@ gloom yeah he was definitley going nowhere fast lol
@ bull It took me about an hour got stuck behind a long long row of cars on 46 going slow . Thought about picking them off a few at a time but the more I looked the more it seemed hopeless because it looked never ending so I enjoyed the scenery .
 
What kind of exhaust is on the cherry R?

He made it himself, I just asked him the same question lol. He send me a link to how he did it, it's basically shortened, gutted, and has two baffles in it. It sounds really good. The white bike in the pic sounds good too, I think that one is just all gutted.
 
Yep, made it myself. Picked up an xb9 muffler for $50 and went nuts with a sawzall. There's a "how to" on it. I tweaked his recipe a bit, and for the money (about $75 including muffler) I couldn't be happier with it.
 
Hey guys, I'll be out of town for thanksgiving weekend, but I think we should do the Sugarloaf mt. ride the weekend after. Who's with me?
 
I'll be game . Me and snrusnak have already been talking about it . Bull how long did it take you ? I'm debating on weather I should gut and mod the extra exhaust I have or to just chop mine to the back chamber wall and add two turn downs . I love the sound of my pipe but I must admit I'm rather jealous of the look of yours . Mine (exhaust) looks like $h!+ shitting next to your bike .
 
Start to finish, including dropping and remounting the pipe, it took just under 8 hours. I did have a welder there ready to go, but I had to run around for an hour or so looking for fiberglass. Also changed the oil while I had it on the lift
 
i have access to an xb9 muffler are the internal pipe diameters the same as the xb12? If so or if it doesn't matter i'll just pick up the 9 muffler. I was thinking hawk but i really want to do it myself.
 
I should be good for the second sunday after thanksgiving. Just like flaxb9r and I were talking about. That will honestly be my last ride before I rip my bike apart though haha! Don't worry, come next year my bike should be looking better than ever, and have a new exhaust and intake :). And maybe a wideband and tuning, but we'll see how much money I have to stretch...
 
I should be good to go for that next moutanin run too, guys.. I got jealous of those factory badges you guys have. If I knew that I was going to keep the Amber wheels and windscreen Id go ahead and buy them now. Im getting kinda sick of the 2 Pegasuai on my airbox, thinking about pullling them.. what do you guys think? Keep em or chuck em?
 
Bump to see who is in for the sugarloaf mt. ride . Also any others in the area who may be .

@Gloom I don't think the pegs look bad but I also don't have to see them everyday . If your getting sick of them I say chuck'em . I think the factory badges should be a definetley add to your bike but I too would wait if I planned on changing color/theme . Just my .02
 
I'm sort of on the fence right now. I can't let you know for sure until saturday night. Honestly I likely won't be able to go, and probably won't ride anymore until I get my forks rebuilt. I rode over thanksgiving (in the sugarloaf mountain area) and some of the road conditions were pretty poor and I felt pretty unsafe between my forks and oil soaked front brake pads. Probably best for my safety and others safety if I don't ride anymore until I get it all straightened out. On a good note though I found a lot of great roads out there (I rode about 8 hours the one day all in that area).
 
I didn't feel the roads on the route we took were poor at all but I also wouldn't disagree with you if you choose not to ride considering your saftey .
 
Yeah the roads in that area were good, but I circled around south of hwy 50 and found some pretty rough roads there lol. Like REALLY rough, although they were pretty twisty for florida. I think I'm going to pass and stop pushing my luck like I have been for the past 2,000 miles and 1 year riding around with my forks needing rebuilt and front brakes soaked in fork oil (making them about half useless). I'll be back riding after the new year sometime.
 
Didn't know your front end was that bad Sean. Probably a good call tho, considering. My offer still stands if you need help.
I have seen a few Buell's running around at school lately that I haven't seen before. I will try to track down the owners and spread the word. Either way, I'm in for Sunday. Still meeting up there? or do we wanna find a mid-point for all of us?
 
I'm down to meet wherever but what would be a middle point ? I've tried to look at the map and figure a way to meet on the other end closer to your side of town and the only thing I could think of would be I4 & the turnpike ? Just let me know and I'll be there .
 
Well, I have a GPS, but no way to charge it or plug it into the bike. I WANNA GO I WANNA GO! In tampa though, so no fun.
 
west orlando ride

Here's basically where I rode last weekend, I spent much more time out exploring other roads, but basically took this loop around. Started at eagle rider on sand lake where my brother rented a bike and looped around and returned there. At the corner of highway 50 and avalon road is a 7-11(I think that's what it is), that's a great place to meet up.

I'm going to skip out, I'll be riding again next year :) Have fun!
 
Well that link didn't work for some reason :(. Anyway, hwy 50 and avalon is a good meeting point, should be near half way for you guys too.
