I DID
I bought the bike with the full Remus installed, and it didn't come with the stocker. I hated the rocket nozzle look of the Remus canister, and didn't like the fact that it didnt even match the space under the seat. it looked like a car exhaust on a motorcycle. I sold the Remus and bought the HPE slip on, which worked fine with the Remus header, and really cleaned up the lines on the rear. I wanted a belly pan, and after deliberating the Schnitzer, Hesa and Ilmberger, went for the Ilmberger which I posted about here. The Ilmberger (gen 1) was a high quality item but really seemed like a bolt on, it didn't match the lines of the bike, it was made to fit the stock exhaust, had a strange flip at the front, it also made the bike look LONG, which I didnt like. I sold the Ilmberger (at a loss of course) and bought the Hesa, which I documented here as well. It had lines more fitting the bike, but now the exhaust headers looked like they were really hanging out there, and the pan looked like a catfish. Once I got wind of the Ilmberger GenII with the new HPE header it was a simple decision. Yeah I sold the Hesa at a loss, but it's only money. I actually think it looks as good as its gonna get. Now I just have to figure out if I want to do anything fancy with the paint, or just do basic black with some stark white die cuts of my favorite racing brands, or maybe nothing and just go for that stealth look.
Next up, winter upgrades: head mods, front Ohlins Pro Pilot upgrade, new tires, maybe cams if I can find the right ones, and possibly a custom saddle. It is nearing completion! If I land the corporate gig I am chasing, I will put an SKRR in the garage next to it! Rock on Brothers!
