Busso Slip-On and DLX Seat

[Cobalt23_imp]

Over the past month or so I changed my seat to a '14 DLX and installed a Busso Silencers slip on.

Thanks to Desert Viper for the seat and advice on adjusting the passenger grab handles to look correct.

Busso Silencers slip-on in matte black. I looked a long time to find the combination of looks/performance/sound/price (with no impact to center stand and tune). I ordered it during the middle of the Covid shutdown in Italy so it took a few months to receive it. It has a removable DB killer and right now I have it removed but may eventually quiet it down a bit later. Either way it seems to have a positive impact on low & mid range response. Also has a very nice decel burble that I cannot get enough of right now!!!!!!

My bike is getting close to my vision I had in mind when I purchased it last year, still enjoying it although searching for an Africa Twin currently to add to the garage.:biker:

Looks very elegant and handsome !!

Is the DLX seat a bit taller?

Nice... never heard of that exhaust system.

Hmmm. Me either. It kinda disappears. I bet it does sound good!

I can't understand how people leave those stickers on the tank. That paint is too gorgeous to cover up with those eyesores! Rant over.

Seat definitely looks taller/plushier than the '17+ EX

Also never heard of that particular pipe before, please do share a sound clip at some point..

Funny, my bike didn't come with the stickers and I've been looking to add them.

Thanks!

It is a little taller but not by much. It has been modified by Spencers Seats.

I have some cell phone vids of before, after and w/o DB killer. I also have some screen shots of an app with DB readings. I will have to figure out how to post???

Most important is that the bike looks good. I like the look of the black pipe.

Videos? Get a YouTube account, upload the videos and link to them.

Muffler looks good.
I also never heard of this brand.

That is a cool looking muffler and I'll bet it sounds good too. Do they make it in chrome?

They make it in chrome, brushed finish, black and black matte

 

[E11even_Hunnit]

I dig the brushed metal finish on this one.

I've noticed SO much more aftermarket support for our bikes in Europe and Asia. Guess we're just that unlucky since freight costs an arm and a leg hy:

 

[Cobalt23_imp]

Yes, I liked that a lot too but have been trying to tone down the shiny chrome just a little. Everyone remember the Mugen project CB1100 that was my original inspiration so just subtle changes was my plan.

Thanks Cobalt, they're nice looking! I like the black but my OCD would go nuts if it wasn't black from the headers on out. That's just me though. I currently have the Arrow and I like it but this has an interesting shape. The Arrow is really just a smaller version of the original. With a removable baffle though

I agree about the stainless header . . . I have thought about buying another one and having it coated somehow . . . powder coat, jet, etc?
