Default my '89 with Yoshimura!

Well I fabricated a midpipe for this pipe. stock jets, bike rips really good with this new muffler. I left it long/uncut because I didn't want it to crazy loud, yet it's very very loud...

No flat spots or aything, I'll have to inspect the plugs to make sure i'm not running lean, but the only time it pops is on deceleration, it'll shoot out blue flames... Sound really good though, i'm happy. What do you guys think of the bike?

Also re-wrapped the Corbin seat.

Thanks guys, the seat isn't new, I just re-wrapped it. First time ever, borrowed a friend's sewing machine. I even used blue string or whatever to match the bike, LOL

I thinkit looks great all around. sharp looking bike and the pipe looks great. nice work on the seat as well. I have the corbin gunfighter "lady" version, so it has more of a rear seat. wish it was more like yours looks wise, but I was just glad to get one for $25 (I think thats what I payed) so I will live with it. nice job with the cover, it does look great! now, got a soundclip?? and seriously, I think you would notice a difference with a jet kit, and when you need to redo the chain/sprockets re-gear it, that made a HUGE difference for me and I am fine with not getting a super high top speed.

Actually just spent 100 bucks on a new chain. I decided not to re-gear it, as the bike is a commuter, and i like keeping the revs fairly low on the freeway. I'll get you guys a soundclip this evening
