1500 mile follow up

I've put about 1500 miles on the GT since I declared "there is nothing more to do to it."

So far so good.

This evening I decided to really wail on it.

15 miles of hwy cruising at 70mph and then headed up 9 miles of twisties and 2500 feet of climbing at 4500-5300 rpm the whole way.

Saw 215 or so on the temp guage. 75 outside. Oil pressure was good, but was dropping a bit by the end of the climb.

No leaks, no loss of power, nothing funky at all. No smoke at start up after letting it sit for a few hours after the thrash.

A B with no front resonator at 5000 rpm tends to make grandma drop her garden tools and scowl as you go by( even when you are within the speed limit)

Excellent! :)

Wish I could drive 25 miles and have roads like that. I'm 'green' with envy.

No doubt Grandma's daughter was taken away by a young boy in a sports car at some point. Grandma is jealous.

Stock system?

I'm in the throes of deciding how to replace the too-low semi-stock (semi because the Moss stock system can't be installed right, the front muffler is upside down and backwards).

most counsel ditching the first muffler and having a cherry bomb think at the back.

I don't want to get the Harley A-holes mad at me by making more noise than they do <semiG>. I want a system that is about as quiet as a stock one but tucks up so I have >1 ground clearance.

I have a stock rear muffler with a glasspack for the resonator. It sounds good but not too loud except for the leaky headpipe that needs replacing now. The glasspack tucks up nicely and only hits on the big speedbumps.

excellent!

Try two glass packs(cherry Bombs). Almost no exhaust restrictions, nice deep sound.
