I didn't know what to expect, as I haven't met anyone else with predators on thier bike, but I took a chance based on the positive feedback so many here posted.


And I have to say ...



THANK YOU!



A bit louder than I expected, but man, these things make my Bonnie ROAR! Fun factor ++

:-D :-D :-D

The first time I heard them i said WOW great sound.Did you do it yerself or have them done? No problems with jetting?
I'm sure the first time you took a ride with the new pipes it was like getting the bike all over again.....joyous.Give us a picture mate!

Installed them myself, cans and headers. First time wrenching on a bike, but i figured this would be pretty easy and I'd say it was.

I only took it out for a short ride 'cause its a bit rainy out, but I think rejetting would be a good idea. Can't say for sure, I hardly gave it a chance to warm up, but now I am thinking the air box needs to go so I guess I'll wait and tackle the carbs then.

Yeah, its like a new bike again... weEEEE!

pics when the rain clears

:-D

Yup - all black


Took it out for a good hour tonight - stocks jets are leaving it a bit thirsty, I think.

But if I am going to have to rejet to carbs, I can't do that without installing K&N's too, right?






*cough*

right?!!



:-D

Curious where you bought the system, I am planning to purchase a 06 black bonne and wanted to add a all black exhaust as you have.

Cant wait to see the pics.

With the whole BC package and right jetting you can have mid to upper 60s HP at the wheel.aaaaWeeee! is an understatement.You will be happier when it's properly jetted.Call or email them they will set you right.
You have very good taste in customizing.
