My silencer still looks good, that's because my bike gets cleaned a lot and i hate to leave it dirty after a ride. The baffles are still inside and i don't feel the need to ride without them. Changing/cleaning airfilter was a pain in the ass the first times, but now i'm used to it, it's a one beer job. It's also one of the very rare ocassions i'm glad to have small hands
, so i don't have to dislocate my hands to get the job done
