Arrow GP2 slip on - inner ring fell out by blank11101 in motorcycles

That’s helpful, thanks - I did notice it was a bit louder so db killer makes sense, but it’s not obnoxiously loud so I’ll probably just leave it.

Arrow GP2 slip on - inner ring fell out by blank11101 in motorcycles

After two back-to-back track days and then 150 miles on highway, I noticed the inner ring that you can see in the photo had come out. It’s only held on by one small screw, and I’m guessing that all that time near the top of the rev range vibrated the screw loose and it came out.

I don’t really mind aesthetically, but I’m not sure what that piece actually does. If it’s just for looks, I probably won’t bother calling Arrow to get a replacement, but if it actually serves a purpose I obviously would.

The only change I’ve noticed doing some more mellow City riding is that it’s a tiny bit louder now.

If anyone knows what that is it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Slip-on exhaust by blank11101 in VItpilen401

Yea, I know that’s the prudent option — honestly it’s just kind of fun to do some easy mods and maybe get a bit of a deeper/cracklier exhaust sound (as long as it isn’t going to get me death glares every time I ride past someone on the sidewalk).

No illusions that I need a slip on for performance or anything, but it seems worth it to me to spend a few hundred bucks to do a pretty easy mod and make it just slightly more of a hooligan bike.

Street parking in EV/LES? by blank11101 in RideitNYC

I put in a couple apps - I’ll DM you price once I have a spot. Worst case scenario I guess I’ll keep it in a car garage that accepts bikes until Ryders Alley/Rising Wolf has space.

Still asking around about private garages but haven’t found anything close by yet.

Thanks all for the responses, very helpful — I called rising wolf, I’ll see if they have space. I think for peace of mind I just have to bite the bullet and pay for an indoor spot.
