I mean, it was painful to ride. I wear a half helmet, and I'm coming off a Harley, and I don't EVER remember not enjoying the ride. But one of the guys was equating it to riding directly behind a Harley, and I have to agree with that.
The Dealer also installed the wing windshield with the vent. I spoke to the folks at COBRA, I figured, since they make the baffles themselves, they might offer a replacement baffle with different characteristics (not a chance).
These pipes look pretty awesome, and I've only ridden it a few hours, but I'd hate to just go back to stock without exhausting all possibilities (pardon the pun).
I PM'd a few of you guys who indicate a similar opinion to get some advice on your potential fixes.
Barring any solutions, I suspect I will just install the stock pipes and play it out.
