| Arata Got up early, washed the bikes and it started to rain.  I was planning to wait and do all my mods at once but I got bored, broke down and installed the Arata slip-ons that I got earlier this week. Build quality is beautiful, fit is spot-on. I'll get some pics up soon for anyone who'd like to see them. I know Sato seems to be the brand of choice, but some research led me to the Aratas instead and I don't regret it for a min. They're worth looking into if you're going to get rid of the stock exhaust.  | |

| Dussault Pics Added I didn't know about the Mad Black when I ordered. I got the Ti. The black looks awesome, but I'd probably still go with the Ti on this bike. I spent the whole day working on the Dussault Undertal. Had to pull the pipes back off in order to do it. I can't describe how strange it was to take a hack-saw to my brand new bike.  The tail was ready to be put back together tonight, but I ran out of the electrical connectors that I want to do the job right. I "soft-wired" the whole set-up and everything worked as it should. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow night, including the signal rectifier and Power Commander. Attached are some early pics. Last edited by DUX : 08-29-2005 at 12:30 AM. |

| Re: Arata No word as yet. I just had a customer that wanted Carbon and when I tried ordering they told me that no Carbon for the SP2 anymore, they made Mad Black. I'm THINKING that it has to do with the heavy pulse situation of the twins vs the IL4's, and that affecting the Carbon etc. I'll ask though if you like. Oh, yeah I'd have gone for the Ti on that bike too. But for the all black versions etc we have out here currently, the black looks very trick |

| Progress <HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title -->It's all buttoned up. I just need to figure out where I want to install the plate. I'm not much for side-mounts and deep in the wheel well is probably inviting a ticket. I'll probably just go for the standard under the tail light set-up. That's also where the plate light is. The Magical Racing hugger and mounting kit for my Scott's damper should've been here by now, but I'll hopefully have them next week. More pics to follow. Attached are some before and after pics and sound clips. There's no way for me to post the true sound of either exhaust, but you can definitely hear a difference. Install of the undertail due to my inexperience and caution - 10hrs Install of the pipes + wiping ALL fingerprints off before running the bike - 1hr Install of the Power Commander including lifting the tank - 20mins The satisfaction of figuring out how to do the job - Priceless |
