Not my wife, but my trusty XJR.
Since all the love over the past 6-12 months has been directed at Kazzas fizzer and my Speed 3, my trusty "armchair" had been neglected and was crying out for something to be done.
I said I'd never get a pipe for this bike, but with the "loudness" of the other 2 bikes, I just had to. I've fitted a Beowulf S/S stubby can with DB killer removed and wow, what a difference. A lot more mid range and top end. Bottom end pretty much the same. The can cost around AU$383 delivered to Aus from UK. They make them for fizzers too.
I also put a set of Rizoma handlebars on. After Kazza put them on her fizzer, and going for a ride on it, I found it a lot more controllable and comfortable. Perfect for the XJR. Fitted Rizoma bar ends at the same time.
Ridden the XJR a few times now and the difference is amazing. Feels like a different bike as the bend of the stock bars was quite deep, as shown in the pics. They are a little wider also, which gives a better feel. My riding position now is a little more aggressive. Bit less of an "armchair" now, LOL
