Default WOO HOO got my bike back today

Brought her home from surgery this afternoon, after about a month of not being able to ride thanks to a snapped drive belt AND a shot primary chain. Figured it was a good time to swap the exhaust from the 2-into1 to a true dual and some brand spankin new mufflers, MAN oh man what a great difference, mostly in the sound. If anything, the performance improved. Not so much in AMOUNT of power, but the power moved up, now I can pass on the highway like you're sittin still, and didn't affect bottom end that I can tell, definitely not enough to make me regret swapping pipes..

Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy ...

The 2/1 exhaust police will be here soon to slap you senseless. Lol...glad the true duals are wor king for you. I have Rinehart true duals and love the sound and like my indy/tuner said you won't feel the difference on the street...so buy what you like.

A month?!! For just those two items and an exhaust system?!! Are you nuts? That's a days job, tops, two for someone in my condition. There's no indies around you?

Not a month to do the job, it was down for a month, first because of available slots to get me in at the dealer, and then waiting a week for the primary chain to show up. The bike was done in a few hours. And there are no indies within reasonable driving distance that I would trust. The exhaust I did with a pal of mine in a couple hours.
