    exhaust switch

    Thanks Ulrich I did not know that. I don't run with the bags but like the option. This means I'll have to keep stockers to go back. My bride isn't happy at present, I stripped everything passenger/pillion off the bike for now.

    exhaust switch

    Considering change from stock classic mufflers to the fishtail mufflers. Does anyone know if the frame bracket is compatible with the change? Does both frame bracket and muffler need to be changed? I looked around the forum and didn't see.

    I just removed my pillion/passenger pegs yesterday, they have threaded holes there. Just pull rubber plugs out, may have to turn a little but should pull right out.
