hey fatty, what mods have u done so far to your bike?

None Yet, but my jetting kit is here so this weekend i believe will be the day. I am also going to open up the airbox. My next step is either the GPR Stabilizer or a pipe. Depends on the finances. I guess they are both about the same. I want the T-4 Pipe. I am so glad I'm in Utah. I feel sorry for the cali dudes. (and gals)

Pull the baffle out and modify, use the money for suspension or damper.

Pipe makes very little difference.

Fatty, listen to AS and others. The pipe should be the VERY last item you spend your money on. After you make the jetting and airbox mods, you will be amazed. Next you can modify the stock pipe by pulling the baffle and removing the first two rings, or leave it out all together. It is a little louder, but still at or below 96db. Keep your baffle handy for sound sensitive areas.

If you still need more go, then look at the Hotcam stage 2. It is the best bang for the buck. Study the performance curves of the aftermarket pipes and you will see that they don't actually offer all that much. Study the Hotcams performance curves and ask owners here about them.

Personally I think you should spend that T-4 money on having your suspension done for your weight. The gain in handling and confidence will make you a lot faster than any pipe can!.

Next would be a steering stabilizer, especially if you ride in sand a lot, over rocks, etc.

If, after all of the above, you still feel the need for the pipe, then go for it.

Thanks A.S and Jaws,
A few years back I would have just done what I wanted to and not listened to my elders. But now being and elder myself, I will take the place of the padowan learner and take your advice. Steering stabilizer it is.
I can't imagine both of you being wrong, especially A.S. him being so smart and all.

Thanks guys photos to come.
