I'm curious as to what Honda's reason was for saying that the exhaust was deemed incompatible, did they tell you? Generally when a manufacturer indicates that a performance upgrade is not advisable there is a reason like safety to the operator, like in the case a street bike a burn on the leg due to the position and size adjustment of the new components. Or sometimes the say that the component performs adversely meaning (for exhaust) the reduction in back pressure can cause a engine to run extremely poor.

If Honda did not give that information it might be a good idea to get it from them. If they won't give it to you, don't be afraid to take your bike to another shop for a 2nd opinion.

Sometimes shops might have a agenda to push certain parts as they get perks. While we don't want to say or is it easy to prove that this is the case, 2nd opinions are never bad.
