haha, I see you dragged those pipes as much as I did and cut the tips off too!
Yep they were throwing sparks regularly. The front pipe had drag marks all the way up the length of the pipe. It was so damaged at the tip that I could not pull out the baffle to install TTI's. I installed 12" progressive shocks to help the dragging. It did help a bit, though I still drag the Patriot Defender but not nearly as much.
Mine is a 2008 105 anniversary special, lots of bling and nice pipes stock.
Rebuild of engine now gets about 17 KM per liter, less than original but still not bad. Wouldn't trade her for the world. (And in Israel you won't get squat for her anyway!)
Really like the SportsGlide look, many entries worthy of note (so I won't!)
Cheers to all,
