I'm on day 7 of my 15 day no ride order from my surgeon. I planned ahead and ordered Khrome Works 10" Bagger Bars and a new set of slip ons. These were the first two items on my list of things I wanted to do to my new to me scooter. I made arrangements to have my son take my head pipe to have it welded after I gutted it so I dug in this morning and started disassembly. I feel like I won a lottery.
I pulled the bags off and found Progressive rear shocks. So now I am not only happily surprised but understand why it handles so much better than I had anticipated. I pull the heat sheilds off and notice the head pipe looks different than stock. I pulled the slip ons off and shine a light in there and it is wide open to the O2 sensors. Now I even happier but wondering why I was getting so much heat on the right and the slip ons had been nearly welded in place. I look thru the slip ons and can only see a pin hole of light. New ones have 2-1/2" thru baffle and no other restriction. I fired it up and the neighbor who is not a fan of loud came over with a huge smile on his face. "What are those they sound awesome?" I told him they are Tennessee Tips from JP cycle and they are my third set. He said he had missed the sound of the '06 I traded. I did too. I think the heat will lessen now too. Tomorrow is bar day. If anyone recognizes the head pipe please let me know what kind it is. I'm still grinning. 330.00 for the bars, bushings and mufflers and then the surprises. Previous owner wherever you are THANK YOU!
