Default Almost done, for now.

Today's round of mods performed at "Rosie's Speed Shop" (a buddy in my MC) included putting on Bassani Down Under True Duals, DNA slip-ons (still awaiting the new reverse slash tips), the Arlen Ness Naked Monster Sucker A/C and new tune. Still need to paint and put on the Arlen Ness rear fender skirt extender. I have an audio clip I've tried posting, but not sure it'll work. If not, I'll keep trying. As is the case with my engraved tank dash, I know the sound of this exhaust combo won't be for everyone, but I was looking for deep, throaty, preferably erring on the side of a little louder versus quieter, and with a touch of rawness/nastiness. I think I'm there, but I'll see how it changes over the next 1,000 or so miles as the slip-ons break in. As for the pics, I again apologize for the black spots on the lens of my iPhone camera.

Sounds great! The engraving on your dash is awesome. I can't decide to to go louder yet. I'm still listening to the stereo on my new Ultra. Enjoy!

Your bike looks and sounds great! I run the Ness/Bassani combo on my Dyna and love the nastiness! Keep us posted!

Thanks for your dash compliment. I hear what you're saying and I like my tunes too, but I think I'm gonna be okay. We'll see. There's always a way to get Bluetooth earbuds.

That's the best sounding exhaust i've heard so far for the M8 wish i had heard that before i bought another brand.
