Cant post pics from my phone. Dam file to large. W post in morn.
Had called dealer and only had 2 gaskets in stock. Parts guy said w such a new bike i should be fine. Wound up putting all new in and am much happier. I alsi took lolas advice n taped frame to protect from scratches. Was a great idea! No scratches till i used a plastic edge to scrape n got cpl small ones. Use ur fingers only on frame.
This pipe sounds mean n nasty. Winds up quick to a howling scream. I shift later in higher rpms now. And when u let off throttle in gear she growls n hisses at u. Very happy w this pipe. Sounds great , inexpensive compared to what u get, keeps center stand. No modification.

I've been looking at this setup and I have a question: are the header pipes attached to the engine with springs? I'm pretty sure the muffler attaches to the header end that way. If so, what are your thoughts on it?
