I have experimented with packing removable baffles on several older bikes but nothing with the 14. What I found was purely a difference in sound, not performance. I had tried different configuations on both overlap and perforated baffles, the loudest was obviously nothing on the perforated baffles, the quietest was a good wrap on the overlap baffles. With exhaust packing in place, I think you do need to keep an eye on it as it captures alot of carbon/suit and when restriction is high you could loose performance. It's cheap stuff so play around as you wish.

I have GSXR cans on my 14 that I may un-rivet to see what I can do with them. They are as light as most aftermarket cans but are still on the quiet side, which is what I like.

Beautiful pic,your heel guards would look nice anodized gold,I'm thinking of trying the fibre glass weaved matt that you get at Canadian tire,the normal packing quiets her down for about 1500 km,then quickly gets loud again
