One can only wish. Day two, no power. More snow last night. The bikes are screaming at me from the shop. They're mocking me....I can hear it. Bastards......

I don't think i ever posted the picture of the exhaust I ordered. It will be this one except without the logo which is fine with me.

Nice looking pipe. I can see that the name was kinda close to Akrapovic. What's the purpose of the rubber bands?
On another note; I see that Amateur is now banned. I knew that was coming after reading a few of his posts. As you said, he could have added to discussions and been an asset rather than, well, just being an ass.

I think the rubber bands where just to hold the flange in place for the photo or possibly for shipping so they don't slide around and scratch up the pipe. Yeah, he didn't take kindly to the warning. Once I read through his post, I think he may of had one useful comment. Every once in a while we have one of those kind.

Well my speedometer calibrator comes in today. I guess I'll be installing that tomorrow morning and testing it out. Only a 20% chance of rain so I should be able to get some ride time in before the rain and cold sets in. It should be an easy install. I just have to figure out what wire on the cluster is for the speedometer.

So many of the OEM parts in new motorcycles (and cars) are made in China now.
-because of that, I don't really see any problem with adding Chinese performance parts and accessories to a Japanese bike. The springs on the new exhaust remind me of the old 2 stroke exhaust systems.

As far as the exhaust, it got shipped out again this week without the Logo on it. It's getting shipped premium shipping instead of standard shipping. I'm waiting to see who will be delivering it once it hit the US. I sure Pitney Bowes doesn't touch it. Hopefully FedEx or UPS gets it.

Being a (self-proclaimed) expert on cheap, Chinese exhaust systems, that should never be disgracefully mounted on super-superior Japanese bikes, it's obvious what the rubber bands are there to do. After mounting to the bike, they are there to melt, fill in, and seal all of the garbage welds that normally would be blowing exhaust gas out all over your legs and bike. It sure is nice they decided to include these......
