I got my new pipes and bars in and on. The pipes are great! I got a nice boost in power and really like the sound. They are the Macs 2 into 1 and came from DCC. I read a post where the guy had trouble with his and I was worried because I had already ordered mine and wasn't sure what I'd get. I added lock washers to all the bolts and have had no trouble at all. Once again, I love em. Put my drag bars on not knowing about the change in cable length, it makes perfect sense I just never thought about it. I have to replace them but for now I just rerouted them so I could ride. They look bad but I love the new feel of the lower more forward ride. Here's what it looks like .

I really don't know where to go from here with the seat so I have not bobbed the rear fender yet so no cool lights yet either. My wife likes to ride with me so I can't go solo and it has that ugly ass cruiser frame so a straight long seat won't. So, other than a new wife or a new bike, does anyone have any ideas? Please let me know, thanks.

Sup dude? Good luck with the bike. I'm riding and working on an 82 cm450, similar bike.


Check this thread out for all kinds of info on working with these frames: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=26184.0


I just have a solo on for now, but am looking for an OE seat or just seat pan so I can trim down the foam and reupholster it. That is one of the better ways I've seen people deal with the dip in the frame. Also, a few folks have gone and glassed up 2-up seats from scratch.
