There is a gasket in the stock crossover pipe that you have to be careful with. Fuel Moto has a video on You Tube that shows how install their pipe and talks about the gasket.
It seems I don't have a gasket there ...??? It's a used bike and seems to be full of surprises. This is just one more. Quick trip to tidewater tomorrow and I should be alright.
so I installled the new gasket, and was a lot easier thsan I hoped thanks for a couple threads on the forums....went out and got myself a pipe expander, worked like a charm. Exhaust is nice and tight, and the sounds is ....louder, but i dont know if i like it, seems to sound more like a quad now ?
anyhow, my question is is to those that have the 2-1-2 pipe......do you feel like the handle bars have more vibration in them since the install?? Call me crazy, but thats the first thing I noticed....i have no idea why.....does this make any sense ?
No vibe increase here. Make sure the mount points are tight. The 2 times my hanger bracket broke on my v&h on my last bike it vibrated. I will never consider power duels again. I am happy with the fuel moto header.
