Skrapy,
Check out the SuperTrapp universal aluminum racing cans in the Dennis Kirk catalog. They have a 1 3/4" model that would suit Suzi well-you`d need an adapter pipe and some clamps and you`d have to whip up a bracket, but I did call the good folks at SuperTrapp and they said the can weighs only a few pounds. It`s about $170 or so and DK has the best price & free shipping on it. The Trapps will be somewhat louder than stock, but not even close to the usual bark from other sources-plus they are tuneable. I`ve seen dyno charts bumping Suzi up to well over 32 horses w/ NO carb mods. I also think the look is different enough to be cool in a weird way. Looks come second to performance in my mind anyway, so I`m saving up my change for a redo this winter.
I am more interested in acceleration and handling than top speed myself, just my personal riding requirements. Lots of narrow winding roads, farm trucks, school buses around here and when you gotta get out of the way, it`s good to have the confidence.
All the Savages seem to be set way too lean, and an open pipe is just going to exascerbate the situation. I`m here in RI-mean altitude 200 feet, damp and cool, so getting the bike to run richer here is a chore.
My 2 cents,
B
