Kal-El, riding out from NYC to Myrtle Beach 2008

Only a few more miles to the first service then I open her up. I'm still waiting for my clutch slider and a new LP mount.

see ya there

Im sure u had a good time and ur bottom still hurts from the ride. right?

Starting to luv those cans more and more. hope u had nice weather the whole trip.

looks great, are you going to pull the restrictors out of the yoshi pipes?

heres some instructions yoshi supplied

looks great, are you going to pull the restrictors out of the yoshi pipes? I wasn't thinking about doing that. What kind of benefit would I get from it? FYI...............I've got a serious dent in my rear rim and I'm taking suggestions on how to fix the problem.

Im sure u had a good time and ur bottom still hurts from the ride. right? I punked out and trailed my bike down....................$250.00 bucks of gase each way too :dundun:

its easier than the instructions imply, just take the three bolts out of the back of the muffler and take the lil pipe out, mine nearly fell out it was that easy... and put the cap back on.....its seriously easy as pie.......just makes the exhaust sound grunty and have bit more of a note....thats how they intend you use the pipes the restictor just makes it quiet.

Wow.... those YOSH pipes look real good! I would remove the silencers though.

Wow.... those YOSH pipes look real good! I would remove the silencers though. Thanks................I'm gonna work on getting the "quiet" out now

I thought it sounded on the silent side. Thanks for the help.

heres some pics

heres some pics What's the sound difference like? On a scale of one to ten........ten being way louder than pre removal.......... :fire

probebly from 7 with silencers, to 10 without.....its a bit hard to say because it takes time to bed in the exhaust and get its true sound....plus it takes time to warm up and sound at its best...i notice that after i have been riding for a lil bit it warms up and sounds grunty'er... and if i ride it hard it tends to sound better...hahahah

Nice yoshi pipes homey.....let me know how that sound is once you take the silencers out!!!

Nice yoshi pipes homey.....let me know how that sound is once you take the silencers out!!! ARE YOU NEAR RALEIGH?

Yea, in Durham. You close?

Yea, in Durham. You close? I'm down in Raleigh near knightdale twice a month. I try to get up on Capital on sunday's when i can. If you don't mind, i'll PM you and we can get up for a ride. This weekend i'm riding to Maryland (but from NYC) :thumbup

Shoot me a PM. I was out on Capital a few weeks ago. Bike down now for some mods/fixes (bent front wheel) and cracked front fairing stay. Should be back out in the streets in a week or so. I know a bunch of dudes out this way so....holla. I'm down in Raleigh near knightdale twice a month. I try to get up on Capital on sunday's when i can.

I was at a bike mechanic today. He wanted me to know that removing those silencers will cause a drop in horse power. His 2 cents is to leave them in since Yoshimura pays the engineer millions to get the pipes right LMAO. :riding

Those silencers are strictly for noise control, not HP I believe. Shouldn't be an issue. Let me know how that turns out.

Nice bike. Ive heard those pipes before not to agressive on sound but they look cool

The pipes will never be mistaken for D&D's but i luv em anyway LOL
