Made the bike (look) faster, added rim-striping.

might I inquire where you sourced these as I'd very much like to tune mine with red or white ones :)

Not yet heard a BOS mounted on a 1250 but they are usually good and LOUD

That is the best looking and probably best quality slip-on I've seen for the 1250. Puts all the others to shame IMHO. Probably the most expensive too.

It looks like equivalent size/voloume to the factory approved Akrapovic. Nice! Not a universal smaller slip-on like so many others. Probably as heavy as the Akra, which is only marginally lighter than stock.

it's actually about 15% cheaper than Akra locally but there is only this one short clip of the sound on their site which is not really telling much and nothing on youtube.
I have no issues with noise and would like to keep in OEM level, so being louder would annoy me first. My issue for the OEM is the chrome lunar lander from aesthetic side

It is a Bos Desertfox, I think it looks great on the bike, sound is nice and I don't think it is much louder than the stock muffler.

I've been looking at these for a few days, found some I like on motorsticker(dot)com - matter of fact from the Netherlands. Ordered those to see how it goes.

Mine by estimate provide somewhere around 7 extra hp, very much like the new looks

Painting your wheel weights black to match the rim is worth another .68 HP

Motion Pro makes black wheel weights, no painting needed. And they add something like .71 HP!
