Thanks for clearing that up. They do look good.

I usually hit quote, copy, and then paste into a single post then upload if that makes any sense.

I'm getting a bunch of popping on decel and an occasional backfire when starting... should I be looking at a re-tune?

Running D&D Cobras and a Screaming Eagle big breather. Allegedly the dealer mapped it...

Sorry for the 3 straight posts. I was responding to different people and didn't think to combine the quotes into 1 post.
I'm not sure, the only part that wouldn't fit is where the rack curls upwards at the end, and just looking at your sig. photo, i don't know whether it would curl upwards high enough to hit your sissy bar pad.. I'm pretty sure theres plenty of clearance, but not completely confident

here's some more pictures of the rack, before I shook the box around and realized they sent me the black hardware.

I get compliments on the Denim paint most of the time actually. I tell that that's standard and I didn't have it done. But it feels good to be noticed. Cars usually don't get that praise unless it's something customized or rare.
I rode mine to the gym the other night and got some of the same reactions from some high school aged kids. The denim and the blacked out look got their attention.

if it's a new exhaust sometimes you need to re-torque the bolts. they do come loose give a bad seal and there you go. unless it did that from day one with the exhaust
