Any aftermarket pipe you go with is going to have an expansion chamber that will sometimes be in the area for a leg burn.. I always wear my riding pants but wear shorts at the beach, nothing wrong with that.. You'll just learn how to ride without burning yourself... It might take a couple burns but yeah... you'll learn :biggrin: I'd say go with T5's, work good on stock setup and only get better with bolt on mods. I'm now moving up to a new top end & mild port which will definately put those pipes to work. You're not going to burn yourself unless you get careless.. Here's a picture example of the pipes at Pismo Beach. Also, you'll be amazed at the people who pay bux for stock pipes, chrome ones makes it a +!!!
