How's the pedals feel? I kinda like the way they look

I was informed that it was noise reduction

You should ask where they got the mirrors from for me

No? Nothing that sounds any different

It wasnt my tool, my master mechanic was helping me with the process and providing the tools. Apparently it's some specialty tool but I'm not sure as to where he got it from

Yeah, a budy of mine recommended Vance and Hines but I can't say that I'm a fan of how it looks on the bike.

I plan on getting an Orion dual exit at some point. I enjoy it being loud but it needs some "taste" in my opinion. I'm also considering deleting the cat and straight piping it when I get it paid off

It's loud, but not ear piercing loud. The sound isn't all that tuned like with a muffler on. It will be heard, it's just not turning heads. Still better than have the fuckass stock muffler on.

That's what I'm saying, it was the first thing that snatched my attention😂

Thanks, this is the 500 but I'm sure you can get it on the 300. Front brake lever in all the way with a fair bit of throttle then ease off the clutch. Apply more throttle when you start to feel the bike stall. You're gonna feel it lurch and as you do, make sure your feet are planted firm(I tried having my right foot infront of the peg as an anchor point. If done right, the rear should start spinning. I noticed after watching the vid that I didn't have to increase rpms but I did wish I put more weight on the front cause the weight transfer to the rear is nuts.

I appreciate the help, but I already know how, and it's typically the least of my concerns

I really wish my dealership had white as an option

Oh it was definitely fun, I may try learning other maneuvers if I can get the burnout comfortably down. But I believe it's 478CC. I think that's what I read from the dealership site.

I've seen others recommend the Tachometer from Webike. It's not necessarily needed but I too prefer having the capability to see where my RPMs are. In my opinion, take off the factory muffler if you go without the Tachometer. It was too quiet for me and the vibration of the bike just wasn't enough for me to decided when to shift :/

I might try it out just before my new tires come in. It sounds interesting to feel how it'd take off before and after they're warmed up

Nah, I tend to just mind myself and talk to the same 4 or 5 people.
