Doing the exhaust now that the swingarm is done.
Got the stock exhaust off, 26.4 lbs. Will have to finish Sunday.
I did notice the acorn nuts that hold it on where all over the place concerning tightness, 2 seemed just over finger tight. Is that part of the 1st check-up I never did?

Everyone should check these...........

Exhaust and swingarm in. Both went smooth. The exhaust took a little time, without english instructions I had to do a mock install to make sure I knew what was going on. The exhaust came together perfect on the bike. I was dreading it because I know how fiddley an 8 piece exhaust should be, this one fell into place both times. Fit and finish are over the top amazing. I really like the length of the mufflers.
Swapping out the exhaust and removing the center stand I shaved 15.2 over stock. The new swingarm is 13.2 lbs lighter too.
All together a total of 28.4 lbs lighter, that's a huge number in the bike world.

Now it's install the Power Commander time, since it's pouring rain out.

Wow, I really like the look of that exhaust. It tucks very nicely underneath.

That is a very sharp looking set of pipes. Really like the symmetrical look., and 28 pounds is a heck of a savings although I would hate to lse my centerstand.

Absolutely stunning !

yes!!!! that looks great Ack!!! we need a photoshoot of this beaut!

DAMN! That looks sick! Can't wait to hear it and read a full performance report. To be honest though, after buying that new swingarm, I'd HAVE to be able to see it on one side of the bike anyway!
Hell, who am I kidding? You guys make us commoners very envious.
I'm not to crazy about the Yosh canister I have on mine, but the price was just too good to pass up. I'm thinking a great Christmas present to myself would be a new boxed aluminum swingarm......................and if Kerker or V&H would get off their asses and make a black 4-into-1 megaphone I would pay whatever price they demand.
Nice work man.
And your banking info is??????????

closer and closer to full retro, including weight.

time for a professional photoshoot. (a model in a bikini in the pictures woul be nice).

The exhuast tone is what I was hoping for. A bit of a low end growl, like 4x4 has then smooths out to a nice, almost 4 into 1 buzz above 2 grand. You can ride normal w/o hard throttle and it's just about stock quite. I cruised for a 1/4 mile at 60 with a full face on and was no bother at all, the wind niose was louder.
I'm going to try my Kodak Easy Share camera tomorrow for some video drive-by's at different RPM's. We'll see if it works or not...

***Notice the radius on the head pipe, it has a rounder bend to it.
