I picked up a 2008 Hayabusa for my current commuter. I am debating between getting the equipment to flash the ecu myself to remove the restrictions and speed limiter, or if it would be worth while to get it flashed and dyno tuned at the same time? The bike is stock with yoshimura mufflers...

I need a new/used muffler for my Bandit 1200. I believe an RF900 muffler would work as well... Stock would be nice, I plan on cutting it down to make it small and loud anyways. Aftermarket works too. Send me a PM if you have one you don't need. :)
