Tire prices....

I understand what you are saying about the exhaust but the difference between what you are talking about doing and the pipe I am getting is the same as comparing an old set old set of Blackjacks to a set of TTI's......sure the Blackjacks will get rid of the exhaust but how much are you leaving on the table? While the bike is not a sport bike it does have a 110" Rev Tech for power..and I do let it rip every time I ride it...as far as the seat goes.....well.....I am sure I could save some money by doing something different, like I did by having a friend that owns a fab shop build me handlebars but the cheaper way for me NEVER works out.....that is why I am getting new bars. Life is not always about getting by as cheaply as possible. The bike was not built out of scrap parts. While it was/is not one of the high dollar choppers it is not a rolling bucket of bolts.....
