To think I used to be good at this stuff at one point in time. I wish they would stick to a code version…sheesh. Well I think I got some below and for bigger pics just click on ’em.

….That Vulcan is nice lookin. Those pipes look like they shake the berries off the bushes.

[Munch]

Thanks guys… I love the 900! I have a drivers back rest coming for my long haul run here soon.
Smoke you would be surprised how those pipes are… at idle you can still hold a normal conversation without having to yell over it…. get into her though and yea…. you can definitely wake the neighbors.

That’s a mighty purty bike alright.

Lucky you. You won’t be spending your time and money wrenching while you should be riding. She is pretty and I like the luggage layout. While you are out starting your riding day, I will be in the garage adjusting, checking, tightening and Loctiting my old HD, THEN I can get out and ride. Almost takes all of the joy out of riding (notice I said almost). Enjoy your riding season.

Well got some upgrades on the V900 now. Will have to try and get some pics tomorrow while at work.
New:
Drivers back rest….. definitely a good upgrade for longer rides.
Scootworks Phat Risers…..1″ rise over stock and 2″ pull back more then stock…best upgrade yet.. truly turning her into my La-Z-boy bike.
Kuryaken ISO grips…. not convinced on this one, but the cosmetics look good anyways.
oh yea and debaffled the OEM pipes…. has a definite growl and gets peoples attention quick! DMV has already tried to tell me it wouldn’t pass inspections… til I pointed out that their regulation are only in regard to emissions, and my cat converter is still in there…just the noise baffles are gone… they left it alone.

I really do like that blue with black paint combo. I kinda looked for that when I was bike shopping but no such luck. Guess that shouldn’t be a determining factor when making a purchase like that, but I knew I didn’t want a solid black bike. I can’t say that I like those Nightsters at all.

ty … I took new pics…guess I need to up load em huh…. maybe tonight

[Munch]

Before!!!!!

Hi Munch, how do you like those Kuryaken ISO grips? They look really nice.

Also, how long did it take you to de-baffle the pipes?

[Munch]

As far as the ISO’s go…. I could take em or leave em as far as function.. for looks they do dress up the bike.
For the de-baffle It depends on the tools you have on how long it takes. I would suggest going in stages though as you go. Start with maybe 4 holes in the first plate and run it around town to see if you like…then work your way up. The more holes the louder and deeper it gets. I eventually took all mine out. Which a by product some don’t like is the “backfire” popping on deceleration. Me I like it, but to get rid of it is fairly easy to.

Munch, that is one sexy looking bike.
