RE: Stock Exhaust

["Stuart Mumford" <s2mumford@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just swapped mine last night. Just by holding the two of them, I'd guess
the carbon fibre is 2 or 3 ponds lighter. Tha stocker isn't really heavy at
all IMHO. As far as noise, I have yet to ring it out on the highway, but at
low rpm's it isn't much louder, just a deeper, resonant sound rather than
the pseudo-japanes-4 banger stock sound.

Now for my Question, what is the correct torque for the fairing cap screws?
I own a nice 3/8" torque wrench (inch pounds), and am fairly anal retentive.
