    There is a small speck of paint that came off the end of the baffle, you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it. I'm thinking Cobra exhaust anyway so I'm not worried about it. The bike handled the trailer tugging around on it really well. I'm going to replace the hooks on the safety chains with something more substantial, they both were pulled straight. I don't know if they crossed the chains at the dealership when they hooked it up, they should have. They should have also tightened up the nut, I'm sure the tech will always check it in the future. Got to find a body shop and I'm thinking about painting the lid matte silver and leaving the rest black, or changing the bottom of the trailer to matte black.

    I'll try the grease, and get pictures posted in the morning when I get to my work computer. Took a quick spin just a while ago and I think it got louder since yesterday. Is that possible? Loving the sound, the tunes and the bike. Thanks for all the comments.

    Glad to hear you are OK. That could have ended differently than it did.
