I'm a kind hearted SOB, but in my book, roaches of any kind and mice/rats need killing. After wrecking my car avoiding a indecisive squirrel, they will get run-dover if they get in my way too.
Relocating mice simply infests another location... Have had too many dealings with roaches and mice over the years to have any sympathy... Good luck. tp

Was installing new exhaust torque cones into the head pipe. While reinstalling the nut on the stud the stud broke off. Had to order new studs. What a PITA trying to remove that broken stud. Now that they're in along with new gaskets the bike rumbles nicely. I'm hoping I get back some of the lost torque with those torque cones.

Tucked mine away in my friend's garage for a couple of months. Put the battery on a tender, dumped some Seafoam into the tank and put a cover on. Sad time...

I ran CFR slip ons for several months but took them off because I lost all bottom end torque. I'm now running the cvo slip ons with these torque cones. As soon as I put the CFR's back on and can run then a few miles I'll write a review post in this touring section.
For now I'm not noticing a difference in power but it did change the exhaust note a tad. It made the pipes have a bit of a raspy note to them.
The CFR's have a really deep tone to them anyway. It'll be interesting to hear them now. I plan on putting them back on either tomorrow or Thursday and then I'll put some miles down to write something up.

Hammerhead Pat...What's the benefit to the Hayden M6 chain tensioner vs, the OEM? Were you getting a lot of "slapping" in the primary?
