When I cut a window in a cat pipe I use the cut off wheel and cut the two short sides and top all the way through. Then I grind about halfway through on the bottom and use that as a hinge. You can bend it out and back once without it breaking. Remove catalyst, bend the metal back into place with perfect alignment and weld as usual.
Sounded good to me Mate it goes well with the look
Cheers Tony, launching next Wiha Tools prize draw tomorrow, gonna do the folding allen key sets, think they would be great for under seat tool kits ! Hope you're well mate, not long till Stormin now...
Seems like a lot of unnecessary time & work for minimal results. That being said, how much for the Pro Pipe??
(P) That's a much nicer warmer sound Del, I really like that!
Oh...Been looking forward to finally getting day out on my bike today after not having time for 3 weeks... Done my tyre checks this morning, and was greeted by a nail in my back tyre!!!
Pressure was still ok, but when I pulled the nail out, it lost air... So do your tyre checks boys!!!
3rd puncture in a year! CRAP!!
Blimey that sucks mate... are you gonna plug it, or is it too big a nail??
Moonfleet41 I plugged it to get where I needed to, but I'm a fast rider, and to be honest, I'd rather not risk a disaster for the cost of a tyre, so getting it replaced tomorrow.
Even though I've always ridden bikes, your daily checks video and tyre puncture video have both woken me up to how important it is, and introduced me to a simple and reliable fix.
You can teach an old dog new tricks 😊
Sounds great but what happens when you take a decatted bike for an MOT. Wont it fail on emmissions?
Morning Del, off to pick up the RSV4 now. The suns shining in leafy Barnet and I absolutely cannot wait to pick her up!
Plan is pick up the bike, get home before the rainstorms gather then to sit down to watch this video in full. Life doesn't get any better than that!
All the best mate,
Dai
Kareem Baddar thanks Kareem.
Nice bike, enjoy 👍🏻🏍❤️
Hi Dai, well we haven't heard fro you since you posted this, and it's 11pm now, so we assume you are still out playing lol which is exactly how it should be! Congratulations my friend, you deserve it... don't forget the photo !
Just a compliment, I'm from the US and you have the best how to videos on Harley .. every step explained as to how, what and why... Amazing work .
Thank you most kindly Sir, we really appreciate your kind sentiments... and glad the videos can help you , take care, keep in touch, all the best, Del
Agreed. Excellent work!
OMG I really hate you guys! It is Saturday morning and instead of being sat on my sofa eating bacon sandwiches in my pants, I now feel obligated to get out into the garage and start tinkering with my own Harley!
Thanks a lot guys.
why is that a bad thing?
91fisher Really? You honestly thought I was complaining???
Just remember buddy, be careful if you're gonna do some grinding, unless you put some trousers on... you don't wanna any stray sparks in yer y-fronts !!!!!!
I'd have to agree that it's got a less intrusive sound, certainly sounds that way on the vid. Do love the sound of HDs, test riding my first one on Monday after passing my test this week!
Just found this video and instantly fall in love with the paint scheme of this switchback.
Lovely....
Welcome aboard!
I think that is an improvement, both sonically and aesthetically. Vance and Hines have become the knee jerk choice for HD right through the entire range. I have V&H slip ons which came on the 72, and they're crackly, loud and lairy. I'd prefer something deeper sounding, because you're right. On a long day it can just get a bit old.
Hi Peter, I guess this is an all Harley system now, as the header pipe is totally factory, although it's got no cat anymore, and the cigar muffler is a Harley item... so happy with that... will see how it sounds on the road !!
I think it sounded much better.
Thanks Michael, listening to it again now that Pro-Pipe sounded tinny, perhaps it was the big empty void inside that pipe, compared to the tighter compact sound in the cigar muffler !
Wouldn't a heavy pipe actually damp the vibration of the engine?
That being said, less weight is always better.
The other advantage to gutting the cat besides weight is to prevent heat buildup around the cat back to the heads.
I was able to change my rear brake fluid without removing any parts. It wasn’t that bad.
Brakes bleed just the same as anything else. It isn't that complicated. No machine needed.
juding solely by the dates.....I would of changed the brake fluid......amazing how often it's overlooked, equally amazing why Harley buried it under 45 minutes worth of work.......
On a softtail deluxe baffle remove and replace it with a different baffle wat size of baffle need
I have the PRO Pipe to and think it is to loud. Unfortunatly i have not got the original
Hi Del, Great Video, What exactly is involved in remapping when changing exhaust? thanks in advance.
Hey Jack.. with a Harley, you fit a fueling device, many available, SE Pro Tuner, V&H Fuel Pack. etc... and for best results take it to a dyno and have them set it up for you... ! but the dealer can fit it to basic setting if you can't afford the dyno time or have no dyno centre close by.!
Just out of interest del, what do you think of the dyna rubber mounted engine system?
Delboy, that new pipe looks really nice and its good to see a classic design brought back by HD. Suits the black and cream paint job too.
If you want to get rid of the shudder/vibration that occurs around 2800-3000 rpm, you can do the "clevis pin modification". Essentially replace the rear muffler mount bolt with a clevis pin, rubber washer and spacer. I did mine, and fixed the vibration 100%. Instructions are here: switchbackowners.proboards.com/thread/1950
Thanks buddy, that's a well known fix now, appreciate the reminder, cheers!
What is tha whisle sound when you turn of engine 22:29
Go to all that trouble of a decat and refit the O2 sensors?
I am planning to purchase switch back 2014 with 3500 miles are good street bike
They certainly Are Nicholas.. based on a Dyna.. made for the street !
Hi Del, im watching this and not sure if i need to de-cat my exhaust ... i have a twin pipes from vance and hines, i see a round thing on the side of one of the pipes that looks like it does something automatically in the exhaust.????
Maybe the exhaust doesnt need anything done to it, it does lots of popping when im de-accelerating ... what do you think??
Hi Alexander, didn't catch exactly what your bike is? But the round thing you describe sounds like the standard Harley butterfly valve inside the link pipe, if that's the case, it's designed to stay closed under a certain revs and road speed and lets the bike breathe through one exhaust only... and than as you accelerate faster, the cables attached to that discs rotate it, open the inner valve and the bike breathes through both exhausts.... you can eliminate it, but you need to re-map the bike with a Pro-Tuner of V&H Fuel Pack, again not sure what bike you have, but that sounds like what you're describing!
Great job taught me something know
(P) I think I prefer the new sound, a little less aggressive plus you can sell the pro pipe & get some cash back 😀
Cheers buddy, could indeed... and am sure there would be plenty of takers, and maybe it will pay for some more bits on the bike !
I like the sound of the pro pipe better.
It certainly is a more raucous sound buddy, but it gets really intrusive around 300miles... so I guess it's a bit of a trade off for long distance comfort!
Tip on fitting HD exhaust gaskets,freeze them for 2 hours,they will go in easy!
Good tip!
Hey Del, have you ever ridden or considered a Thunderbird Storm , LT or the commander ?.
I rode a T-Bird Storm on a test ride say at the local Triumph dealer last year.... what a bonkers bike.. it was just awesome, really urgent and linear acceleration, and brakes to stop a freight train.....The one i rode had open pipes, and was all matt black.. wanted it there an then.. just couldn't afford one.. lol!
Australia has a No 2 pillion option?
Love my switchback
Love the look of the original pipe way more than the Vance & Hines. The tone is better IMHO. Even if the volume is the same, the V&H is way to raspy. Sounds more like a drag bike than the classic lines of a Switch Back would support. The Harley system looks proper with the style of that bike. Great looking bike. Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Regarding the rear brake master cylinder location I think Harley has been designing their bikes so the average person can no longer do their own service on them. I think the old style Pan Head fish tail muffler would look great on there. I always liked them over the cigar shaped muffler but it did come in a box with the bike so no costs.
The summer is a repeat of 2012 dell.
ISON SYSTEM is back again. NOT PlanetX psyop tho.
Solar flares are wreaking havoc on the magnetosphere and knocking power grids around.
Nice zuast.
Y'know, to anyone following the Colin Chapman Diet, eg. 'simplify & add lightness', the modern Harley must look like a medieval banquet. 'I know, lets rubber mount the engine, bolt the exhaust to a crane jib & use the muffler as a bar end weight, simples.'
Also feel sorry for the Harley design engineers who were told to "hide that ABS unit, completely, whatever it takes". Nurrr : ) x
P.S. Good luck to Dai - though, as yet, I can't quite see him sat at The Ace, ravenously wolfing down 'a full grease' to celebrate.
ABS on bikes scares me. Yes, yes, yes... it will probably stop the bike shorter than I can manually and it may save my ass sometime if and when I fail to spot some oil or black ice, but it takes away a degree of control over the bike ALL of the time and I like being in control (or feeling as if I'm in control, maybe?).
In fact, I have to admit I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to vehicles. If I get the impression a bus driver is a bit of a rookie, I just get off and wait for the next one. There's few people I'll happily get into a car with, even fewer I'll ride pillion with.
I mean the guy I used to work for and his wife had 17 accidents between them over the 22 years I was with the company. It was as if they accepted having accidents was part and parcel of driving (BTW, who says opposites attract :P ). One simply doesn't get into a car with people who have that mindset at the wheel.
Edit: just my imagination or is the factory aftermarket pipe vibrating more than the Pro pipe?
Edit of edit: duh, it's lighter, so it would. (can anyone tell I'm an engineer at this point? ;) )
Sounds so much better nice job del
Del,
The replacement pipe sound much better than the pro pipes. They look cooler too. I run a set of black Vance and Hines short shot staggered pipes with a stage one download on my 2014 Sportster "48". That along with a Screaming Eagle "big sucker" air intake system makes it a bit loud...but Spooky Fast!
I had the same 57' tank emblem on my Sporty an I like the look of yours too. Sporty was painted 28' (Harley boys asked their aunt to help pick color an she came up with this Orange color). Mine was Harley Orange along top an tank sides painted cream white, looked good, like Your wife's. Your exhaust undoubtedly, at 26 lbs, an massive size drove you nuts! Your change out sounded more throaty, deeper an loader, but hopefully not too load. I can't believe, then yah on second thought, how hidden the rear master cylinder is located on your bike. My first thought was to say, "Kenny what you doing"? But it's all about getting bikes into shops for more money in hours service time. I can see Harleys reasons (bread) an I can see you moving that master cylinder right up front where cylinder belongs! Must be nice have shop just for bike, haha! You realize good cameramen need treats to stay camera steady, haha!
So is the lighter pipe better vibration-wise? I have a FLD and love it, but I did have to do the clevis pin mod....or, my variation of it to cut down the vibes.
The lighter pipe certainly reduced that famous shudder you get as you roll up to the lights, but on the whole day to day, not a lot of difference !
Good to know! My bike has the V&H slip on muffler and it vibrated pretty bad idling, or anything above 70mph.(..in between idle and 70 she was pretty smooth) I did the procedure outlined in Service bulletin M-1324 as well as the clevis pin mod and bike is smooth now at any RPM or speed....she still has a little of that shudder while decelerating, but not bad at all, and I can live with it. Seeing how you said its not a lot of difference, I will probably just keep the V&H slip on.
Great video, just bought a low mileage Switchback to replace my Road King. I love the bike but wasn't aware that it had a cat! It has a Screaming Eagle tailpipe (looks like a Supertrap design) but I think it's standard headers - there is work to be done!
I got a Honda cbr 1997 600f as it's not starting on the switch as I will run on a bum start as I have checked all the wires and fuse
Hi buddy, have you checked the clutch switch on the handlebars?? Or maybe the side stand switch?? And do you have just fuses, or is there a starter relay on your bike??
thank you for your reply dei as I have checked all the switches as I don't have a clutch switch on my Honda cbr 600f 1997 model as the only I can think off is 2 check all the wires
Looks and sounds nice brother....nice job ....went to the Ace last night....love the place...such great food with music and great atmosphere 👍😀 take care and thanks for the vid...
And it looks sexy too ! 😉👍
Wow, I know you did this a long time ago, but that is one sexy looking bike. Just love that colour. RSMF
Not sure mate, visually I like the second pipe .i think the word you were looking for was tone. Great video very helpful.👍
As easy as that then 😬
Prefered before sound 😈
That rear brake cylinder, what a terrible design.
Yes indeed, not very cleverly thought out aye?
A lot of people think the Thunderheader 2 into 1 exhaust does not have a baffle in it but it does quite an interesting piece if you have never seen one. I kind of looks like it creates a vortex and maybe it does but it definitely helps with the distinct sound.
The best cure for the vibration of the rubber mounted motors on Dyna’s and touring bikes is rpm’s the more you put to the bike the smoother it becomes lol
(P) Just from the test in the garage, I think I like the sound better! Kinda like the look more too. Nice work Del...maybe we'll see an on the road comparison in the future?
Great video. I went from just oil changes to brake pads replacements, brake fluid change, and did my first fork seal job all thanks to you and your wife posting these videos. The fabrication videos are fun to watch but the how to videos really come in handy. Videos on shaft driven bikes, BMW rear wheel removal etc would be helpful to us rookies in the future if the opportunity comes up for you. Thanks again to the both you and Penny for doing these. Ride safe.
Yes, definitely deeper and a little smoother perhaps.. The original had a little bit of a sharpness, a harshness if you will, that has softened.
I like it.
A very nice job on the video (as usual). You had me smiling when you kept referring to the engine as a motor. I think it must be a UK thing lol. I called an engine a motor ONCE when I was about 9 years old and my grand dad gave me a slap upside the head. I'll always remember...."motors run on electricity, engines run on fuel." I was scarred for life lol, thanks for the flashback.
I just did the brakes on my Softail and cringed when I saw what you have to do to get at the rear master cylinder on your bike, what a bunch of wankers!
Thanks for sharing and a big thumbs up from the colonies. 👍👍
Cheers, Bob 😎
It's called a "motorcycle".
Very nice Del. I prefer the sound of the new pipe, and the look is much more in keeping with the style of the bike. Great video. Thanks!
Question: If I de-cat my 2016 Switchback, completely stock, will I have to tune it or will the brain of bike adjust? Simply trying to cool down right side of bike, hot here in Florida!
Hey buddy, yes if you're going to de-cat your Switchback, then you will need to re-fuel it, ir runs way too lean from the factory for that to be safe.
@@Moonfleet41 That's what I thought, don't want to go there, thank you.
@@Moonfleet41 Your videos are so very helpful! Thank you! I'm considering adding the same style cigar muffler which are available on ebay, one is 22" and I believe the other is 24". Are you completely satisfied with it? I like the idea of less weight with less vibration? Once again thank you from Daytona Beach, FL. Adam
@@adamtominsky1006 Hi again Adam, I don't think that a 2" difference in length makes any change to the way it performs, it's purely aesthetic IMO. It does give the bike an old school look, and thats what i wanted.. Hope that helps, take care.. Del.
I have a Stage I tune on my 2012 StreetGlide. After trying two different headpipes, I decided to De-cat my OEM headpipe. I did the modification as you describe here. I reinstalled the headpipe along with aftermarket mufflers. I'm happy with the sound and performance.
Good news Ardy, should bring you a little more power noe too.. cat just bungs it up!
yeah my rear reservoir is a pain to get to... i dont have to remove the exhaust, but still fiddly ... always worried i'll knock something into it trying to reach down to it.
BTW my buddy's ProPipe keeps breaking on his Dyna..I think you just explained why!
So if I remove and wrap the standard mini grenades baffle, will it quieten it up?
Love these videos and I know you hear that all the time, man that did make a difference. Question have you ever used a product for bike body etc. protection called F11, it's a spray protectant lots of hype, I tried it myself, seems to be ok don' t know about it's longevity
Hi buddy, I think I've heard of that, seems to ring a bell... but never used it! Let us know how you get on with it buddy, would be interested !
Hi, great videos. Glad I found you.
what is the HD part number for the muffler?
And what air filter is that?
Love the colour scheme, do you have a clip/pic with the saddlebags?
The muffler is a standard HD accessory, you'll find it in the accessory range on Harley's website, same as the air filter too, just a circular K&N filter, all genuine HD accessories!
The weight issue is a 100hp bike that weighs about as much as 7 things that weigh a lot.
Tenks for your video's help alat do you have one how to replace or works fouliector tks for your help
Much better. Both visual and audio. The V&H just didn't look right. It didn't jive with the aesthetics. The cigar pipe has as soft rolling thunder sound to it, much "warmer." Pleasant?
Thanks buddy , took it for a ride today, and it's exactly as your description... soft, rolling thunder... and still plenty roar-ty up at the top end !
good morning Mr Delboy just removed my cat converter on my 2011 street glide I have vance n hines slip ons my ? is do I need a fuelpak
Hi Frank, it would be a good idea, had you just fitted the slip on's only and nothing else, then you could do without it, but once you remove the cat you have vastly reduced back pressure, so you may as well fit a free flow air filter and a fuel pack, which will really wake the bike up as well !
Excellent video my friend. Next time an ABS Harley friend asks for help with brakes I believe I'll have other plans lol. Much warmer note on the exhaust afterwards, nice work!
BTW, really enjoyed the interview you forwarded on last week.
Best to you and Pen.
Thanks so much Scott, I believe you can change the fluid, well at least 90% of it by just bleeding the visible lines.. you cant get to the fluid in the pump without the special equipment.. but if you can live with a 90% partial change... then at least you can do that.. ill come to it at some point and make the video... but busy for now... take care buddy, and thanks for your kind support... Del.
Looks way better than the pro exhaust. IMO. Sounds better as well!!
Any tips on how to install those exhaust gaskets onto the manifolds
If you mean the ones at the header, then I usually insert them in to the cylinder head, not on to the manifolds, I presume that's what you mean....
Moonfleet41 yes thank u..i ended up making a tool to seat them. Made from a bolt and washers and a nut
good job,good sound. the look suits the bikes style more i think.all the best.
Hello, that was just what I needed to view, thanks. I am in the process of doing my exhaust on my 2016 FLD. Are there other 'switchback' videos you've produced?.....DougR.
Hi Doug, thanks for your kind comment, i haven't done a lot to the Switchback since ive owned it, it came to us pretty immaculate, and freshly serviced by the dealer we bought it from.. but anything i have done is in the "Harley Videos" playlist mate.. Good luck with yours, and have great weekend mate.. Del.
Looks classic, and sounds much better IMO.
Nice job
Definitely more bassy, and easier on the ear, the big test now will be the ride and if the 3 KG (3 large bags of sugar, that's how I always think of how heavy a Kilo is) missing will make the difference, fingers crossed and looking forward to seeing the result.
Yes mate, nipping over to the Harley show tomorrow, so will find out ! All the logic says, it should be better... we shall see lol !
Exhaust sounds like it has a little bit more bass to it.. Even though the audio voor this vid has been automatically downmixed when you uploaded it to youtube you can tell that it's loud!
Thanks buddy, appreciate you noticing that... it is a lot louder in reality, it just seemed to lose a bit in editing... like you say, I think it levels it all to the same, I should have put a decibel meter on it before I changed it ! Lot happier with it now ...
Great vid DelBoy. Love how u explain things. You still got the Switchback?
Thanks you for your kind words, Sadly not now Bob, i sold it a while ago
Good morning from Texas. I recently found your channel and wanted to say I'm loving it.. And... Your work shop is a testament to a space being utilized to it's fullest.. You are so organized "I could learn lots from you on that !!" keep up the great work sir!
Hi Don, wonderful to hear from you Sir! And thank you for your kind words, I'd give anything for a bigger garage, but over here in England, this size is normal! Welcome aboard, great to have your support, take care, stay in touch, and enjoy the weekend!
Hey Del. My 2014 iron has ABS and i changed the break fluid on it the other week. I followed the vid you put up and there whers no issues, I'm sure you would be fine to change the switchbacks fluid.
Hey buddy, you can bleed through the section from the master cylinder to the caliper, and I believe that, provided you don't turn the ignition on at any point during the process, you won't have any problems... and the same goes for the rear, but if you are looking to change all the fluid, inc. the stuff that runs through the central pipe work and the pump, then that does need to be plugged in, but you're right, you can change it if you're happy with a partial change, then maybe just every 5-6yrs get the dealer to get the full amount... !
Can you post a link to the Switchback forum?
Thank you for the great tip at 20:15 about feeling the header bite when being tightened to the manifold, feeling like it's stripped then eventually tightens down with compressible gasket. I'll be swapping out my exhaust soon and have never done it before. This sounds like something that could have given me an anxious few minutes if not for your comment.
Most welcome buddy, if you are fitting new gaskets, (which is a good idea), then they will crush up quite a bit.. but maybe not so much if you're re-using the old ones.. you just need to use some common sense and feel for it.. Good luck and have fun.. Del.
I'm not sure which one I like better for sound ...but the new exhaust looks better. I have Vance and Hines on my Fatboy and it's tough on my hearing on long rides.
Great job Del
Thanks buddy, that's something we thought too, a set of short shots sounds just glorious, but on a 200 mile trip, it can get really hard work!
Del can you get the Crome cover for a triumph thruxton xden
Del use PVC cleaner to remove silicone not damage paintwork great stuff we use bottles of the stuff
Cool, thanks for the great suggestion, appreciate it!
wow some seriously good editing in that video, well done as always ....
I have a Dyna Superglide.
Last Harley i ever buy.
Last Harley you buy because you love it so much..?
Nope.
Got a Superglide new. I wish they would have let me test ride it first.
Terrible front breaks that i had to upgrade, rear breaks not much better, terrible rear suspension i had to upgrade, ran lean and poorly from the factory until i reprogrammed it. Three separate oil baths? That went out in the early 1970's.
I would think that a "premium" brand would be better.
In 2018 there is no brand loyalty any more and younger people won't accept product fails like that.
On a lighter note... love the video's! Thanks for taking the time and posting for us.
Ever do any work on a 675R? I have a 2014 as a track only bike and would love to learn from the master :)
Oh i see, you are dead right on all of the above.. shit brakes, shit handling, and technology they used to make the pearly gates.. cant deny any of that...but thats the point.. it makes us old gits feel at home in a fast moving techno world..lol.. Sadly no on the 675. i have loved the Striple ever since i saw Ernie Vigil do the stunt video on them, what a bike..... just never got round to testing one.. every time i come close i just see the Speedy 1050 and ride that instead lol.. and yeah, id love one of them too..!!!!!
Great video man! I love my switchback. Can you please tell me what seat you have on your switchback?
The seat's a Le Pera Bare Bones !
Sounds great and looks much better.
It's still a great looking bike and sounding a lot better
Sounds better now matey, looks better to, will see and hear it in the flesh tomorrow, regards Stu 👍🔧🤘
Yes, buddy, we are aiming to get there about 11am... see you then, looking forward to it !
Thank you for your video’s. Last year I bought a 2007 harley davidson softail custom. And your video’s inspire confidence! I did a full service myself and enjoyed it very much! It all adds to the hobby of riding and now starting to work on motorcycles. Do you still own the dyna? I haven’t seen a video of it in a while. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Hi Kevin.. thank you so much for your kind words, its great to hear that you have been inspired to do your own work, and i hope you;re really enjoying your Harley... Yes i still have the Switchback, i love it very much, im off on a 200 mile ride this Sunday to meet some friends on London... i cannot see myself selling it for another Harley model any time in the future...i do really love the Street Glide, and the Road King.. but when you do the figures, its the same 103 engine, makes the same power etc.. but they are both 50kg heavier.. that equates to a slower bike, and the dimensions are almost the same.. maybe 2" here and there, but nothing obvious when you look at the bikes side by side.. also the Dyna platform they built the Switchback on will always handle better then the heavier touring models.... i think once you have found your favourite Harley, you'll stick with it for life.. they'll certainly last you that long if you take care of them....I have done some recent videos on it. I did two videos on some brake maintenance over the last two Sundays. and will always load up any of the routine servicing and repairs that come up..but its not a project bike, so it wont be more then now and again, im too busy riding it..lol.... Take care and enjoy your Harley my friend.. all the best.. Del.
Moonfleet41 that’s good to hear. Enjoy yourself Sunday!
I can buy a cigar style muffler for mt switchback, are you happy with the muffler? Adam in Daytona.
Yes it was a while ago, I was happy with it, it was a genuine Harley Davidson pipe, they offer it as a universal accessory, good sound and a good quality finish!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanx, Just got it today and it's 24" long which seems a bit small, does that sound right, could you check please, thanx again Adam.
@@adamtominsky2812 No I can't check, I sold this bike 3yrs ago, but provided it's a genuine H-D one, then yes it was about 24" long...
@@Moonfleet41 So one last question, the clamp around the muffler seems to have fit on stock switchback bracket, that's the way is looks in video ? Is that correct? Thanx again, Adam
@@adamtominsky2812 Yes I belive I used the stock bracket, but once again it was 3yrs ago so can't be 100% sure!
Could you take a picture of how the exhaust mounts from the back side
Not sure what you mean buddy, are you having a problem with yours?!
Sounds much better! Looks cooler too...
[p] Nice job Del . Sounds very nice .Greats tips on fitting up stuff .
Cheers Pete.
Thanks Pete, very much appreciate your support !
Hi Del , I like the sound of this pipe better then the pro pipe, good video mate.
Thanks buddy, certainly looks better, it's a little quieter on the road, until you really leather it, and it does, actually, seem to have a tiny bit more bottom end grunt, perhaps due to the back pressure.... We did get your email regarding the work round, had a busy day, just trying to catch up with everything, and will certainly give that a try as it's great news, even if it only gives you a partial change, that's better than leaving it in there for years ! Will email back shortly buddy...Thank You
I did the same with my '13 Roadie except used Ceramic Coating which is supposed to allow more even and quicker heat transference. Nice look to the finished Tip mate. Really like the two tone look.. cheers!
Thanks again Lee... i can't claim credit for th paint. its was the vision of the first owner who bought it new.. he wanted it to look like a 58 Duo Glide.. and i think he did a good job.. im rerally proud to own it, and wont be changing the paint at all...
Moonfleet41 I had a set of Vance Headers and Reinhart Cans and wanted to swap to CFR Cans. A local mad Genius Tuner suggested I go back with De Cat Headers which I did. Better Tune and most importantly Heat Transference. I don't run anywhere as hot as I did with the V&H Headers. Regardless, happy 13th Mate and peace from Canada. You're the only Mech I can watch for hours!
Thank you for your kind words again my friend, I think you'll enjoy Sunday's video, am getting bored with my brake light sticking on on my Dyna, it's apparantly a common fault, so decided to fix it, once and for all, and naturally thought I'd share it with the world - hope you enjoy it... ride safe, all the best, Del
triumph America simplicity
