Hi guys,
Well after going for a ride with my club on the new 'busa last weekend, its quite evident that the bike is just too damn quiet when riding in a group, especially with reasonably loud bikes, no one can hear where you are, so I spent most of my time out front or behind the pack (which is hard to do..) for safety reasons.
I can get a set of devil carbon slip-ons for around the $1k mark brand new, which is about 600 bucks off the shelf price. However I'm deciding whether or not to do a full system and get it over and done with, which might be cheaper in the long run.
Now I don't want to fork out a small fortune right now, as I have the first kid due in less than 2 months, which is why I was considering the slip-ons.
Any suggestions or comments about the slip-ons vs a full system would be appreciated. At the moment I'm not overly worried about a loss of weight or increase in power,(though I wouldn't knock it back) just a good note to let people know where I am.
Cheers
