I appreciate the warm welcome, especially from my fellow Michiganders. I live in Kalamazoo. Winter hasn't been bad here and I've been able to get her out a few times through the winter without having to worry about the salt. I'd hate to have to admit how much time I spend on this site, and my wife hates how it equates into spending more money. I call it a hobby, she calls it an addiction. Regardless, she even admitted the exhaust needed to change. I had a tough decision between the JP 4.5" Pro Touring mufflers and the JP 4" Dyno Tuned mufflers.

Quote from Bowhunter61 Just got back from my first ride with the new Fuel Moto 4.5 Pro touring pipes, I like

I just hope I'm as happy with my choice.

Quote from lowrider56 Welcome from Ohio (football rivalry aside). It is a great forum. Ride safe.

No worries, I'm not a Wolverine. I'm a Pennsylvania transplant. Even with the recent events, my loyalty stays with Penn State. I realize it's not a whole lot better, but it is better, right???

Quote from Sefferdog I especially like all three weeks of summer!

This is what I love about this site!!

Again! Thanks for the warm welcome, I will try to contribute if I can, but truth be told I'm sponging off all the intelligent ones around here! So, I'm off to do some more stereo research.

Kalamazoo!!, if you ever get pulled over by a Statie it could be my brother, he's posted in Paw Paw

You'll like the 4" JP's, I was going back and forth also but decided to give the 4.5" Touring a try, I had 3.5" Jackpot Dyno-tuned baffles in my old pipes and loved them.

Hello from West Michigan near Muskegon. I read the forums often too and have learned a lot here. I ride about 10,000 Mich miles a season, but in the winter time my riding takes place in sunny Phoenix, which is where I am right now. The riding here is perfect and the roads in the area have no potholes or salt and I have not seen a deer yet.

No kidding! Small world. If he's out of the Paw Paw post, there's a real good chance we've been on some calls together. There's a good chance he's even pulled me over once......or twice!

Just north of you near Cooper...
I'm the vice president of the Cereal City Cyclists.
You'll love your new stage 1 - Fuel Moto is great to deal with.
I'll look for you out on the roads, if I see you at a bike night I'll buy you a cold one.
The 10th. St. Saloon in Plainwell on Tuesday's is a fun place to hang out, stop on by sometime :-)

Welcome From The North East Corner Of Mississippi.......
Hanging around is what got all of us here to begin with. More info and advice than you can shake a stick at. If you were not confused before you did some research on here you most certainly will be when you get through. It's only then will you make up your mind. All you have to do is holler and the stampede begins.
Congrats on your new "Accessory Platform"
