Funny you mention the sawzall as I had it in my hand when I was removing the stock system. I thought I was the only one. Couldn't bring myself to do it so wrestled a bit more with the stocker and finally won. I should have taken the sawzall to the t-rex I just took off my bike and shipped them back to the vendor in small pieces. LOL

Pipes, or should I say "Pipe" arrived about twenty minutes ago. Kewl!!

Actually have read the instructions prior to begining work on something. Stuff doesn't look too awful hard to do, so I am ready to get after it. One tiny detail yet to address,,,,,,

My ride is a carb (last of a dying breed), I know that It needs to be re-jetted the issue is, the dealer is about 10 miles away, will I do any damage if I ride it over to be jetted?


Thanks

You should be fine to the dealer. I don't think you will need much. I went from SE slip ons to Rinehart Duals and the carb was fine. No pops on decel and no coughing on accel. Sounds great. When I read in the Rinehart INSTRUCTIONS to use window cleaner on the joints I thought BS but it works. It helped get the old joints apart and the new ones together without a big mess to clean up. I would were gloves at least for the assembly and be VERY CAREFULL about finger/hand prints before you start the beast. You don't want them on there permanently. Enjoy

Outf*%^*%^standing,

I got the pipes on last night, and Whoaaaaaa, they are awsome.

Took it to the dealer to have the jetting check (as well as the install).

Bottom Line is: The bike runs and sounds TERRIFIC, will get it dyno'd here shortly.

Rolling thunder is going to take up my weekend, no more stealth riding.

Rinehart 2-1 check em out!!!

Thanks for all the advice folks
