you are talking about the subframe right? The rear part of the frame that the can of the exhaust bolts on? All of that maintenance you mentioned is all you need to do. Except check for loose bolts every now and then.

ya the subframe i looked and figured out the allen screws are just badly loose quick fix and all haha is there a good website to buy stuff from like airfilters etc?? im thinkin bout having a uni filter and having it stick out is that a good idea?

Make sure that the holes the subframe bolts to are not wollared out. That could pose a problem later on. What do you mean by sticking out? There are many places to get parts, but not one in particular. I like to shop around for the best deals on parts. Ebay is a good place for good deals.

i have the stock header on my bike atm with a fmf tip but wanted to know whats a good site or something that i could get a good exhaust system from?

I shop at Dennis Kirk or Ebay. Pipesonly.com will be a good place to buy and exaust system from. By sticking out your filter I think you mean running an open airbox?
