Please explain how sugar in the gas can cause a problem other than a plugged fuel filter.
Hmmm. Looks like I bought into an urban myth. Just thought it would cuz I always heard it would.
Today is a good day, I learned something!

If you really want to cause someone damage, spill a bottle of brake fluid on their vehicle...

Hey Kerry... check out my prototype muffler for the Concours14.. Maybe I have a future in your business? There's a thread here and at Concours.org forum

Thank you and FBA for the kind words. Our business model is very simple. Make a quality product at a fair price. Back it with the best possible customer service. And above all, treat everyone the way we would want to be treated; whether it's simply an inquiry or a sale. You have a lot of other great brands to choose from. We take it very personally and are very honored that you choose our product. We are very appreciative. We take nothing for granted and never will. We're here for you before, during and after the sale.
Now, about your exhaust project..... I simply took a glance. I really can't look at it anymore. Since I am an R&D guy at heart, I keep a very open mind and never shoot anything down until marinating on it for awhile. If I look at your pipe dream any longer, it may get me thinking about the possibilities......

I started to reply and got real busy at work, sorry. I'm under the belief that the exort model is one in the same as the California model, which I think limits the ranges that you can actually tune in, hence the limitation on power in certain ranges. Can you buy one from a US reseller who'll sell you a standard US model? I'm sure Brock will sell you one...then you can just use the maps available around here.

Found it is the programing in the ECU is different also so I put in an American one but now it wants to ride on the right side of the highway!!!

I recently got new tires (pilot road 2) and the jury's still out on them. I also tightened up my suspension a bit to see how that felt in high-speed corners. Now I find that I can power wheelie in first without even chopping the throttle. This is one bad ass bagger!

I personally appreciate the right to speak freely and use whatever language you want to here. Remember "If thy tongue offends thee, cut it out" and if MY tongue offends thee, Piss off and get the fuck away from me with that knife!
And one other thing. Loud Pipes, Loud Pipes, Loud Pipes, Loud Pipes!
Sorry, I'm stuck at home with a virus, feel like shit and have nothing better to do.

I love it!!!!! Not that I want you to be sick - in fact, quite the opposite...but while you're home getting well, might as well tell it the way it is, eh? :P

I feel a cold coming on too (well, it already came I should say).
That and what dumb ass insurance co doesn't let you remove collision coverage when you put a bike into storage (while leaving comp in place).
What company you ask??? GMAC!! Ended up canceling the policy altogether and switch to geico to get liability and comp.
Next season I may just stick with geico if their rates are close to gmac.

Been thinking about the flys out situation. Here is my plan. I am going to do the flys (if I can get a decent map) Then I am going to weld in a bung for a O2 sensor so I can dial it in without going to a dyno. Remember most of my riding is at 4500 and above and although the ECU will compensate I want it to be as good as possible. Then I want to do a dual super quiet pipe. I would like to find some triangular shaped cans. Need to talk to Kerry. I will build the Y pipe myself. Two quiet cans should flow well and still afford some back pressure. I am hoping for some more on top and any gains on the bottom will be just fine.
