Hi all,
Newbie here. I'm due to take delivery of my green 2014 Ninja 1000 in a week and I'm keen to get some advice on a few parts.
Firstly, luggage. I'm coming from a V Strom with big Givi panniers and a top box, which provided heaps of storage for me and the missus. I'd like to get the new integrated panniers, but it seems that you can't have them AND the top box together. Is this correct? If so, the is a major come down. Are there any solutions/alternatives?
Second, the muffler. While I love the Ninja, it sounds pretty lame. I'm looking for something that creates a deeper, louder sound. I like to be visible and audible on my bike, for safety. I heard the M4 slip-on on YouTube and it sounds pretty sweet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOdfgMVoQXs - is this a good option? Will it be compatible with the pannier bags?
Also, while I'm blowing cash, are there any other must have items? Eg crash knobs - are they necessary?
Grateful for any feedback.
Cheers
Reece
