I agree the paint is a bit on the thin side. The worst bit on mine is in the recesses on the tank where my knees have rubbed the paintwork. I got some clear plastic protectors to put on there.

As for the exhaust baffle, see the sticky at the top of this thread re: number plates & exhausts - well worth knowing about

Google for "Baglux"

Alternatively, have a look for a product called "Ventureshield" or theres an American product called Tank Slappers or something like that I think

Baffes are out on both my bikes and also one my Girlfriends bike ( the other bike has its standard can still ). Never had any trouble with the Police. As long as you dont ride like a moron and attract attention to yourself they'll normally in my experience leave you alone.

Hope that helps

never been stopped

and never stopped anyone for having a loud can

-more likely to get stopped if riding like a ****.
