Well Looky what the UPS guy brought me today! :drool:








I literally threw this on in 10 minutes. I was leaving work and had to get home to watch my son. So I threw it on quickly. Nothing is tightened down, its just loosely installed.

I will post up a sound clip tomorrow, its been raining all day today anyway. Tomorrow should be decent and I can button it up and bring her outside.

But here are some more pics. Install is a breeze, just like my Jardine was. My one gripe, same as with my Jardine, no nut was supplied to replace the right radiator nut that is permanently on the stock muffler. No big deal, but not everyone has metric galvanized, or SS nuts and bolts hanging around.

Congrats on the new accessory. Looks better than in other pictures I have seen! Thanks for posting.

Can you give your opinion on which one sounds "better" and which one is louder (Jardine vs. barker)? Did you opt to get the baffle too?

I am on the fence between exhausts ATM...

I will definitely have a clip tomorrow for ya. Just ran out of time today.

I did order a quiet core, but Tim said it would be a day or two behind the pipe. So I will do a clip with and without once I get it.

I will give a better review once I get to ride it

Looks good! Not to change the subject pm me if you want. But where did you get the decals on your pod? And the lift spools on the rear swinger, did you just drill and tap it yourself? And what stand is that? Thanks chris

Decals were custom made by a friend of mine. I had the whole shield around it, but it didnt fit right on the pod. I am not crazy about how it looks going onto the matte plastic. I may have them made smaller and just put on the gloss. they are matte black.

Spools are from Keda designs(sponsor). They are drilled through and secured with a nylon lock nut on the inside. There is a circle in the casting on the inside of the swing arm. You just drill them out. Very easy install.

Stands are biketeck I think? I had them on my xb, and modified them to fit the spools. They are kinda ghetto, but work!

Ok cool, any chance your friend or you would be interested in making the same decals you have on you bike? But maybe bigger?
