Hmm... I don't think I'm prepared to do that! Surely I can get it back somewhat through tinkering elsewhere... Famous last words I know.

Jesse,
Anyway, I've only been brave enough to get her up to just over 100MPH After that I get scared and worry I'm going to blow something up and let off. But if I had enough courage and road, I think it would reach 10,000RPM before it went much over 100MPH.
Rick.

Ziptie a GPS to your bars, or use the speedo and do it. Sunday morning on any freeway. Stay under redline and you are good. It's not a Harley, nothing will blow ;).

Rick...the stock O.E. is a tuned exhaust tract..best all around power for your nearly stock machine along w/ the stock airbox.  ;)

Stock exhaust will always be more restrictive than most aftermarket exhausts, thats why most require a rejet....
