Just have to keep on the search and wait for the right one to come up. Then jump on it when it does. If you look for the right PO it should be done already. Like Al's on ASB for sale! Damn I wish I could buy that bike!
O and thanks guys.

Well, sent my exhaust out to Randy to have him do his thing! I'm excited to get it back, although I'm in no hurry lol. Sent it out with a 3" stainless steel tip, instead of having him do his normal dual tips.
Pics will come once it comes back, thinking of painting it gloss instead of the flat, thinking it may flow better with the bike.
Anyways...
Next up...
ECM!
Cannot wait for riding season to come back around, performance and appearance it's going to be like a whole new bike!

[up] to gloss
Hey oh9 (just to sound like a Canadian) ... what up with the exhaust wrap ??? Lost it ? I noticed it a while back but was waiting to ask for ... I don't know what .... 
You removed it because of all the talking about exhaust failures ??? Mine is to be "redone". Either I redo it or I polish my exhaust ....

Most definitely better than wrap. I personally think wrap looks like sh*t on everything I've ever seen it on so I'm glad that I felt that way after seeing all the exhaust failures. That polished look is amazing and I really dig the coated ones too.
Yeah, wrap is flat out awful and the only benefit you get is having to deal with more problems in time.
I love how after you "polish" them, they golden up really nice after a few rides. I plan on doing mine again once season comes around! Plus, you don't have to take them off, engine rotate, etc... yes, it's rather messy, but lots of newspaper can take care of that.

It has been off a couple times, I think it is staying off this time. Almost all of my bikes life it has had wrapped pipes, it is time for a permanent change.

I dont, these bikes will be hot no matter what imo. I dont ride in stop and go traffic, I go where there is less traffic and few lights. I try to at least.
Yeah that's my main concern ... I don't get to ride as much as I would like, I have to young boys(2 and 4), and the most of my riding is when I take my bike to go to work. I do get some trafic in rush hour at the end of the day around 5:00 when it's still hot outside .... I might try it without tough, if it's too hot I'll just put some back
Just a small update, I sent out my pipe to Randy, and he supplied me with a tracking number for it coming back my way! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Won't be installed until riding reason rolls back around. My plan is to run the bike for two tanks of gas as stock form. Since I added stabilizer for the winter, I want to run that out, then a full tank of what I normally fill up with, 93 octane.
Then, I plan to do an oil change, install all the performance mods I will have, swap my plastics, etc...
Still needed:
EBR ECM
ASB airbox delete
Fender eliminator
Turn signals (front and rear)
2010 tail light
Levers
And thinking something different for my catchcan. I like the ASB one, but not sure if it's worth the cash.
When I get the exhaust back, I'll post a picture of all the parts I have waiting to be installed!

IMO I would bail on the catchcan and just have a open ended hose. I ran mine back by where the fuel vent dumps. I ran a catchcan when I first got my bike with a small air filter in between and never had anything in it to dump.
Once again this is my opinion, from my experience that money could be spent on different mods.

Thanks guys!
OH9, your problem might be because you had your filter before your catchcan. The filter probably just acted like a diaper and absorbed what the catchcan would get. I have tons of nasty gunk in my catchcan! It's gross, it actually discolored the plastic catchcan, it's real nasty, definitely a mod I'm glad I've done.
