yup got her back from the shop today!! dang that d&d pipe is NASTY!! i love it. is running heaps better than when i first got it. the new pick up and having the carb probs fixed has made a big difference. still a bit fluffy in top sitting on 8000rpm. will be getting a jet kit in the next few months which will hopefully fix that once its tuned. flatout change from 1st to second saw the front wheel jump off the ground a little which really suprised me!!! will post some pics eventually when its lookn a bit better. pilot powers feel really good will go for a good ride tomorrow before embarking on a 1500km trip this weekend.

1500 kms and that D&D??? Two words for you, my friend... ear plugs!

I agree, if I don't have plugs with my V&H I'm hurting after 30-45min!

Haha. it's not just the loud pipes, earplugs are good protection from the freeway wind and the screaming old ladies.

Yeah - he actually has my old D&D. It really didn't bother me too much if I were out having fun in the twisties but on my commute, cruising at 7-8K for long periods.... my ears were ringing when I got home if I didn't use plugs. Glad you got her running nice, millsi.
