hey does any one know if i will need to get an aftermarket rear bumper if i get a Curtis Sparks x-4 becuz i have seen some pics where the end of the pipe sticks out past the stock grab bar... i would like to kno if any one else has had this problem? And if they have what kind of grab bar should i get?.. i just want something long enough to catch me if i go over doing a wheelie and not bending my brand new pipe.... i was looking at a couple kinds of DGs but i dont kno...
any help would be appreciated

I have an x-4 and it did stick past the grab bar. This is the old model though. I am not sure if they shortened it any for the new model with the modular endcap.

I shortened the can on mine by 2". Stops 1/2" short of the grab bar. Didn't really make it noticably louder. My ears only bleed a little more.. lol. (not a quiet pipe, especially on a 330.. lol).

I always toss on the stock carb and stock pipe when in a riding area near any population.
