Hello. Bought my first vrod. Love it but am loozing for some advice on enhancements
First- the exhaust burns extremely hot so I plan on putting a new ceramic exhaust to reduce heat as much as possible. I don't want loud pipes but a nice rumble. Any suggestions on a fix or replacement pipes/muffler. The heat is almost unbearable and sound of stock poo iles is more like a Suzuki than harley
Second, the seat is nice but uncomfortable after about 70 miles. Suggestions on an upgrade. My riding is primarily solo but wouldn't mind an option that allows for a comfortable passenger pillion.
Third. Are there any highway pegs that allow me to stretch legs without engine guards.
I'm looking to preserve the lines.
I'm a new member and appreciate any advice/suggestions for reasonable price upgrades.
As for seats, check out Corbin. They make a great product and have Vrod options. As for the pegs, I have only ever seen highway pegs on bikes that have had the mid control conversion.
