Yes, had some fun last night! with the secondary plates finally removed, the kwaka started lifting the front in 1st with no sweat. We both weren't fit to open it hard with a few drinks.
The top gear roll-ons don't really mean much in my opinion, both bikes have different power bands hence one will have the advantage at a point.
On the way there we did a quick run almost from a dig. I took the hit & pulled away but the distance remained steady after that so with an better start i'd say they would have been neck & neck.
The kwaka can definately launch harder with the stock clutch & with a full exhaust system & power commander with a good map I'd most likely gain a good 10-15 RWHP but at the moment i'm still tossing up whether to bother getting the full system.
Its a combination of the 'looks' thing & the "cost" thing. I like the balanced look the dual setup gives but the HP gain with full system is unbeatable. But i'm leaning towards the M4 Retro Drag slip-ons. They are only 500 bux, top notch sound & 20lbs lighter than the stock mufflers (the cats are in the mufflers).
To me, thats a pretty good cost/benefit ratio so I might give those a go. I can't justify $1500 bux for a full system at the moment with the minor benefit I'd get as the slip-ons still have a fantastic weight saving...& i'll probably just ebay the slip-ons anyway.
Have a look
