Be careful, you'll be blinding people and they could run over you while in a light induced frenzy... or a couple miles down the road while texting their friends about it.

My seat was delivered today.

I ordered it from Corbin. That's where I got the seat for the Yamaha, and I was well pleased with that seat. They custom build each seat to your specs, and you pay a lot for it. The picture I posted earlier is from their configurator. I called and went over it in detail with Janice. This is what I got...



As you can see, it's quite different from what I expected.

I could have probably lived with that. But the back rest for the tour pack is ridiculous.



The tops of the arms and the wrap around should be black. I only wanted white on the outside arm rest panels.

And the saddle should have an extra blue band running between the driver and passenger seats.... And the welt should go all the way around....

I put them on the bike to test fitment, but as of now they are back in the box awaiting pick up from fed ex tomorrow.... Back to Cali.... With notes and masking tape labels on how to fix my shit..... Probably cost me a month. Which means the body shop won't get the work until May.... And they'll be busier... And it will take even longer.....


Balls.


But on a positive note, I found out that Victory Brewing is bringing Sour Monkey back on July 1st.

Wow, that sucks. For what Corbin charges the shit should be spot on.

Today's job was replacing the stock mufflers. I went with Vance and Hines dual Slash cut rounds.

Stock mufflers off. 3 bolts per side.





This bike is much easier to work on than the Yamaha.

The new slip ons:





The hardest part was getting the old pipes to come off after 11 years. Had to break out the wd40 and the rubber mallet.

The new ones went on with minimal jiggling and a few taps from the mallet.



Sounds much more better

I listened to a few other guys' on YouTube but it doesn't do it justice. I'm sure you've heard the sound. It sounds like a Harley.

or did you mean when i had the old mufflers off, but not yet put on the new? no, I didn't video that either, but I DID start it up and rev it a bit. Couldn't resist. It's way too loud like that. The Yamaha is almost that loud, with it's 2.75" straights... but that one borders on too loud. I wanted this to be loud enough to hear me inside a car, but not so loud that I annoy my neighbors.

He's a fraud. I see the tats, leathers, and shades, but he blew the disguise with the grampa's slippers/boat shoes.
Whatever they are, they ain't even close to appropriate for stomping old ladies and small animals.
Look away Mr Brando, you shouldn't have to see this.
