On my 22 Tracer 9 GT it takes me 15 minutes to get to it. Seats off, all seat and front fairings and covers off, tank off, disconnect ECM, airbox lid off. It's easier than it seems. Most troublesome is that it is safer to have a second person holding the tank while you disconnect the purge hoses and fuel line.

Finally fitted the HP8 EX. Pretty straightforward install. Looks are fantastic but it has a painful drone from idle to 5k rpm without the db killer. It's impossible to stand. With the db killer it is tolerable. The issue is not that the system is loud because it isn't really loud. The issue is that the muffler exit is right below your ears and an engine drone reflects back from the ground straight into your ears. Will give it some time to see if I can live with it. NOTE: If you buy one ... the db killer does NOT come with it. YOu have to order it and pay extra. I bought directly from Dominator in Poland and paid in Zloty. That gives the best price which was $650 delivered to my door incl. db killer.

Here is a demo how its done. My son's 790 Duke had the problem of "warped rotors" that is very common on those bikes. I spun cleaned the disk rivets like in this video and all is good. When you think you have warped or dragging rotors do this first!
