There is a little red band that goes with em. It looks really cool around your handlebars.
Congrats man. I'd look like a little kid with a new toy right now. |

you've never heard of the GP exhaust mod?? you roll up the motoGP ticket, and stick it down your pipe. makes your bike sound like a GP racer and adds at least 5HP at the wheel

well i just spent about 3 hours working on it. most of the time was spent getting the front fairing off, and then putting the new one in. also put on the solo cowl and the tank pad. still to come, frame sliders (because ACE hardware didnt have blue loctite in stock) and of course the M4. but so far she's looking better
pics: replaced the upper seat cowl - it doesnt quite sit flush on the tail, but i've heard of a way to fix this old exhaust, soon to be gone... tank pad

today i put on the sliders... took 5 mins, Now im working on the fender, i picked up a metal bracket from home depot which is pretty much perfect and I also borrowed a dremel from a friend. all im waiting on is that i need to make a large rectangular hole in the metal bracket to fit the license plate light... no idea how to do that so I'm going to the hardware store tomorrow to see if they can help.
M4 is (hopefully) going on tomorrow. Cutty did u ever drop the entire exhaust off the bike? only problem i see is the clamp for the rear header is kinda hard to reach. other than that the install seems pretty easy
