I ask because the ECM upgrade is planned for this summer, but been hesitant to do the scoop upgrade too just because it further obscures that iconic engine, which is already nearly invisible, especially on my blacked-out '09.
That's a very interesting POV. I think most people would rather hide that engine in this sport bike lol.
you could compromise and go with the "mini" scoop which came on I believe the 2010 xb's, or maybe it was the 09's. I put it on my bike, it was only like $18 or something from HD.
