ohhh, alright. It looks awesome. I think i would be rather scared to cut my tail though. You do yours yourself?

 

nope, i had someone else do it. i'm not mechanically inclined, let alone confident enought to cut my own bike....i can barely set the radio stations in my car

 

nice pit in ur sig. Like the front signals. I would suggest cutting the heat shield closer to the fender for a cleaner look till u get an exaust. I got a dremmel and did it myself and it looks so much better. Nice bike

 

Yup, definitely cut or lose the heat shield, polish that pipe up, and don't worry about it!!!

You have all sorts of sweet stuff on all your rides then. Nice job....

 

so i can just get rid of the heat shield all together? doesn't it serve a purpose? i was scared to cut it along theplastic because i thought that everything under and around the back seat would melt or warp. is this not the case? i have no problem cutting that myself, but just thought it had to stay on there until i got different exhaust, no? what is the best thing to use for cutting it (dremmel, tin shears...)?

btw, chris thanks for the compliment on the pit. he's one of my 3 kids.

I love pits, they get such a bad rap, but most of them are good dogs. I had a boxer for years and they remind me of it.

 

bike looks great papi! black out all that silver and youve got yourself a stealth flighter....[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

To answer your question, i'm not the only one that's simply removed the heat shield---and no one i know of has had any problem. It will be hotter for anyone sitting on the back, but i've been checking regularly and i've had no issues with anything melting or getting to hot.
