yeah the stock taillight just like the one EXKAWAIOWNER got. i thought about getting a full undertail but i think this is a better solution, and cheaper.

i still cant decide on an exhaust ive listened to clips of a few of them and lookswise i like the yoshis and the scorpion. the 2bros doesnt speak to me and i couldve sworn Devil was making an exhaust for us but its not on their site and they have a bandit exhaust listed but no info about it. im in quite a quandry.

Yoshi trc pipe man. Its awesome and distinct. Can take the baffles out or leave em in. Heres a youtube vid I made just after installing it. Not the best vid and the volume was low but you can get an idea. BTW this was with the baffles in. Sounds better with em out. Also it rumbles nice
Do any of the aftermarket cans have a provision for the rubber bump stop for the center stand like the stock exhaust, or is that something I'd need to have tack welded on?

ok, i got my fender eliminator in the mail and finally got a chance today to try to install it. compwerkes directions are the worst ive ever seen from any manufacturer of anything. with that being said i ran into a problem or two. this is to exkawaiowner or anyone else with the same eliminator kit, how the hell did you get the silver bolts off the grab handle? my allen key fit perfectly but would not turn the damned thing! i tried all the wrenches in the 650s toolkit as well and nothing. i got real frustrated real fast. after screwing with it for about an hour i decided to just cut the part of the fender below the license plate off and wait till i got some feedback from you guys before i tried to install it again. this is my first bike and yes i am a total noob. please help. thank you.

chairman,
Your right about the directions being garbage - took me at least 4x longer than it shoud have due to trial and error.
I had to use a long handle allen wrench and a small breaker bar to get the grab handle bolt loose - it was friggen over torqued for sure.

I'm not sure on the position of the bolt, but if at all possible, a few good whacks with a hammer on any over-torqued bolt almost always does the trick.
But definitely don't want to be in a position to dent the 650
