Long story short, I ended up with 2 brand new sets of slip-ons and have to pick one and send the other back. Unfortunately, I have to pick before installation.
Bike is a bone stock 2004 with 2500 miles. It does have a K&N filter installed, AFAIK that's all that's been done. I'd prefer to not rejet at this time.
I've listened to countless videos and like both. Although I run into some that sound very different. Probably due to the recording. There seems to be far more with the trapps to gauge from. The Kerker's have more of the 4 into 1 floating around, few with the 4>2 slip-ons.
The trapps were more expensive by a couple of hundred so I'd save money not going with them. The bits to retune them are kind of expensive. A single end cap is $45 alone and everything has to be done in pairs. I think they came with enough disks to not have to buy any more of those at the moment.
The Kerker's are what they are, not much tinkering I can do AFAIK. I hesitate with them as they were listed as being for 85-93 but Sean Morley said they should fit fine (he was not the seller). They're NOS so maybe they're that old where at the time that's as high as the year went? As stated, they were also a couple of hundred cheaper.
Thoughts, opinions, advice?
