"im very happy even w/ the stock performance of my bike so im not in any rush to gain more power."

Spoken like a non-squid. Consider front and tail light modulators, which I will be getting this season too.

Headlight modulators "pee" me off to no end. Having a bike shoot past me with the hightbeams flashing on and off so fast that it's likely to induce a seizure. I think they should be outlawed, they attract attention yes, but not the good kind.

I hope they are annoying and draw attention, thats the entire point.

I think people on cell phones driving on the road are annoying and pee me off to no end. As long as thats legal, Im fine with headlight modulators.

Undertail exhaust would look good. They're re-working their 05-06 stuff for your bike though. I think it'd be a good mod to look out for. Looks hella better than that stock can AND you can take off the passenger peg mounts like was talked about already.

There's also high mount systems such as this.

That undertail is hot. Where does the license plate go?

He doesn't need a license plate. Did the Batmobile have one? So why would the Red Ridercycle need one?

I'm not really sure. Probably wouldn't be too hard to mount the stock license plate mounting bracket to the plastic. It also says it comes with a license plate mounting bracket.

Now hold license plate in desired location on undertail (under the signals) ,
carefully mark and drill holes, install using the two (2) sets of bolts & nuts.

I liked this part of the instructions:

IF YOU CHOOSE TO “DO-IT-YOURSELF”, WHICH WE DON’T RECOMMEND, ALWAYS
TAKE APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT, SUCH AS
SAFETY GOGGLES AND LEATHER GLOVES.

Heh, screw paying someone.

sorry, i really don't dig the undertail exhaust.

doesn't having the regular exhaust position add a little to lowering the center of gravity?

i dunno what the advantage of having an undertail exhaust has but either way, im not really a fan of undertail exhaust.

The weight of the can is only on one side though. Wouldn't that put the weight off to the right?

That and ANYTHING to replace that stock can is worth it. hmm... Quad pipes, MV Agusta style...
