recently installed them think. If your stuck on the "baggers gotta have two pipes" thing, get a "falsie" with it!

You won't find one that performs, sounds, looks, or is made better......
