Got any good riding suggestions around Laughlin? Tmorrow I'm heading out to Vegas, catching the art of the moto and then jumping out of an airplane (Christmmas present for me and my 18 year old daughter!)From there it is to Death Valley for some dirt roads and after Christmas will be heading south towards AZ and back to NM. --- s2mumford wrote:

I've had my KLR A5 for about a year and a half now, and I've put over 10 000 miles on it since, most of them on a trans-US tour (Montreal- LA-San Fran and back..) this summer. I rode the bike with the stock pipe for quite some time, until I picked up a supertrapp IDS for 20$us from a friend that just bought the Big Gun. The pipe is loud. I love it, it sounds great to me, but some might not like it at all. So if loud pipes bother you, forget it. If you're looking for higher top speed, you'll be disapointed. However, with the pipe and minor carb adjustments (2 washers under main, pilot 3.5 turns out), the bike becomes so much snappier. The dyno might not show it, but the pipe did make a big difference in my opinion and was worth the 20 bucks. As a matter of fact, I'd even buy it full price and still see it worth it. I think that a supertrapp IDS2 is reasonably priced, but I wouldn't go for the Big Gun that is nice, but too expensive. Paul T. Montreal, CANADA A5
