Still lighter than the dual muffler models!
Staintune is a quality company, but $800+ to save 4.4 pounds and possibly gain 6-7 HP is close to 10% of the cost of the bike new.
Not that 7-8% claimed HP gain may not be noticeable, but I have not yet found a dyno chart to compare factory with Staintune.
Had a pleasant 280 mile ride today and found a great pie shop past Gunlock, in Veyo, Utah. Might have personally saved a pound or so if I skipped the blueberry pie, after the brisket sandwich!
Only got 48 MPG (per trip computer) running 80 MPH for ~165 miles on interstate 15, but used much less fuel than my friend's Vrod.
I am extremely happy with this bike.
Stock, other than:
1. LED tail/brake light
2. Snorkel minor mod
3. Dart Marlin flyscreen
Might add a Formotion thermometer, maybe research a gauge for head or oil temperature, with consideration for rides over 115 F.
