finally got those termis put on and.... daaayyumm!

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I got those high mounts put on. At least the airbox and ECU were a piece of cake.

But after firing that bitch up, the pain of my stubbed fingers and achey back melted away and the SO's admonitions for dropping substantial coin on "a couple pipes that my plumber dad could have made" faded to a dull drone.

NOW this bike is ready. It came to me incomplete. I could not believe how much the stock pipes weighed when I took the first one off. And the sound of the stock pipes, so... polite. Now the bike practically sings to my inner hooligan. I can hear him whispering "those two cages in front of you are going 30 in a 35 just to miff you... just shoot between them, you got the space"

Matt C. was right, after riding the bike for two minutes the money and hassle involved is a complete non-issue. I was considering some other brands (arrow, remus) but went with the termis since they had the whole kit and I wouldn't feel like I hadn't spent enough cash on them.

I can see now why the tail chop is so popular... that will be next then I will be done modding this puppy for a good long time.
