Just finished my install of the [url=http://www.samurider.com/?p=2595]SP Tadao Power Box that I purchased through Samurider (who's service has been just fantastic for each order I've done).
Plusses
[li]It's very light. Man, that stock exhaust is heavy.[/li] [li]The finish and quality is very nice. It really is a pretty exhaust.[/li] [li]I like the sound. It adds a little grunt and pipe to the bike. Has enough noise when at low speed, and isn't noticeable at 70 on the freeway. I think it's about right for the bike. It has a nice "gurgle"[/li] [li]Like the short look and how it tucks under and out of the way.
[/li]
Negatives
[li]It just slips on the 4x1 and I wish it had a clamp. (FYI, it doesn't seem to leak nor have any rattling)[/li] [li]The "power box" under the bike just slips on as well. (FYI, it doesn't seem to leak nor have any rattling)
[/li]
I do like it, although I think in the end I might have just done a full exhaust like the [url=http://www.samurider.com/?p=6448]Moriwaki Short Full Exhaust. For some reason I didn't see that first, or didn't think I could retain the center stand, yet I saw a picture with it on Samurider with the center stand...
