    Otherwise its a complete waste of money on a purely cosmetic mod
    Nope I didn't and to be honest 210hp was enough to manage 100kmph and be able to get along quite well if doing more.
    Always has cracked me up when people feel the need to take things even further when they really can't ride the stock bike to its limits anyway

    Wouldn't make it much faster by any any means, but it would make the engine a little less asthmatic. Put one of those cans in a band saw and do a cross section and you will be shocked how much at how simple they really are. Pretty much a peformrated pipe wrapped in a blanket of a certain thickness to comply to a certain noise rating to keep the popos and concerned residents happy.

    Extractors (headers) are one of the best bang for buck mods you can do for a vehicle. Put them on a straight 6 or a v8 car and there is almost a instant difference in power delivery.

    My busa came with scorpion cans and no headers. I would put headers on it as they are around half the price of the cans but I have something much better planned in the horse power department.

    How are you finding the bike anyway? Didn't you trade in a diavel or some shit for it?

    What cans and screen did you put on? I bought a R&G tail tidy and Two Bros Black Series carbon cans and I'm stoked with both those editions.

    I have a busa which for the moment makes enough power for our roads, so I've been putting my money into making it more comfortable to ride for longer periods of time. Just order Helibars for it and I'm considering which seat to order right now.

    Have bought a tail tidy and will be fitting it shortly. Have fitted a Zero Gravity dark screen and a pair of M4 Retro slip ons.
    I'll take a pic at some stage mate
