    Enjoy..
    Haha, if you are riding one of these buggers well enough to see off a reasonably well ridden sportsbike I guarantee you that "comfortable" is one thing the rider will not be......

    Good call on dumping the cans but why replace 'em with another two when one would suffice? A 4-1 full system would give better results for a similar price and less weight compared to two replacement cans.

    All the same it should be a much more sprightly ride with re-gearing and less lard, well done sir.

    Because some people want to improve their midrange performance rather than just doing the normal top end improvement of a 4 into 1(at the expense of mid-range) that you can't use on a daily basis.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I don't think raping the midrange a little will give too many problems on a bike that must have 120 odd nM hahaahahah.

    Yeah, what the sociopath said.

    Actually, the bike already goes fine. I just want it to be louder.

    Mm, yes.

    I'm thinking of taking the entire muffler off in front of the pillion footpegs and replacing it with something short, light and very, very noisy.

    You'll find, from a rider's perspective, that it's not the noise per se, but what it does. Resonance at certain positions in the rev range can be, well, resonantly resonant. I recommend wearing very good ear plugs if you plan a significantly extreme aural conquest.
