Default Martin Brothers Shockwaves Installed

Installed my Martin Brothers Shockwave pipes today. Took about 1½ hours to get the stock pipes off and the new ones on. Think it makes the bike look a whole lot better! Still have to put on a 2½" tank lift and front turn signal relocation, mirrors, and shift linkage.

I have uploaded two videos to the You Tube site of the Martin Brothers Shockwaves. Let me know what you think!

I like it. Does having the bike on a jack make the installation easier?

Made it a lot easier as I could sit on my shop roller seat and didn't have to bend over as much.

Martin Brothers also makes Daisy Cutters and Madustas and You Tube has videos with sound at"

Thanks Tom. I thought the curves of the Shockwaves and black exhaust matched really well with the Danny Gray seat.
