New owner needs advice on paint/exhaust
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a blue 2003 with pinstriping done by a well-known pinstriper and previous owner of the bike. It’s in mint original condition with 22,000kms (14,000mi). I didn’t like the pin-striping when I bought it but it’s growing on me. Any idea how I would remove it without damaging the original paint if I decide I want to remove them? It’s not under clearcoat.
The second issue is the Yoshimura RS-3’s I assumed were the same as the ones I had on my 2003 SH I owned in 2010. Turns out these pipes are “street”pipes with welded in baffles that are not to be removed. My previous bike had a small insert that could be removed by undoing one allen bolt. They sounded amazing. I have ordered some GRMoto Carbons but can’t find much info or sound clips of them. If they don’t fit the bill I am going to try Blue Flame. What’s the difference between single port and twin port in regards to sound (deepness and volume)?
