add two teeth to the rear... try not to minus them from the front, the chain has been known to eat into the swingarm with a 15t

as for pipes... i believe yoshis are the cheepest to get hold of, however im more of a fan of the FMF's

the akras are stupidly expensive... and once upon a time were the thing to have... but now there are cheaper and just effective pipes out there.

As for performance gains, you wont see much of a hp increase (that comes with the motobox) but your tip in into corners will be improved greatly (all slip ons are heaps lighter than the stock anchor).

I actually cant believe how hot the standard mufflers get. But yes get the Yoshi's really well made and sound great.

The rim on our bike is 5.5. You need a 6 inch rim for a 190 tyre.
Fitting a 190 on a 5.5 will alter the shape of that tyre.
Handling will be worse.
And... you could get rubbing problems.
