After Market Exhausts

If you put on a hindle do you have to get a juice box? I've heard there can be issues there with fuel mixture with an aftermarket exhaust.

I have the hindle and no juice box. My spyder runs just fine and have no plans to add the juice box. The only thing I am going to add now is the K & N filter. Was at the dealer last week when they put the elka shocks on and talked to the tech who has put several other kinds of exhausts on spyders and he said he liked the sound the hindle makes better. He also showed me something I had not considered before which since the hindle is longer that is why it does not sound so loud while on the bike but really sounds cool if you hear it coming. I was shocked at the weight difference between the stock and the hindle and I think it was Bob that reminded me that the Cat is in the stock exhaust on the RS thus the extra weight.

One thing I forgot to mention is that if you do get the hindle there is a break in proceedure that is important to follow to avoid damaging the exhaust. Basically if I remember correctly it is once the exhaust is on to start the bike up and let it idle for 15 minutes and then cool down completly. I also took a couple of short rides and let things cool down before I started riding extensivly.
