Opened up the seat cowl a little. Still not even close to as much space as the gen 1.
What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Received my Antigravity battery today. The Duralast gold was in the Gen1 and weighs 10lbs. The super MF in the Gen3 weighs 9.1lbs and the Antigravity weighs 2.3 lbs. I used a Etekcity EL11 luggage scale and weighed each one multiple times.

Have you taken the bike out for a spin with the new cannons? How does she sound? Any difference in power or purely noise?

Yes. Definitely a bit louder and deeper sound, but not offensive. But the sound difference disappears at cruising speeds, only to return when the throttle is cracked.
It‘s difficult to measure performance gains but the bike is becoming smoother and more enjoyable as the engine breaks in. As a result it is better, but maybe not just because of the cans.
Overall, the slip ons are worth the $. I’m pleased.

I randomly did the same thing here in Louisiana. Had a quick 45min ride while family was napping yesterday.
I run a Sena SMH10R headset, last weekend I removed the speakers from the helmet and upgraded to some 45mm speakers and soldered them in. I finally got to ride with them, totally a night/day difference in sound quality and volume some too. Totally wished I'd done this 6yrs ago when I bought the headset.

Knight Designs 1 3/8 (35mm) drop pegs installed. Im going to give a little relief for the shifter, but right now it clears. May make a small notch for the spring to ride in, we shall see.
They feel like they take the strain off my knees.
They are for the ZX14.
I’m going to try washers or brass spacers to fill the gap.
Thanks @chidago!

SidneyCarton yours have the db killer? I took Akrapovic, but they don't have db killers, I really miss the music, because a few rides, risking the ticket, I would have done it. I also see that we have the same pegs, which I am very satisfied with.

I‘m not sure. Straight from the box.
...that b*tch is an expensive date too
Rode it, got soaked nearing 15K miles. Got the oil and filter. Just waiting
I have the SMH10. Speakers are starting to go. Which speakers did you replace them with?

Can't recommend the upgrade enough, it's amazing the quality difference. For a long time I assumed that's just the way it was going to sound and better than nothing. Actually have some bass and clarity now.

I got the cheaper set, wasn't totally sure how this experiment was going to turn out. Also when you cut the cord there is 2 uninsulated wires inside. Have no clue why they're not insulated, but soldered fine and no static and such.
How did you figure out which wires to solder together? Are they the same color? I never taken the wiring apart on mine.
