Hippos are the best solution for cold hands. I hate wearing thick gloves, and you never have to with these bad boys on your bike.
Bit of a pain to install.(tedious, rather than hard)
Looks good. Minimal ground clearance loss. Can see dents (small) where the skid plate was doing it's job.
When I took it off to do an oil and filter change, the original allen key bolts rounded off on two of eight bolts.
Had to grind a groove in two of them to remove them.
Replacing them with hex head bolts.
Also added a bit of anti-seize so that they will be easier to remove next oil change.
The exhaust instantly reduces heat and weight. It sounds deep & throaty exactly as you would imagine and it looks fantastic . The exhaust took almost the entire riding season, but the team at Moto Machines kept me up to date with all tracking steps. I highly recommend buying from this company, but be aware that it takes 3-4 months for this exhaust to come from Italy and you will not be able to install a crash cage due to the 2:1 location where the pipes fuse together.
