Well, for such a small thing, it took along time for it to happen. First I went to my local dealer, pointed out the EFI in the parts book, said I want this one. Dealer said "okie dokie, Okie"
Waiting , waiting , waiting.........
Get a call almost a month later, dealer said "hey pipes in"
I say "yeah!" and head right over.
Wrong pipe. They sent the upswept, dealer only special instead, almost 3 times the cost. Sticker shock forces me to turn it down. Advised dealer still wanna get EFI..he says "okie dokie Okie."
Waiting, waiting..........three months.
Finally, go to dealer. Say, "Hey! U still got that pipe they sent....you know the one I didnt order?"
Dealer says, "Yup."
Okie says bashfully, "Need Pipe Now, Tired of putter putter putter, Need THUMP THUMP NOW!"
260 bucks later me and pipe head home. No issues with the install. PIPE IS LOUD.
At idle, is not a neighbor hater. When I get on it though totally different. Now am finding myself backing off the throttle when I pass our boys in blue(uniform is black).
Low end seems more responsive, quicker to run up the power band.
Shifting has definitely changed, merging on to highway was doing a hair under RE 70mph before I shifted into 5th.
5th gear......seems like shes running a tad rich in the upper end..
Now if I can just get that K&N filter without having to wait 3 or 4 months should have Alison where I want her.
Side note....Have been running the bike with new upswept for little over 2 weeks, did a 150 mile run to check the feel. Some issues already with the chrome. Is starting to look flakey around the silencer.....
