Default New Sound...New Pipes!

Early Bday gift from DW to me and #lilblue...

Vance And Hines Straight Shots! About 1.5 hrs total and viola...the RUMBLE that I've been looking for. Very pleased with the look and sound. FM - Jamie sent me a new base MAP and it's all loaded up. Just need to run a few AT's and all will be great I'm sure. THOUGH now the MAP is working super. NO decel pops, didn't before, and power feels very good.

First pic is with OEM pipes. Signature pic has new V&H.

#youareneverdone

Ride safe friends!

First pic is BEFORE with stock pipes that I modified. Was almost dust when I finished so the final pic will be soon...

Did some autotuning which was successful. I stopped to flash it back to the ECU and decided I may as well grab a photo as its somewhere else other than my garden (yard?). Just as well I did as my license plate was hanging on by one bolt with a couple of threads to go...

Finally got around to modifying my fairing to use the quick release clamps. Used adapter plates from BungKing and HD clamps.

Nice job. I have those QR clamps and they are excellent.

Just saw this post...
Can't imagine what that must have sounded like.
Sorry you had to experience that.

Amen on the BETTER
