Staintune.

While the brake line got a little tight, I didn't have any issues when mine were installed.

I originally wanted a sport screen but waited long enough for a touring screen to be put up for sale here for a great price. I didn't like the way it caused buffeting and noise in my helmet. I made a tilt block and that cured most of it. I now have a sport screen on the way so I will be able to see ...

I had the "spud" in briefly. (Like the term btw.) I took it out because it killed the sound that I wanted. It's actually not overly loud without it, but there is a definite difference between in and out. In, you only get a change in note. Level is very close to the same as stock. I bought ...

Haven't got a sound clip. Now that there is some interest I will see what I can do.

For now, I have a couple of pix.

I was told by a friend and the dealer, who rides an 1150R, that the engine will have small increases in power as it ages, then, at about 10k, you will walk out to the cycle, start her up, and think, Wow!, where did all this extra power come from?!?! I only have about 2200 miles on mine so far, so I ...

Staintune has a nice system. I don't have the collector set, and probably wont get it because of new laws here in California, but I do have the muffler and like the sound a lot. It has a lower rumble compared to stock, and really sounds nice when on throttle. I am not running the baffle, but the vol...

Well, post install, actually. I got the new muffler in yesterday, about 2 weeks before Helmet Head Cycles thought it would be in. Drop shipped from their distributor. The finish is awesome if you like shiny. :D I am not a flashy person, so it didn't strike me at first, except that it appears flawles...

There needs to be some vinyl stickers made up. I would gladly put one on the back of my helmet.

I was looking into mufflers for the same reason. I would like to hear the engine a little more than the sewing machine. I kept looking until I had it down to 2: Akrapovic and Staintune. I opted for the Staintune for pricing, and the endorsement from a friend of mine who used to race. I'm going to st...

I've been looking at mufflers recently and am looking at the Akrapovic and the Staintune. The sound is close to the same from what I can tell on YouTube, but that will be different than in person. The best price I have seen on the Akra is from Amazon so far, and the Staintune is $599 at Helmet Head....

Been planning on doing just that, but haven't really had a nice sunny day here to use as a backdrop... Yeah, I know, "sunny" California, but its usually only sunny during the day, and working makes it hard to do anything during the day. :D I *will* get a pic with something interesting in t...

Hello all! I became the proud owner of a brand new Alpine White 2010 R1200R this last Friday. After having test rode just about all of the '09 GS's, I was talked into trying out the R... That was all it took. Traded in my VFR that I couldn't ride due to a pinched nerve in my neck and don't regret it...
