Lol that would be kind of funny. The upswept part is actually part of the heatshield. The actual exhaust pipe actually ends right about where the passenger peg would be. It feels quite a bit more responsive on the throttle as well. Haven't changed the tune yet, I use a Mac and we all know PC doesn't work with Mac's :-(

the headlight ring is 1 screw on the bottom, then twist the ring like 1/2 inch counter-clockwise, and pull off.. to get the parts behind it off, there's 6 bolts holding most of it together, but to pull the pieces off you have to remove the whole headlight from its mounting bracket

and I run 3 OS's at once depending on what i'm doing.. Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.6, and Ubuntu 10.10

Yes, I've got those on order with the dealer but I'm wondering if they have all the Lo-specific, color-specific, HD and non-HD mods these people have on here in all the different combos. This thread is a wealth of info but it's kind of un-wieldy now. Lots of good comments about prior posts but you have to go back and forth, sometimes several pages (and which one?) to see what people are referring to. Such is life, I guess. Life would be even better with DSL or cable instead of dial up and satellite.

I just don't use Windows enough to pay for the parallel software, I used to have windows under boot camp but I erased it. I am on an older MacBook and just do not want to use 15GB of storage to have Windows just to change my power commander tune once. I am gonna borrow my buddy's PC Saturday and probably have it Dyno'd this summer.

hahaha if only a cup holder could be mounted without being melted, those would almost be practical.

yeah i really have no point in all three, but it's nice to be able to test different programs on different OS's..

Thank you, I actually debated on exhaust for awhile and this happened to be the first one I picked out when I first got the bike. Gut instinct is usually the right way to go.

Great information and input on this thread. Just wanted to post a couple of pictures of mine. 525 Feuling Reaper cams. 5 inch Wide Glide risers. Black this and black that. Pirelli tires...No more head shake from the Dunlops. Custom cut windshield.

I guess I won't. I guess they are attached but don't display. I can't get pictures to load from FlickR.
