I agree, I was on the limb about going with a black or chrome pipe.... He just helped me make up my mind.

Truly a beautiful pipe and the power increase was immediate and significant. I'm having some problems with chrome bubbling on the end cap though. Anyone else experience this?

Install did not go as smooth as I hoped. I got everything installed and fired the bike up. The pipe sounded great but I noticed the heat shield for the front cylinder was hitting the frame and took a nice chunk of paint off where it was hitting. I tried moving the shield around but it was still extremely close. So, I had to break out the dremel and notch out the heat shield so it wouldn't hit the frame. I also had to drill out a hole in the transmission bracket since the hole spacing was to narrow. I hope to have everything buttoned up tomorrow and I'll get some pics.
