cheap mods

[dunringil]

I added headlight visors yesterday. One of the cheapest things I've done, but I really like it. $14

I added some passenger floorboards from j&p cycles $50. I still need to make some mods so that they function better, but they serve the purpose. They keep my wife's boots from melting on the tailgunner.

I got mine from J&P Cycles, 12.00 each, for 5 3/4 highlights. Takes about two minutes to stick them on.

I am not familiar with the pipes you are running. What are they. I didn't know a tunable set existed.

turbo-----one pipe.

see tailgunner website
For the muffler.

People love it and I like the sound of it. The theory behind it is pretty simple.

A straight pipe increases your HP on top end but you lose HP on the bottom end because there is no back pressure. The tailgunner has a turbine fan in the back of a resonator tube. When it is not spinning, it takes more force to turn it, thus applying some back pressure. Once it starts spinning it has momentum that keeps it turning freely, this means nearly no back pressure. Best of both worlds.

Most of the guys on these forums make fun of it, but everyone that sees it in the real world seems to like it. It's quite loud without a baffle.
Here's a view of the tailgunner and the turbo;

Yep, I bought a couple months back. Been doing a few little things to it, here and there to make it my own.
