Hi Ed,  before and after shots are amazing! Can't possibly be the same bike.... ;D   VERY NICE!!

BOTM Nomination!

Thanks Jerry and Cafe Racer!

BOTM nomination?  I am honored.  I will head over there and accept.  I still wish I had those darn pipes but I guess I better "put a fork in it" for now!

I knew you had a K1, but then, I know you have other bikes as well. :-)   Just making sure we were on the same page.  I would check where the coil wires are plugged in.  I am off at work for a week so I can't check mine, but I think my coil wires are plugged into the harness under the tank.

Well, after waiting for more than a year, David Silvers finally emailed that they had some HM341 pipes in stock.  I know this bike should have HM300's, but I was not willing to pay the premium for those pipes.  I always felt that the bike was unfinished with the 4 int 1 pipes that I had on there, so I bit the bullet and forked out the cash for new pipes.  My boys approve....not so sure about my wife :-)

I have been putting a fair amount of miles on throughout this last year and I sure get a lot of attention!  I am still working out tuning issues...the new exhaust seems to help....it has more top end grunt now.  I will go back to stock needle height with the new exhaust and see how that goes for the midrange.

Looks great, Ed, that bike deserves it.  Some things are better left unsaid to the wife, trust me on that one!

I totally agree on the pipes completing the bike. On an otherwise stock bike, it looks empty on left side with a 4-1 exhaust. Great looking bike!

I totally agree on the above two statements! ;D   Bike looks beautiful.
