    Slip on’s Gen 3? Best ones/EBay?

    I knew my addiction to mods, power and sound were all going to make me buy a full system after being unhappy with slipons. If I had stuck to stock/slipons, I personally found the Austin Racing cans to be a pretty good price compared to the other options.

    Initial impressions of Gen 3 Busa and a few questions

    Yes, if in doubt, get them. Re install.. I first read the instructions with my morning coffee when I was about to install. The instructions are completely unnecessary. Remove shield and side “dash panels” under ur grips. Tape the tubes and get to work moving the bars back and forth. You need a...

    Initial impressions of Gen 3 Busa and a few questions

    I installed Helibar risers on mine, two thumbs up from me. I installed lowering pegs on mine but ended up taking them off as soon as I sat on the bike. No throttle issues here, check the manual and make sure everything is in spec.

    Thousand pound tour bike anyone?

    I’ve had countless 900lb+ HD Road Glides and they do just fine when fitted with proper suspenders, “for what they are”. My Goldwing on the other hand, I’m honestly amazed at how well that bike handles right off the showroom floor. It’s the only bike I’ve never modded. Always wanted to try an...

    Gen 3 Carbon Fiber parts

    I got motocomposites meter panels and tail fin wing thing in the mail this week. I mocked up the tail piece and it fit pretty good. It’s missing the guide tabs so the fitment was an 8 out of 10 maybe but the gaps it has will be pretty much hidden. Will install once I get my exhaust issues worked...

    Exhaust and Flash done… huge disappointment

    I’m gonna hold off for right now. Talked to him last night and he was very receptive and wants to make things right. I’ve already spent good money so I need to see if he can clean things up. That said, he has an excellent reputation. IDK but I will certainly keep the thread updated.

    Exhaust and Flash done… huge disappointment

    I assumed that’s how things would work, but I’m more confused than ever. According to Moore Mafia this morning, all nosed and power levels retained.

    Exhaust and Flash done… huge disappointment

    GM y’all. First let me say life has been really good at kicking me in the nads the past month. The stress of family death and scary health diagnoses led me to make the stupid mistake of letting someone else install my exhaust and then tune the bike. Problems and some questions if anyone knows…...

    More Dyno results...

    I just got a pic of my stock pulls. That AFR is painful to see. Keep in mind, its over 100f outside right now.

    Drop pegs

    I found that I am indeed too fat for stock pegs, but too short for the 40mm drop pegs lol. I mounted them and they were comfy, then took them right back off because I felt like I was losing too much mobility. YMMV
