Hello Howdy and welcome to the forum. Dont let the little things drive you nuts. Ride the darn thing until it's not worth much to you or anyone else. At least that's what I do.

Yes, it's normal and yes I still have my stock exhaust in my garage collecting dust

Here's a picture of my (very dirty) pipe and shock. Peer closely and you can see the big dent at the back of the pipe. It's normal.

Welcome and enjoy. I'm thinking about relocating to NC when I retire.

Thank you to everyone who responded; much appreciated.

USCGMAC,

We may have kinda/sorta been neighbors, lol, as I'm originally from the Northeast, namely New Jersey, where I've lived for most of my life barring a brief stint in Florida before relocating to the Carolinas.

If/when you eventually retire to NC, I hope we'll meet and ride together!

Sounds good. I would love to make that N.Y. pension fund go a lot further by living down south. N.Y. is getting way too expensive.

Just curious, what part of N.C did you relocate to. I was thinking about looking into the Cary, Apex, Morrisville area.

I solved the "dented" stock muffler by replacing it with a Yoshimura--no dents, deeper sound with baffle intact. (2014 Yoshi has welded-in baffle).

Apologies for not responding sooner as I have not been following/monitoring the thread, and didn’t notice your latest comments and/or questions until now.

My home is in the foothills of Hickory, which is somewhat centrally located between Charlotte and/or Asheville, and ~ 60 – 75 miles from the former and/or latter.

In reference to “N.Y. is getting way too expensive,” I understand completely; my NC home and property taxes cost less than half what I paid in NJ.
