Welcome Miguel!
Try putting some pictures up if you can (just so we can see the Sun again!).

How did you lose the 10kg, new exhaust?

Cheers

Gidday Miguel, welcome aboard.

Not much point in me shedding 10Kg off the bike - better to shed 10Kg off me!

I've always been a huge fan of the Yoshi Cyclone full system, I think the style suits the 14,  I have Yoshi cans / pipes on a couple of bikes and have always been happy with them.

Having said that, I've had lots of very positive feedback from folks about the Akro full systems on the 14 and if I get another 14 I'd be very temped to go that route myself next time.  I do like the Akro full systems...  :onya:

Welcome Miguel.

I am just starting to put together plans for my 2018 touring holiday and Portugal is on the list - who knows, I may pass you on the road somewhere :grin:

Enjoy your bike, I'm sure you will make it your own.

Mate......it ain't the centerstand. Its the shed i've built over the tools thats the problem.

I think Reds' post was directed at me, KF.  I'm also in no danger of loosing my 10Kg centre stand, however, I too have built a bloody shed over said tools as well - must be the good kiwi living!

A bit late, but welcome along Miguel :onya:

Those PipeWerx cans are excellent value for money. My Son had PipeWerx on his Bandit.
