Borla slip on. BEST sounding muffler out there for these bikes IMHO.

Got this bike for sale now in the classifieds don't you Pyro?

Did you do anything special to eliminate the rear plastics on your bike? Or just take them off?

Looks slick!

Also, how did you prep the fenders, wind shield, and tank for paint?

What kind of paint/primer did you use on the tank? Everything I have tried, even professional bedliner has bubbled up.

Drawkard, I have some data on the proper types of paint and primers. I believe they were of a sort that allowed the vapors to breathe out instead of sealing it under the paint and eventually causing bubbling. I can forward it to you if you wan to pm me with your email address.

Huebman, you can just see a bit of the tail plastics still on the bike, behind the seat. So some significant trimming was probably done.

The rear plastic was cut. it is still thereit is basically jsut enough to hold the seat and lights and stuff there. I actually am replacing it cause there was not enough support and it cracked but I found a solution so a fix is coming.

As Far as the Paint i sanded it down and my dads shop and the scuffed up all the parts I could not really do well with sand paper and then we put on three coats of primer with some plastic shit to help it adhere and then it was wet sanded for hours and then painted with 4 coats off ppg water based paint. and then has about 5coats of clear on it.

And yes it is for sale..
