First of all, I want to thank forum member JohhnyB for installing the following on my bike: torque loops, handlebar risers and black brake pedal. It was so nice seeing his very well organized garage, nothing like mine.

I bought torque loops from Phantom at the auction online. Money was to support the rally. I felt I'm doing a good deed since I was unable to make the rally this year (I was in NC mountains, though).

I have Cobra pipes on mine since they first came out. There was a small drone while riding around 65-70mph. I bought the loops because I read here that they get rid of the drone.

I have to say that it is correct. No more drone, just a pure great sound of the pipes. The bike sounds and runs like a hopped out version of a Goldwing that it is. No engine hesitation, pulls strong and continuous at any rpm. It just seems that engine runs more freely now. The sound is great when accelerating, plenty of growl, but then it quiets down while riding. The sound does not stay louder while going 60+mph, which I think was the drone before. I can hear my mp3's just fine with stock stereo.

I also like the risers, much better than before. I'm 6' tall and it feels great. These are MBL risers I bought from another forum member earlier. I understand that Heli bars are the best, but for around $50 these do the job for me.

Black brake pedal JohhnyB acquired from Steve and never used it so he offered it to me. It does complete the look.

I also finished my tour pak with arm rests project, just need to add a small cushion on the bottom. I'm leaving it on, I like the extra room for luggage, and I need it for passengers like my son or my mom. It can come off in about 2 minutes, it is only held with 4 screws and arm rests are attached to the trunk.
