Thanks for the reply. I am in the process of getting the exhaust upgraded, and that was another issue that i worried about. I didnt want to cut into the skirt, and i wanted to keep the stock look, so i was going to get them to 'hide' it behind the skirt, the way it is at the moment. Just a quick question on the exhaust topic though... i have read up ALOT about the exhaust upgrade, on this forum as well as others. But i cant seem to work out a definitive answer... On a Sportivo, is it 2.25 inch or 2.5 inch? And does it REALLY make that much of difference. I really want to spend the $750 on something thats worth my while! :) Thanks for all the help tho guys... its the first time i have posted, but i have really enjoyed the reading for all this time! :) Yeah you had the rear skirt installed so might aswell leave it on... Go 2.5" on the piping.
