Actually, I'm kinda liking that black...that would look great on my 14 Black Edition.

(BTW they are the most symmetrical of all the breakfast pastries)
The Round Rock donuts are oval, so they're only symmetrical in north/south or east/west orientation. Hmmm, I'm just 5 minutes from that place right now. Semi like a reasonable place to go after hitting the gym...
Back on topic, weight is less of a concern on a bike that in it's lightest form is 540 lbs (30 lbs is less than 6% of the bikes weight, even more like 4% with the rider). An aftermarket 4-2 exhaust is probably similar in weight to the 2013 factory exhaust. Coupled with loosing 10 lbs of centerstand, you'll drop weight on a 2013. There is also the Tadao Two Tails exhaust that allows you to retain the center stand unlike other 4-2 systems.
I think it comes down to looks and possibly sound when changing systems. Performance gains are nice, but not something I counted on when I installed my Staintune slip on. I wanted a smaller muffler and deeper sound. I got it and it feels more responsive.

Actually, many people make that reasonable but faulty assumption, but the truth is that each pound saved is equal to six dougnuts which is equal calorie wise to 1.25 horsepower. I know that's right.
