Default Gettin there...

Took a nice cruise up the coast and down the Ozello Trail this afternoon. Hit a little bit of rain around Homosassa Springs and pulled over for a bite to eat. By the time we finished up it was passed and the roads were already dry again! Only got another 150 miles to go to my first service. Then it's time to get some good soundin' exhaust and a new a/c put on 'er...

I'm actually considering just doing some slip-on's this time around. Goin' cheap and tryin' to keep within budget. I've been researchin' some Python's I seen on the DK site. Customer reviews show it down the middle in sound "deep tone, not over bearing". Although I've always had V&H on just about every bike I've owned. So I'm still lookin' their direction as well. I always have a hard time with decisions until it's right down to the wire!

Don't buy anything until you see and hear these in person. Badest mufflers I've seen IMO. Fuel Moto 4" Slash-up's

Keep the stock exhaust and change out the headpipe first, or do a rReese and cut the dam thing out. then get the pipes.

BlueDragon, I must have just missed you. I wanted to put some miles on Saturday, so I rode over to Gulf Coast HD, then to Crystal River HD, past the Ozello Trail to 44, to Gator HD, and then home. I guess I should let you know I'm coming your way next time.
