In the US at the moment we only have a few choices in aftermarke exhaust (that I am aware of) for the SD.
1. LeoVince slip on
2. Akro slip on
3. Akro full
I am in the (lucky?) position of being able to get a LeoVince slip-on CF or Ti for a little less than $500, the Akro slip-on for just under $1k or the full Akro for just about $1850. Assuming price is not an object (well it is, a little, but I can afford to go which ever way I want on this)....
How do the power characteristics of the different setups (I have access to the KTM/Akro maps) compare? I'm not looking for (in particular) out-right HP but ride-ability in the twisties. The power increase will be great but I don't want that increase at a sacrafice of shifting power and torque too far up the curve with a large "hit". I have owned many a bike in my day (as has the wife) with different mods so I understand what most systems can do. I am just curious what you guys have found in your trials and travels. The info may all be buried in the forum but I am a bit limited in my time to research on-line.
Many thanks for any help....and....errrrr....hello as I am new to the forum. Two new SDs in the family along with two '05 625SMCs (Bike stuff in this family comes in twos...one for me, one for the wife...hers is a slightly slower orange and mine is an evil black one).
