That looks awesome Pete,
Sounds great too.
I love the fold down lights - That is going to save them from lots of beatings
I know how much sill damage gets done to our trucks and looking at your mufflers they are
going to get a beating ... or is sill / muffler protection still to come ??

I'll youtube some sounds off it later this week. I don't think it's legal. It's a bit loud. I'd like to get a balancing tube fitted to it yet. That'll help things..
Sill damage? Hey if it gets damaged (which it will), no worries, it'll get fixed. I could get steel plates made for protection I guess..Then again. Tracks here in the south aren't as nailey as they are up north (so I'm told).
N the lights are setup like that in case I roll it....again.

Once it's ready for off road (I'm not an impatient little up start), don't worry fat boy, it'll get a hard time. It might be my everyday runner. But I can still use it for off roading n hunting. AND burn off those rice burners from the lights. Lets see any other street legal beast do that.
(farken YEAH!! that's what I'm talkin about)

Here's a clip of what it sounds like driving by. Sorry about the horn blowing on it. Sounds like a clown horn.

Dude, that sounds great. Don't change that exhaust note at all. Did the balancer pipe quiten it down?

It's back to the sound I originally had. I'm stoked.
Running a twin pipe system (without a balance tube) really does sound crap (as skid pointed out). The balance tube installed today made a shit load of difference. It's made it sound deeper, a little quieter and defiantly smoother.
