My hope is that they will allow me to use my hi-mount link pipes (which are longer than the low-mounts and thus give a boost to the lows and mids) while keeping the passenger pegs (so I can take my daughter out for rides)...

Update: Finally got around to installing my high-mount link pipes (had been running low-mounts since I started taking my daughter out for rides) thanks to my new-to-me Yoshimura high-mount supports (which also have folding footpegs as OEM bits). I had to put some spacers to set the cans outward (notably on the chain side) as the can was oh-so-close to the swingarm brace and hugger. Anyhow, got everything on, made the necessary jetting changes (with the Flo-Commander on both the main and pilot circuits, I only had to turn both screws) and off I went. The bike pulls noticeably stronger in low and mids, while losing some power up top. As I very seldom rev it close to redline (prefer to surf the torque curve instead - it's a streetbike after all), it's a very feasible and acceptable trade-off for me. In face, it was precisely what I was hoping for. Roll-ons are now stupid quick...

Well worth getting those new hangers then Micky Not only do they look bling, you have now got more low down grunt, a win win situation in my book

I wondered how long it would take you to get fed up with that.

I took an old 1300 Pan out yesterday. Heavy but you don't notice it when moving. Quite fun really and super comfy. But... I decided I don't want a tatty cheap one with knackered shock and worn out disks and I can't justify an expensive one. I scratched an itch but thanks and no thanks.
