Stainless or Carbon Fiber?
I'm thinking about the Yoshimura TRS slip on, either in stainless, or carbon fiber.
stainless is $305 and CF is $410. any opinions one way or another? or recommendations for other exhausts? probably going to order today or tomorrow, hopefully will get home by 4th of july... but i might put it off until mid august when i get back home for good. planned mods/ stuff to buy, all cosmetic/ poser mods : - flushmounts - rear seat cowl - cut the shovel of a fender off - Yosh TRS exhaust - frame sliders - new upper fairing (current is cracked from lowside)

I had a yoshi stainless when I had my SV650... I loved the sound of it....however now that I have Carbon Fiber exhaust I like it so much more...it never gets too hot.

Carbon Fiber! My friend Zohra burned her leg on my damn stock exhaust before I switched to carbon fiber. Plus it just looks better. Damn stainless and polished aluminum get scratched too easily and it's too noticeable.

I say CF... it's what I have on mine
Stays cool(er) and looks better with the black frame and wheels. Full system on the V-twin won't do much. couple horse maybe. Not worth the extra $$ IMO. |
