Hope to collect my Fuoco in the coming week with 14000 miles and a service history, so hope it will be ok..

But after coming from a 1986 Harley Softail with a good sound, want to improve it's sound.....

Was looking and listening to a Mivv on U-tube and I think it sounds great so hope to get one.

Firstly, is there any issues in fitting it?

Secondly, will the bike run ok after fitting it or will there be issues with stalling, cutting out etc?

Also, as I am getting exhaust out quicker, I saw mentioned somewhere that there is an mod you can make to the air-box to help it breathe easier, what is it?

Thanks,

Tony.

If you want a deeper sound, go with the K&N filter mod. Those exhaust are really expensive and don't do that much.

Sure enough there is. It's called the ponydrvr airbox mod. It opens up the inlet air routing and raises the noise level in a very minor way.

If you're interested pm me. I have a spare airbox cover we can swap out as long as yours is in good condition.
