Almost done! I will try to post more and better pics later today.
Jaron........The way these pipes are custom made our turn signals behind the forward control mount won't work. That 1/8 of an inch causes the brake rod to come in contact with the front pipe. I am this __ close to just cutting the signals loose. I don't have the heat shields on in this picture either.

We copied Hickey's mod to put the front sigs down to the forwards!! He means the 1/8 flat stock we used between the forwards and the frame.

Well it's done! All I can say is Impressive both in looks and sound. Although I didn't have to wait 1-2 months to get mine I understand why the wait is worth it. The install was fairly easy although the website says a child could do it and I say NOT. The stock exhaust mounts and gaskets and flanges are not used. The stock front mount has 3 bolts underneath and 2 are the "B" word to get out. Rb Racing sells a special torx ratchet to get these out and is probably worth it since that took the longest. I had to sacrifice one of my torx bits by cutting it in half to get the 2 out. The new mount was easy to install and attaches to 3 of the lower outer transmission bolts. It comes with 3 new bolts and spacers. There is one other heat shield that is not in the pics. It is a bigger shield and goes farther back. I think I may leave it off.
I can't compare this pipe to anything other than slip ons. The sound is hard to describe. It's loud but not too loud and kinda has a deep throaty sound but not too deep if that makes sense. I did notice a big increase in throttle response and the more you twist the better it sounds.
