muffler performance smoother ride and no more restrictive exhuast
buy the bike then youll see what he ment by the seat

luke y
05-11-2008, 08:16 PM

and how much is a seat and a exaust

X7rocks
05-11-2008, 08:22 PM

the seat you have ask nfs for that
and restrictive...like your motor can perform better but the muffler stock just plain out holds some of the motors power

05-11-2008, 08:25 PM

In the Michigan you will need a motorcycle endorsement. You will have to install a rear foot brake switch and change two wires from the clutch lever to the brake side lever add mirrors and you might want to add extra turn signals for safety.


Let me guess your in Ann Arbor?

well if you call a rock on some sort of string a yoyo then yes a yoyo was a weapon.

people would hide in tree with rocks on strings and throw the rock and the animal below and hit it then they could pull the rock back up instead of having to carry a ton of rocks


so no a yoyo was never a weapon

''Their version was large with sharp edges and studs and attached to thick twenty-foot ropes for flinging at enemies or prey.''

That's were the "idea" came from.

Another example must people don't know that "Botox" was originally made to be a "biological weapon"
by the armed forces.

I know we're getting way way off luke's topic but you guys asked here so I'll stray for the sake of a warning! The Brembo brake myself and Rene ordered are the bomb...once you fix them. The are not plug and play. The piston's in ALL and I mean ALL of the calipers stick so bad they WILL NOT WORK! The calipers have to be dis-assembled after the pistons have been forced out and the piston then have to polished. The anodized coating on the piston's and the ring seals appear to be slightly out of spec. The difference in them working and not is probably a millimeter or less speechless33 Probably less. Rene sent me his piston's to get them working and I thought it would be a smooth job since I had done it once, but NNNNNOOOOO! My caliper's had just one problem the piston's which just needed polishing. Rene's caliper's have 2 problems the seals are to thick and the piston coating is to thick. One seal was out of round but I think I solved that (Ancient Greek Secret thumbsup2). The photo's show what I came up with to force the piston's out (Ignore the mess believe it or not I was/am cleaning the space to make more room so I have stuff thrown all over the place). Don't be fooled just hooking up a master cylinder and appling pressure ain't the whole story. The piston's come out of their places uneven so you have to force them to a point them hold them down to allow the other to "catch-up". Pain in the behind and time consuming. When I get the time I'll put together a How-To-Thread. It will help even if you have a totally different type caliper but still have the same problem. So to make a long story even longer if you want to play be prepared to pay or put in the sweat equity to make it work.
