True duals. And, of course, the host of other upgrades that goes with it....PCIII, SE air cleaner, you know the drill. Once you ride one with true duals, you will wonder why they don't build them that way....



nogood o~`o
Damn...and to think this wasto be the bike I was gonna leave alone...

Yeah right...who was I kidding.

"Nah Honey, its already got everything on it... Seriously this is not gonna be like the last one, I promise... Oh I might do some pipes but those are cheap.... Nah I even told the boys! Its gonna stay nice and stock...."

"Ummmmmmm.... Honey?..... remember those pipes? well to get the bike running right I need to do this download thingy.... and I may as well get that aircleaner too.... And the stock seat needs some serious help.... Not to mention the bars, may as well wire them internally while im swapping them...."

Now that's funny...'cause it's a little bit true for all of us.

But in all seriousness...my wife holds no guilt trip over how I spend on my toys.

[wifey] "so, how much was this oil change"? [wifey]

[Lars] "oh, about $800.00...while I had it in, I went ahead and had {insert upgrade or mod here} done...'cause it's cheaper to do it now.....[Lars]

I figure, pick up a pack of chicken, cook it on your seat, while you are in the next traffic jam, stop an eat. Alway work the issue to your benefit. No more fried thighs, how about harley fried thighs

What most everyone else said; True Duals, some type of fuel managment PCIII, SERT, etc, Stage 1 AC and heat shields. If it really gets hot pull over have a cold one and watch the traffic

I agree with wnogood go with true duals the sound is GREAT also.I guess I don't care for the fried thighs fix as it seems to retain to much heat around rear cylinder and on my bike I would rather baby the motor by not restricting any way the heat can flow out.....just my .02
