Sorry no pics yet. soon I'll some. but anyway. I just finished off some of my mods for this yr. the engine is very strong and revs very fast. I just completed my Headlight setup, wiring mods, the exhuast went from being 105 db to 140 db all by cutting 12" off the can. my muffler is know 8" long. I lost some topend power but O my God the midrange is so strong its not funny. 2nd and 3rd gear power wheelies no problem. a new set of 909 bars, I set the suspension up with 25mm of sag. normaly you would setup with 30 - 32 mm but i wanted hardcore. the bike has so much feed back I can feel the road alot better. stoppies are so much better too. next yr i want to get carbon fiber frnt fender, rear hugger, and a one piece Tail. and a set of PM rims. O and by the way even with a powerCommander set up to run with my mods and the exhuast. since i removed the pair valve and left the ports open on the valve cover a nice 6 - 8" flame come out when you snap the throttle wot ans closed. the tech that setup the power commander did it with the ports blocked off to get the air/fuel reading correct. the tech said its doing this because of the raw fuel mixing with fresh air. hitting the hot pipes. nothing is going to hurt the engine its just going to burn out the packing in the muffler alot faster. Next time I should have some pics. till then you will have to wait.
