I've had my XB12S for a few weeks and ridden a couple hundred miles. Traded a V Rod for the Buell because I wanted a lighter, sportier, better handling MC.

As you all know, the XB12 is all that and more. About the only problem I have w/ the Buell (except for that "pesky" electric fan) is it's TOO DARN QUIET !!!

I'm ready to get a better sounding exhaust right now, but my dealer won't guarantee that they will honor all warranty claims if I change the exhaust, even if I go w/ a Buell race kit. They say there could be the possibility of warranty denial in some instances.

Has anyone gone to the trouble to keep their complete stock XB12S exhaust system to put back on the bike in case of a warranty claim ?

Is it worth the hassle, or should a guy just go for a better sounding exhaust and not worry about a possible warranty problem ?

Give me some opinions - have a lot of you gone for better sound and performance and said the heck with worrying about warranty ???

I appreciate any input, thanks,

Emery
