Delkevic 9" and a bunch of other small mods - Pictures!
#1



Hi all!

I spent a few hours today installing a Delkevic 9" muffler and stainless exhaust. I also fitted some new mirrors, a milled oil cap from a fellow member, and plasti-dipped panels.

I'm going to do a full frame re-paint, tank re-paint and spoked wheels next year, so I decided to go ahead with some simple mods to see what I like.

If anyone wants links, I'm happy to post them. I can also make some videos of the new pipes and how they sound.

A quick review:
Pros
- Deeper sound at idle, but not too loud
- Amazing upper-end howl
- Competitive price
- Superb fit and finish
- Easy installation (at least once I made a 17mm O2 sensor tool from a husky wrench)
Cons
- No instructions in the box
- Maybe a few too many pops on deceleration

In anticipation of new wheels next year, I did a (terrible) gold rim tape to see if I liked it.

I've also got a Renthal bar, Renthal grips, Emgo windshield and a couple of other bits. Anyway, on to photos.

Let me know if you want videos to hear the new setup! I'd also be happy to show folks how to make a simple O2 sensor tool or do a tutorial on the whole process. I made mistakes that are easy to rectify if you know what to do.

I should mention that with the O2 sensor reinstalled in the new collector, I've had no warning lights and no fueling issues. Delkevic really did their homework. This kit is insanely well done for the money.

Edit:
For those wondering, I'm sporting Metzler Z8s for tires. I've also replaced the signal lights with some I bought from a fellow forumer member that they sourced from Samurider.
