Keep us informed on the V&H fishtails. I'm torn between them and the SE with sharkfins. The sharkfins remind me of a 47 knuck or a 48 pan.

I put the V&H fishtails on, easy job.....they sound awesome....i was affraid they might be too quiet, but nope..they sound very narly at idle and easy reving. at crusing speed, you have a sweet spot where they become nice and humm.
I did not put on the fuel pack, i dont see a need....nor did i change the air filter.

So you didn't get the bike FI remapped??? I thought that you had to do this - The remap/download/STAGE I is all I hear about every time I ask about exhaust changes.

Well, the pipes finally came in and I got them on. Piece of cake except for a stripped screw on the tip (came that way from V&H). They sound awesome. Not obnoxiously loud but plenty lound enough the neighbors know when I crank her up. Nice steady hum at cruising speed. I haven't decided whether or not to change the air filter or even rejet the carb. She's running pretty sweet as is. I've had no backfiring at all. No noticeable loss of torque at the low end either. And as far as the looks, I couldn't be happier. I'm gonna get some pics posted as soon as I get a chance.

Nope, i did nothing but change the pipe (slipons). I had been told the same by the "experts" (Friends and Family) that i needed to change the air filter and put in the fuelpack from V&H. When i bought the pipes at the parts guy ive been using he told me to just get the pipes and forget the fuelpack for now....he said ride it around, without the fuelpack and see what i think.....if i felt there is a problem, we could order it later. So far as SPRUNG stated i dont see any reason get the fuelpack (at the moment). Im sure ill do it, when the money is right or i get a bargin.
Maybe a group buy?
But for now im just lovin it the way it is.
The ride is in the shop, something with the valve stem leaking air from the sides near the base of the rim. I should get it back by tommorow.
