I grabbed a grinder on the way home from work, I needed my own for the shop anyway. I didn't see any wire loom at CT but I did find something similar, it's 1-1/4" so a bit bigger but looks like it'll do the job. Got my stage 6 mirrors, going to head out in a bit and get everything mounted and take some pics.

TrunkMonkey:
If you're lookin for split-loom, you could try JB's. :meh: I know I've bought some there before.

APearson:
Greg (MNNTHBX) is shut during May, but he makes some if the best s**t. Worth the wait. Was thinking of getting a pair of his peg-legs, but now I might attempt to make my own...

Yah I saw, gives me time to think about what I want though. For sure getting that seat frame and light. That light looks a lot cleaner (IMO) than the r6 style light. I LOVE the look of they seat frame he makes, I've wanted to have a seat frame and frame that look like one piece and that's really the only option besides custom welds. It's a little expensive but it's hard to put a price on something so one of a kind. And like you said, the stuff he makes is top notch quality. If in a couple weeks when I send my order you can get something with me and it will ship at once. (same for everyone else!)

Anytime is fine for me, but daytime riding makes my ruck run better :D

Also anyone with extension kit on their ruck. Is it hard to install?

I Can come out tomorrow afternoon, anytime Sunday or Monday!

Loner the extension is fairly easy to get it. You don't need any special tools, just something to squeeze into the frame.

Anyone around? Got the new exhaust on and it's sweet. If anyone wants to go for a ride today, let me know. I'll be floating around the North end breaking this puppy in.

New pics.

Went for a nice cruise. She definitely sounds better, it looks like I didn't lose any top end, still managed to get 60-65km in some areas, it was pretty windy though so I'll get out for another run tomorrow and hopefully it'll be a bit calmer.

I don't think any loss of top end comes with getting a new pipe. They aren't just for show.

There was a review here on TR where a guy lost almost 10kmh after the switch. It also doesn't come with a gasket, I know loner had an issue with his and ended up getting some gasket goop stuff from crappy tire.
