rrrrrrrrrr i see you want loud, ok, first option should be the TOCE pipes, they are mega loud, a cheaper option would be to gut the standard cans n fit A&R race baffles

The devils big hairy balls of a difference.
If you want a real riders bike. No TC no wheelie control, no ABS , no manufacturer hold your wee hand assistance.
And do want a bike that goes when you tell it to.
That only rewards you when you deserve it,
That spins up from a heavy fist,
Power lifts in fourth,
Then get the totally unrestricted Flash !

I totally fell in love with mine since I sorted it out.
Ohlins all round, set up to suit me and my style of riding,
Decent brake upgrade to cope with the fierce power delivery of the Flashtune.

If you aren't an all out tarmac terrorist then I wouldn't recommend a total removal of all the restrictions,
But if think it's for you,
Let them ponies loose mate.
