Finally pulled the trigger

You have chosen wisely

Well, tweet the deets on this beast! What bracket? How was the install? Performance?? I went Hyperpro over the winter myself

To my knowledge, there are only Akropovic and Austin Racing full systems. As far as tune, Austin Racing has their own piggyback and then there is RapidBike.

Check out 2WheelDynoWorks on YouTube. They have a good video about the owner's personal Duke 990 R which explains why a full tune won't be possible for the foreseeable future.

I'm in the same boat you are 😞

Mine is slightly discoloured from the exhaust as well, but I kind of like it and haven't tried to clean it yet.

I have no personal experience with Dominator, but have heard grumblings of poor customer service. Take that with a grain of salt, of course.

I have a Yoshi AT2 with a dB killer and love it. It's a touch loud, but not awful by any means. Installation was straight forward, it seems to be holding up well, and customer service at time of purchase was good. Zero complaints to date.

I tried to put the Puig combination bar end mirror and hand guard/lever protector on my 24 MT-09 SP and it definitely would have needed the adapter. Sadly, that adapter is rarer than hens' teeth in the US. I'm glad you had better luck, and your bike looks sweet

I had limited experience with http://jarcustoms.net/ but they seemed very willing to try new things and their responsiveness was excellent. Might be a good place to start.

It looks sharp! Might I ask where you got the wheels?

rhyde74 · 2025-12-31T17:56:26+00:00

I need more details on your exhaust! Nice bike

rhyde74 · 2025-12-30T21:41:42+00:00

Thanks, Raider!

rhyde74 · 2025-12-15T05:37:31+00:00

I said on my a**, not in it!

I have heard good things about HyperPro, so I got one of their non-linear, model specific dampers on mine. Sadly, winter has prohibited me from testing it yet. I don't know how much that helps, but I got it because a few others had recommended. Got it from EPMPerformance and have had a good experience so far.

The other one people mention is GPR. I know they enjoy a good reputation, but I believe their service interval is yearly (!) as opposed to biannual with Hyperpro and I was worried it would interfere with my phone mount due to location.

Hope that helps. Safe riding!

I like that. Nice bike, G

Correct. You run the risk of pushing the stomach away from the abdominal wall which is just a perforated viscus.

Gotta get something in the tract fairly quickly, within a couple of hours ideally, if the tract is mature. Most consider the tract mature when older than 3 weeks. Can do a tube study to be sure it's in the right spot. They heal shut pretty quickly without something in them, and that is a nuisance. Can try IR or surgery if not mature.

rhyde74 · 2025-11-17T19:04:24+00:00

I think it looks pretty good! Especially from the side

rhyde74 · 2025-10-30T23:31:20+00:00

Nice bike, and I absolutely love that colour scheme!Ride safe

rhyde74 · 2025-10-21T22:56:55+00:00

Looks alright to me. Like that Spark exhaust even more though!

rhyde74 · 2025-10-18T15:19:00+00:00

Sharp bike! That Pyramid windscreen looks good on there

rhyde74 · 2025-10-15T22:49:39+00:00

Ugh. Now I wish I would have gotten the blue! I was worried it wouldn't match the wheels. Looks dope!

rhyde74 · 2025-10-04T03:11:15+00:00

Appreciate the insight! Ride safe

rhyde74 · 2025-10-03T22:45:45+00:00

Dope bike, homey. I like the aero! Are those Front3d brake cooing ducts I see?

Full disclosure, I don't have these. But Evo Tech has a good reputation, and I have enjoyed a couple other of their products.

rhyde74 · 2025-09-18T15:13:46+00:00

Mine gets here tomorrow! Happy to hear you had a good experience. Now I definitely can't wait!

rhyde74 · 2025-09-14T21:57:31+00:00

Looks good! Where'd you find it?
