I ordered 2 of these and they just came in and are pretty nice. I'm going to mount them in the saddlebags for tool storage. For about 20 bucks shipped I'll give them a try

pre 09 2:1 add on stock headpipe with falsee mod

My addition for two things, 1-Using the newer style pipes on your older frame and 2-adding a falsee to keep the dual look using the old stock pipes from pre 09 models

Garage door opener add on

Heres a suppliment for people wanting to add the GDO mod to their bike but...never want to change the battery again.

Use a LM7809 voltage regulator in place of your 9v battery. This device regulates the 12V from your "switched" side of your battery to the 9v that most garage dor openers require for use. Its small and SIMPLE to wire in. This will allow you to hide the remote anywhere forever and not have to replace a battery.

There are 3 poles on the bottom the the device, an input (12v+ pin 1) an out (9v+ pin 3) and a ground (- pin 2)
With the flat tab laying down, and facing away from you the pins are labeled as left to right 1,2,3
Heres a pic.

cost is around $1 dollar (how much was that 9 volt battery?) http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...artnumber=7809

Simply solder the 12v from the SWITCHED side of your on off keyswitch to pin 1, ground to pin 2 (this also will jumper over to your garage door opener black wire) , and the output to your opener red wire.
Would always be a good idea to add .5 amp fuse on the 12V+ input wire.

Hope this helps everyone!
