I just got some Cobra tri-oval pipes for my Voyager 1700 with the Cobra FI2000 fuel module. These aren't load pipes, I'm going for a little more power, not noise.

Contact Roger at Rocky Mountain Kawasaki in Longmont, Colorado, 303 651 2453. They're giving AVA members a great discount on these parts. Yes they'll ship. This all came up at the AVA Rally where Roger told us what they'd been doing to 1700 Voyagers to get them some more power. Again you'll have to be an AVA member.

Yes they changed the Exhaust system on the 2015 Voyager it now has O2 sensors.

You can have a local machine shop weld a threaded bung in the pipe for the oxygen sensor. Should not cost much.

I like that the system is now going to be closed loop. Now just waiting for Kawasaki to come out with a color that will make me just have to trade my '10 in on. Love some of the Vaquero colors, but the price difference makes holding out for a Voyager a no-brainer.
