She bought it for me though.

I might go out and get a crash damaged one, chop it and chuck it on when I want to cause some trouble.

A mask is always a good move too when dealing with that stuff.

Actually it isnt as loud is it looks. Obviously its louder but its not offensive

Ditch the mid pipe and mount it right behind the collector. That would look nice.

I am thinking about doing some kind of shorty exhaust for my bandit. I had thought about getting a short mid pipe and getting one of those shorty cans that they make for the new Gixxer and R6.

Should have a bandit 1200 header and midpipe (with the bolt on flange) coming soon.

Also wanting to ditch the nose fairing and put a dual light conversion on the front, on the upside the nose fairing does look better now that I put some flush mount turn signals on it. Thought about switching the bars but I like the position of the stock bars so may just keep em, even if they are bright "O Ring" chrome, if I knew the dimensions of the stock bars I would just get a set of Renthals in the same dimensions.

I didn't mind the stock bars but the Renthals are much, much better.
