Hello all, I finally grew up and sold my ZX-10R to make room for a 2019 Concours 14. I don't need to tell you how great of an all arounder it is - my commute is 60 miles round trip so it made sense, and makes me want to ride every day. I'm still getting used to the weight in the corners, but acceleration and braking performance hasn't disappointed me - a tall order coming from the 10R! I have put about 3k miles on it so far and the only thing modification I felt was immediately necessary was getting rid of the massive stock muffler. I did research on this forum, and even though I was a little nervous because I wasn't familiar with the company I purchased the 13" Delkevic stainless slip on. So far the quality has impressed especially for the price point. I installed it myself without problem and I am far from mechanically inclined, fit and finish very nice. Happy to report that if you angle the midpipe correctly there is ample clearance below the hard case, and I haven't had any heat issues even on 90+ degree days. Since I kept the factory header, the pipe is not too loud, it's just right! Under acceleration it makes itself known, but at steady cruise you can barely hear it over wind noise. Plus it was a cheap way to get rid of 15lbs. I have been riding for 17 years and am spoiled to have this amazing do it all machine under me - safe riding all!
