jkt69 Posted August 20, 2008 #1 Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) I have to thank yamahamer for not only installing these for me, but for also taping this short clip of how they sound. I did a lot of research and ask a lot of questions on here about which pipes to get...thanks for all your help. [ame= ] [/ame] PS. I was also having a radio issue, which he also fixed.

jkt69 Posted August 21, 2008 Author #7 Posted August 21, 2008 No more sewing machine, sounds good , see ya got a drink holder up there now. Do you still want to try that utopia backrest? YES. We went to Mt Cheaha Tuesday and on the way back my lower back was killing me. I'm having an issue with my rear end...thought it was the splines, now the noise is getting louder...so, the rear end may be going out. It's possible the bike will be out of commission for a while.
jkt69 Posted August 21, 2008 Author #8 Posted August 21, 2008 OEM pipes I was getting about 42mpg, which worked out to about 165 miles until the light came on....noticed yesterday that when the light came on I was at 197 miles. I don't know yet what that equates to in miles per gallon, but I know it has increased by a few miles per gallon. (95% of my riding is all two-up, so I was pretty pleased with 42mpg).
