There's no such as a dumb question.
Maybe just dumb answers! Here's mine:
What are the loudest cans?
Those that are on a Harley (or Firestorm Mark's VTR).
Why would you use gixxer 750/1000 pegs instead of stock?
1)If you have long legs they can lower your feet slightly and thereby drop your knees a bit to a more desirable area of the tank.
2)Also may give you slightly better ground clearance if you do not wish to drag the pegs.
3) Some claim they look better though personally i like the chunky stockies.
Why get a complete new exhaust kit if the main power and weight benefits come from the muffler?
They don't. The stock exhaust is very heavy from start to finish and also has "thingies" in it that reduces the flow in the exhaust pipe itself. Plus by putting on a new exhaust you can go to a 4-2-1 system which is better for an in line 4.
Who does good work on after market crap like huggers, tail end, re-maps etc in Melbourne?
Ball's in Sunshine (9364 8993) or Pete's Pitstop in Narre Warren (9799 0531)
Do workshops do the air-box mod and ram air sealing or are these best done at home?
You can do it yourself if you know what you are doing, otherwise Ball's or Pete's can do it for you. Are you considering the large or small airbox mod?
Does getting raised handlebars mean getting more wind blasted from a more upright sitting position? (what about with bubble windscreen)
Put a double bubble screen on it at your earliest convenience...best money you will ever spend on the busa. Can't speak about the helibars, don't have them, but there was this thread on them recently.

As for being a club member...I think 1000 posts is the requirement now isn't it?
Cheers.
