Congrads on that nice bike. What made you go with the exhaust you chose? I'm not sure any LR in this thread is running that exhaust.
Ike,
I'm running a similar setup, Rinehart Churchills (longer) and they're pretty mean.
I started a thread on my bike a while back out of pure excitement without thinking and should've just included it in yours. Great resource by the way. Lots of good contributions and I check this thread almost every day.
I chose mine because of hearing Rineharts on several different bikes and liking the consistency of the sound. I feel like the performance gain will be there with whatever equipment you choose and a proper tune,once you open these things up, so sound and look come next.
Also, a little PSA for the LR brotherhood...
I noticed a rear end sound that kind of seemed like either a belt tension problem or a bearing starting to go. It happened at certain RPM as opposed to certain speed so I surmised that it was a result of having a particular load on the motor. Anyway, took it to the dealer and made two different guys ride it because they said nothing was wrong. Left aggravated and started to investigate. Turns out the strut covers are a little loose and when you get just the right vibration happening (RPM) they squeal.
Don't know if anyone else has experienced this but if you do, inspect those covers and don't make an *** of yourself in public like I did.

Great looking bike. You take some impressive photos. Anyone buying a LR can save a lot of time by looking at all the many well done bikes in this thread. I used all the info in this thread when deciding on my aftermarket parts.

I have not had that issue. Glad it turned out to be something simple as opposed serious.
I have been on vacation for over a week. Hoping to be home sometime tomorrow. Soon as I can I am going for a ride too. I just picked up a Bell Pit Boss helmet, very nice.
