Layla - 2009 XB12Scg

[JustinMT]

Also, OH9, what turn signals do you have on your Bolt?

 

[snrusnak]

What happened to your mirros oh9? Making a lot of changes!?

 

[oh9bolt]

That was a old pic, prob a couple years ago.

 

[oh9bolt]

I use generic r1/r6 led flush mount front turn signals and a xblights led integrated tail light.

 

[JustinMT]

From the side they looked like maybe they were Rizomas.

I want to get new signals, and the 2010 rears (shorter stalk) are around $50 so I'm just going to go with Rizomas all the way around.

 

[JustinMT]

Well, it's been a week and I don't have my exhaust yet because there's a delay with UPS. [mad]

It won't go on Layla until spring time, but damn it I want it in my possession! Ugh!

 

[oh9bolt]

Waiting sucks

 

[JustinMT]

I know! Not Randy's fault, just a delay on UPS' end due to the weather.

Checked again earlier today, and it's supposed to be here tomorrow! Can't wait!

 

[JustinMT]

Well, my pipe came in yesterday! Definitely happy with the results! For what it cost, it's just fine. I'm no welding expert, but there are some spots that don't look good, but it's not like they'll be noticeable. I'm glad I went the Hawk route!

Here is what I have, so far. Unfortunately, I had a $300 freaking dentist bill due the other day, so that definitely put the ECM on hold, which is the next thing on my list. I has hoping I'd have more than just plastics as a pipe by now, clocks ticking and Spring will be here in a few months. I'll probably have to put the non-essentials on hold for a little while (fender eliminator, Rizoma signals, chin cowl, etc..). [sad]

 

[JustinMT]

When the weather warms up, I plan on cleaning up the tip, getting the splatter off, and painting the muffler with gloss black, will definitely look better than the flat on there now.

 

[JustinMT]

Well, I had a lazy Sunday and I grabbed the propane heater and fired it up. Picked up a couple cans of high heat, gloss black paint and went to town. I "polished" the tip like I did my headers, mainly to get weld splatter off it. Then I taped off a bit of it, and painted over some.

Not the best job from a rattle can, but better than whatever it is that was on it before!

I cannot wait to get it on and hear it!

[Sirius815]

Looks much better! [up]

 

[JustinMT]

Thanks guys! Damn I can't wait to get everything and rip the throttle!

 

[50dro]

I remember the first time I fired up my Buell with the Hawk exhaust...still smiling!

 

[JustinMT]

Haha I'm glad! Nobody seems to have any complaints about the sound of them, and for the cost I have no complaints.

She's going to be a completely new bike this year! Come on spring!

 

[JustinMT]

I would like to just earn everybody, 50dro is a menace here. Constantly telling me what I should spend my money on.... [mad]

Just kidding! Pulled the trigger, bought some Renthal Streetfighters for Layla.

I really can't blame him, he found a deal that I couldn't pass up, brand new $50 shipped from a forum member. So, there's something else I'll be throwing on in spring! [up]

 

[50dro]

Haha! I'm kinda like your crack dealer for bike parts!

Once you're done, it will be exactly what I, I mean you...wanted! Make sure you keep enough cash set aside for that pulley cover and a set of levers before Spring! [cool]

Seriously though...I don't think you'll regret the new bars! I absolutely love the feel of them on my bike. Good choice! [up]

 

[JustinMT]

Where was I going with this bike? [confused]

Haha I know! I think I will be set! Once my ECM is purchased it should be smooth sailing!

 

[WayneBrettzky]

You're not going to tune your stock ECM?
