the exhaust's tickin like a clock! Feather light, actual carbon fiber, not just look-alike, weighs the same as the slipon I took out, has a really menacing growl on idle but to my surprise no more noise on revs than from the remus. The joint's leaking a bit but I'm gonna improve the seal when I get my hands on a piece of pipe that I can make a collar out of to weld into the intake of the muffler, don't want to weld it into the mid-section so I can put the remus back if I get tired of it.

Oh, uh..... so your serious about really using that as an exhaust?

Well different strokes for different folks. .

If you like it, that's all that matters, glad its working as you wanted.

It's a gray day, but it's not raining so I thought I'd tackle this one!

Thanks Mattson, I'm buying up some fun add-ons to do during the off season. I'll post pics in the "what have you done..." thread as I go...

Sorry about the challenge... I wasn't sure how International those types of signs might be... Something tells me you'll come back strong soon enough!

No worries, my bike`s apart again cause I have to install a pair of ugly-a$$ aux hi-beams to see in the morning, getting really dark here. Gonna fab something a bit more eye-pleasing when the white stuff comes...

I'm out I guess. Hit all the biker bars and bike service centers , didn't see a single dang sticker.

Not a 1 in a million shot but I think you gotta get real lucky to roll up on one of these and w/ a photo op.
