Default exhaust question

When you get rid of the stock exhaust, and you are going to put on a new after market, is there anything special i would have to do or buy or does it just "bolt on"??

It is usually just a matter of swapping them out, I would recommend a power comander if you have fuel injected bike ( you did not state what kind of bike it is)

the new exhaust should come with everything you need to complete the install. the instructions will also tell you if any of the stock bolts are reused. or just call the company and ask them. and (as limpy stated) if you go with a full system, you really should get a power commander or re-jet the carbs for the increased flow. this is also recommended but not a necesity for slip-ons.

there is only one answer to this question. YES. they are both awesome bikes. there are some other threads on here that compare the 2 to help you narrow your choice.

its a plug and play computer reprogrammer that you leave wiring into your bike. $300-$350 depending on the model and where you get it but definately the first modification that i would do.

I'd go with the rr, and no it's not cause i have one.....well maybe just a little. The rr was my first sports bike and i love it. I don't know alot about f4i but its a honda so it's probably good too..... i just prefer the undertail exhaust look...
