OK - I really don't want to look like a total newbie, but what the hell is a "Bolt On"... - I know what a Slip on, slider, clipon, rearset, PCIII, Headshake, Tank Slapper, highside, and lowside, but I've never heard of a "Bolt on"...

BUT looking at your bike, I'd say the polished would probably be the way to go. - Not much CF already on it...

the 929 and 954 exhaust canisters dont slip on and use springs. They are mounted using a 3 bolt flange and " Bolt on"

But for the original poster... This is tough But i think the polished would be alittle too much with the swingarm right there..So im gonna say carbon

NY - thanks for the education...

In this case, polished. - I just don't feel the mixture of polished/carbon - I'd love to upgrade some accessories on my bike with Chrome, but the previous owner did a lot in Carbon, so that decision had already been made...

I've got a Micron, and it's not super loud. I think it's a nice deep tone to it. I hear a lot of people like them....

I always thought that the carbon pipes have a better sound to it.

im not a real big carbon fiber fan, but i think it goes well with the scheme u have. I have a 2 bros pipe on my 929, and love the sound, nice deep good tone, nice and loud, but not obnoxiously (sp)
