exhaust modification
I read somewhere that you can cut out the baffles on the back of the exhaust and it makes a big positive difference. Has anyone done this, and if so, what were the results. I thought about just getting a new bolt on but someone says unless you get the $1200 akrapovic or whatever, you wont get much more for hp/torque.

do a search!

what kinda engine work to you recommend? I just got done replacing my sprockets. 2+ in the rear and 1- in the rear. The back was simple, however my dumb **** broke the bolt on the front...that was an ordeal. Was lucky enough to be able to extract it and not have to pay for it.

You should have just gone with +3 on the rear and the OEM chain still works (but per my reply to your other thread), if you have more than 10k miles on the stock chain, replace it. As far as other mods, do a bunch of Forum searchs. Making major engine mods is costly and reduces reliability for maybe a 15% gain (unless you go really hogwild). Concentrate first on comfort (gel Progrips, my old Helibars, a Sargent saddle, tank "Stomp Grips", etc), then rejetting the carbs and slip-on cans (or a Bafflectomy), handling (fork springs & damping mods and replace the shock with a Penske 2-way), and braided stainless brake and clutch lines & EBC or DP front brake pads & SBS low-friction rear pads. The list is almost endless...

I did this Monday and wow! Previously I had just drilled some holes and that was cool, but this sound is way cool. And I havent noticed that it needs any carb adjustments though it has been backfiring some likely due to the PAIR emissions system.
Thanks for the instructions Greg!
