How do you like your Jackpot 4.5 ?

Are the slip on's all you have done to the performance of your engine?

I have the same slip on's.

Thanks

I'm thoroughly pleased with the Jackpots. It's the sound I was looking for. I was going back and forth between these and the V&H monster ovals.
I also added the FM breather and the Power Vision. I did not change out the headers...yet. Here in Japan we have an inspection every 2yrs and already I have to replace the stock mufflers back prior to. Thats easy enough. But changing out the headers too every 2yrs...not sure if I want to go down that road yet. We'll see.

Cheers

By the way, are you pleased with your performance upgrade? Which will include the FM breather and the Power Vision. All I have at the moment are just the slip on's and soon will be adding the same upgrade you presently have.

Thanks so much for your help!!

By my calculations with a premium exchange rate that comes out to $7 per gallon. Premium here is running around $3.85 per gallon or about ¥86 per liter.

Yep! Stuff ain't cheap. I've also got a Honda Fusion(Helix) I use for putting around. Then again, I put premium in it as well...

No problem. The upgrades did wonders for smoothing out my ride. Immediately I had better sound(obviously), better acceleration and smoother shifting.

These bikes over here run super lean from the dealer and the engine is quite a bit louder than the exhaust. I'll have to throw up a pic of the stock "e" stamped mufflers they ship with the bikes here. You guys will get a good laugh.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the PV, but so far I'm very happy.
