Couple of questions.. I have always like the 2-1 pipes... what is the sound difference if any. And do you have a link to the vent bowl mod?

RE: "List Your Mods" Thread
When I picked the bike up, the previous owner had installed a crash bar, new grips and SEII's with a Stage 1 upgrade. Since then I've added detachable sissy bar with tapered luggage rack, "Ride to Live" medallion, laydown license plate mount, chrome voltage regulator cover,auxillary brake light module w/red lenses, turn signal relocation, headlight and turn signal visors, and a Sundowner seat.I plan on the color matched side covers, a chrome upper belt guard, and some Kuryakyn Switchblade pegsin the future, among other things...

RE: "List Your Mods" Thread
At idle it sounds like a Harley, but when you're in the throttle it sounds like a muscle car. I can best describe it as sounding like the 67 Fastback in the movie Bullitt.
that is exactly what it sounded like. Problem was that it was the single loudest exhaust
system i ever ran. I expected to see the neighbors standing on my front lawn some evening
with pitch forks and torches. That and it set off every car alarm on every street... all of the time.

Hey XL OCD I don't see you mentioning that you changed your stock 883 cams along with the 1200 conversion and Stage II head work. Is that right?

I went out in the garage and was looking at it trying to figure out what it was. [:@] Yup, add the SE .551 cams to my list!

Man but you have a fine ear. I ran a Vance & Hines Pro pipe on an earlier Sporty and
that is exactly what it sounded like. Problem was that it was the single loudest exhaust
system i ever ran. I expected to see the neighbors standing on my front lawn some evening
with pitch forks and torches. That and it set off every car alarm on every street... all of the time.

Here's a clip. Warning - it may be life changing. The Python sounds like the Dark Highland Green car that Steve McQueen (aka God) is driving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4f6b57kLmE
Thanks for sharing man... i never get tired of that.
