Gotta know how you like the sound of your "new bike"!

Just finished installing it. Took me a little over 4 hours (yes I know a long time) but I can say it doesn't even sound like the same bike. Took the baffles before starting the bike and I already know they won't be going back in. They smoked a little bit at first but it's all clear. Best mod so far

Yep, a whole different ride!! Folks will hear you better in traffic too.
I have a stereo and an MP3 player in my 590 GPS (hardwired into the helmet) but often ride with them OFF as the engine just purrs and sounds sooo good..

You won't refret it! It has a nice deep growl to it that is truly music. I will see about uploading a video

I'd personally loose the stickers, looks much cleaner without em, but sounds great!
You'll find in most cases, if stuck behind a texter or someone NOT paying attention,(at a light, stop sign, etc) a rev to maybe 3k will get them moving.
Very rare I use the Steble, short of someone "wanting to share my lane" and then I accelerate or slow as need be, (they keep changing lanes ANYWAY)..

[MENTION=27781]Eagletalon[/MENTION], yeah that actually _was_ motivational! Got 'em in! Man you are right, they sound sweet. Here is the part where all of you with LeoVince/2Bros/Akro/Scorps/etc think 'yeah dummy no kidding!' I thought I'd be just fine as-is with stock, but this is indeed so much nicer - as someone else recently said, on short trips they don't play music so they can listen to the sound. I totally get it now. The burble/backpressure noise when backing off/coming up to a stoplight is just wonderful. They went on fine, but struggled with the Givi top/side rails (hard-cases/monokey). Got it to work, took a little convincing, but the result is lovely - quite pleased. Thanks to you and [MENTION=6338]TownsendsFJR1300[/MENTION] for the push.
