I thought id share the experience.
This was my first real ride Ive taken on the wing. Its been in my garage for the last three years as I scraped up the funds to fuel my tinkering, and its VERY close to that 'done' stage (but they're never really done, are they?)
I went about 150 miles down through the Ozarks. The weather was perfect, the roads were all but empty, just me. Rolling corner after corner. Its days like these that justify every bit of effort thats gone into this project and the feedback and knowledge you guys shared were absolutely invaluable. Sincerely thank you for everything you guys do.
Vanessa's maiden voyage.
I cant wait for the next one.
Took a nice ride

Re: Took a nice ride
Bike looks great...is that just straight pipe exhaust or what did you use? How's it sound?

Re: Took a nice ride
It is just straight pipe, exiting right after the header.
I think it sounds pretty great! At low idle its got that lobe like a cammed engine. Its not annoyingly loud either, except for maybe at 7am.. even then, only if you're my neighbor
