When I bought this bike it had Ragnar cut w/24" trucks stacks.

Sounded great and really ripped.

But the drone got to me and I was ignoring her.

I put a set of unmolested OEM's on her, but she longed for the attention of headturners, as we cruised the roads.

With the help of Mike, tronerdog, I was able to give her back some of the attention she had been used to.

Got out for a 50 mile ride today with the repaired Ragnar cuts & 24" stacks, and together, we turned a few heads  Smiley cooldude  The salt and sand on the roads made me squirm some. Sad

3 12" perforated pipes pipes stuck 2" into the Ragnar cut and pipe clamped together


4" baffle end piece pushed into the truck stacks and wedge bolted.



Sound from the phone vid doesn't do it justice, it sounds great.  This is after the ride and the bath to get rid of the salt res.

tronerdog's original post that got me started.  His is the last one of the string.

I'm really happy with the end results  (Thanks Mike) and this spring after I get some more miles on her, I'll do some jetting.  But man, she ran awesome. cooldude

Thanks slowshadow, she was a twin to yours.  PO dropped her and one bag was road rashed, so I painted her all burgundy.

The leather is actually vinyl, the kid that did it talked me out of leather, said the vinyl would hold up better and not weather as much.  I think he just didn't want too, or couldn't, do the leather.

He did a great job and said it was a challenge.   Time will tell, but it looks good and has held up nice.
