Default New pipes w/ pics

Got a good deal off of Ebay the other day, so I thought I'd share the results with you. I had Rush 2.25" slip ons before. These new pipes are Bassani 2:1. My bike runs noticeably smoother. It's a lot more responsive, and also little quieter. Which is good for me because it's a lot easier on my ears on the highway now. I was afraid it would be too quiet like some of the other 2:1 systems I've heard, but the Bassani has a deep rumble that I can dig. I've got a power commander, and I was wondering if any of ya'll knew of a good tuner in North TX?

Looks Good. It might be a little far North for you, but Dean at Metric Tech in McKinney is one of the best tuners around here.

Very nice, clean look...and doesn't that black paint just bring out the chrome and powder coated cylinder fins just right? Goes faster too!

Yeah, I need to get it tuned. If you don't mind, PM me some info on how to get a hold of your tuner. If you look at the pic you can see where it's starting to yellow at the collector part of the muffler. I've got a heat shield to cover it with, I just like it better without.
