First off I got to say what an amazing bike! My previous and first bike was my 05 America but this is so much more fun. So far I've put 103 miles on it,I would have ridden more but I can only ride so much when its in the 40s.....

Right now I'm just working on breaking the bike in and learning how to ride it fast but safely. Id like to start modding the bike in a few months but I'm not sure where to start. The NARK air box kit combined with after market exhaust seems like it would be the best performance boost. Does any one have any recommendations for exhaust?Also those that are running the fender removal kit,do you get any more spray kicked up with out the rear fender in the rain?

I love the Predators I just installed! I read that they are definitely throatier than the TORS, but not as obnoxious as the D&Ds. There are a few sound bytes of either out there. My butt dyno tells me my bike "gets up" quicker. I just love blipping the throttle. I guess it's not goin to help that MPG is gonna go down anyways w/o the AI. Who cares? I should be getting > 30 MPG anyways!

Re: the rear fender. All the pics I see out look great. I have the same rain concerns, as it seems to never stop raining here. I'm also concerned about the safety aspect, as the leds on the replacement brake lites seem too small. Besides, i just bought a brake light modulator...stupid thing wasn't inexpensive.
