It's normal. You had it with the stock pipes and you just never noticed because it wasn't loud. If you do a search the forum for solutions; there are a few. Ivan's tune and marbling come to mind.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks. As for the front, I've heard people do it but it might not be worth me effort. The front lasts quite awhile.

I ride in the rain way too much to be concerned about the wet weather traction. I've been happy with the Dunlop traction, just not the wear. Though the front lasted about 15k miles.

I find that the buffeting was reduced by the fairing. It also added protection for the hands. I had some issues with my bars, so I had to take it off (I have much taller ape hangers). If you're...
