Theres about a $1000 difference between both setups, and more or less a 10whp of a difference on pump gas. Whether or not if its worth it to you is subjective.
When i was interested in this mod i was looking around and didn't seem to find much info on it and since i knew it was a popular mod to do around here, i thought id buy a new one and compare.

Here is a picture of the length difference
Pros
Helps keep you straighter out of a dead stop launch on the street
It's Lighter
Brings tires closer together which helps with traction and your E/Ts
Cons
Not as wide as stock
It depends where your from though, where i live the OEM heel guard setup is more than enough, and i can live with rocks hitting my hands every so often, it aint so bad with good gloves. That or ride behind the guy with the worse tires
i agree, but last thread he made he said he usually rode in wide open fields and drag raced alot. Everyone suggested serval for some reason. sounds to me like people just like repeating what they read.
