2011 48. Some upgrades maybe?
i'd like to put it down there on the shock.. one dude on a youtube vid (one of you from here) had it down there and bent around kinda.. not sure how he did that.

For my bike 160mmx80x16 is the next new rear tire size, conservative is being 150mm, some say 180mm thats pushing it with the stock swing arm setup, my goal for the future is 200mm, but that will involve swing arm, belt drive and pulley drive work & modification. The idea is to have a bad *** 48 by the end of 2012 with 90-93 hp at the rear wheel, so we still have 18 months to go.

I also just picked up a 48 a little over a week ago, and like the look of the stock exhaust. To make it a little louder I plan on installing the Vance & Hines Straightshots HS slip-ons. Search around on youtube to check out some different sounds. You can pretty much find any slip-ons/pipes you can put on the 48 and have a listen.
really?? what is the process of doing something like that. i'll search around and see what i find though about it too Rowdy.
(watching this video right now)
Just drill them out like that eh?
thanks on the tire size! Yours looks good Nickyg! that little luggage rack looks interesting too.. mm.

omg.. that was SO worth the $25 spent for the extension and 1in whole bit.
It sounds F'N BAD ***!!

Didn't remove anything.. just stuck it up there and drilled. little 2mm think plugs where laying in the exhaust.. turn her on and they come fly'n out.

I've heard the V & H's slip ons and really liked the sound. So that's really my only reasoning for picking them. Still haven't gotten around to ordering them yet though....
