'partysmile' Sweet!!!! looks good!!
Hey, Dickie! Yeah, I have no problem copying somebody when they have a great idea so thanks for your inspiration that got me looking in this direction.
I really like my red stripes but anytime you do something like this, it may or may not meet with favorable criticism. Frankly, I'm at that stage of my life where I really don't care. If I like something on my bike, that's all I care about. The photo doesn't show the entire bike but I added the red trim molding to the front fairing as well. It follows similar lines as what you see in the rear saddlebag area and I'm quite pleased with it. It's simple, easy to do, and hopefully, tastefully done :icon_biggrin:. If you're interested, the product I used is red trim molding from Auto Zone. I originally bought a roll of that to use on my GTI but decided against it. So, when my buddy DeerSlayer kept bragging about how his red 6 was faster than mine, I decided to add a bit of red to level the playing field :icon_rolleyes:.
I want I want I want I want.....:icon_mrgreen:
Thanks for the compliments on the stripes and pipes. Reminds me of a tune...Stripes and Pipes Forever :icon_rolleyes: Or maybe that was Stars and Stripes Forever :clap2: BTW, happy July 4th everybody :icon_smflag:
Someone requested a better look at the stripes so I'll see if I can shoot a full side photo soon.
As far as the pipes, I have no plans to shoot a video. The sound on exhaust videos can be very misleading. I will say the Rush pipes offer the best sound, for me, of all I've heard so far. With the 2.5" baffles, the volume is just right and the tone is solid and deep. As you can see, the extended tips get the exhaust outlet beyond the bottom of the bags. Wow, those tips are pricey and, for me, look a bit too elegant. I would have preferred a simple slash-cut but this was all Rush offered for extended-length tips. Perhaps they'll grow on me.
