I'm back from Daytona and the bike was great in all respects. I'm keeping the bike and am doing the Montana trip in June. I am looking for suggestions on alternative exhaust systems. I know Yamaha just came out with an exhaust system for the 1300. Anyone have any suggestions based on your experience?

I dont know man .... I have been looking around and dont come up with too much for this bike thats reasonable. If you do get the Yamaha performance exhaust, the cheapest I found it was at shspowersports.com

Just curious ... willing to live with the maintenance now ? Is kinda high, huh?

Check these guys out. They have several different types and the programmers too.

I haven't ordered from them but I will more than likely get the sissy bar and luggage rack from them because it is cheaper than Yamaha's

I put Cobra dragsters on my 2008 model. sounds great and has more power after also installing a power commander. Not cheap but worth it!! The only problem I have is that I get a sore neck from leaning too far forward. It seems the bars need a couple more inches pull back. Has anybody else had this problem and if so can you recommend a set of bars. Risers are out because of the taco position.

Check out RSTD bars (you'll need new grips) or V star 950 bars (you can use OEM grips). Are you in US or UK? If US checkout SS Custom's website, if UK I can let you have the part no.

I'm in the process of installing RSTD bars + they come back about another 2 inches

As this is an old thread, PM me and I'll point you in the right direction
