Default Before and after

Just looking at an old post I put on www.4strokes.com site, and I realized that I can see quite a few differences between the bike then and now. So I just wanted to post them and share.

Before




After



Actually I just wanted to post another reply to keep my Island status.

looks nice deej, tho that muzzy looks kinda garish with the distance it protrudes out the back of the bike (no offense meant). Do you have any idea if the big gun sticks out that much?

Not sure on the Big Gun, but if you don't get a pipe that gets the exhaust far enough past the back end, you will end up with soot on everything. And if you look at the stock exhaust, it pretty much duplicates the Muzzy as far as appearance goes.

I had so many good photos and now I cant seem to find any of them. I manage to find these. So If anyone has some good old photos please post them, I am sure everyone would love to see them.

I agree with Deej on the exhaust outlet location, in fact until I either get a Muzzy or put an outlet pipe on my exhaust whatever is on my cargo rack gets a bit stinky like exhaust. It generally wouldn't bother me but commuting to work it makes my lunch container smell funky.

Well here are a few pics, but not sure if they really show what you are looking for. I used rivets 3 total, instead of screws. Also there will be a 3x4 square hole under the new light. I tried to silicone a piece of plastic in there, but I just noticed that it is coming loose. Anyway here you go.

Hey Deej, can you give me an idea of how bright those flush mount blinkers are as compared to the stock blinkers? The stock blinkers are very bright which is one thing I like about them. The bulb is 23 watts and has a good reflector that works well. But I like the compactness of the flush mount ones you have. Are they as bright as stock? Thanks.
