I live in Ottawa but grew up on the 'wet coast' in British Columbia. We park our bike outside. Looking at a bunch of the other megaphone type tips, probably not a big issue but I would prefer a turn down regardless.
Let me know how your testing goes - I just ordered the bike today, won't likely do an exhaust before winter. Wanted to do the Werkes piece but want to ensure I have fueling sorted first - not sure which tuning module to buy yet, still sorting that out.
cheers,
Andrew
