Tail End Cleanup Stg 2

[Grumpy Goat]

... Stage 2 is swapping out the huge muffler for a Remus Black Hawk (done for aesthetics I know there is no power gain).
...
Stage 3 will be cleaning up the licence plate bracket. I'll post that after I get the new bracket made up.

Remus USA actually claims a "performance and torque increase" while producing no dyno charts. However this is borne out by dyno testing done by others on (for example the Hexacone which I have). The increase is maybe 1% so for all intents and purposes there is no usable power / torque gain.

In my experience, with a freer flowing air filter, it does 2 things - breathes freer and sucks slightly more gas, as more fuel is needed to maintain the proper stoichiometric ratio. But there is no doubt that the riding experience is better.

The part that has me really interested is where you said you are getting a new license plate bracket made up ... is that a tail tidy like this one by EvoTech? (which I think is the nicest I have come across, even if the price is a bit much).
