I'm still curious about Mr. Ramos' question above. Inquiring minds want to know!

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Well, I went back through the thread and I believe the question is full flow or baffled muffler.

The new RPM exhaust will be full flow muffler and there is a procedure in place for "breaking in" a new muffler to prolong muffler life.

Several emails exchanged last week regarding the exhaust, I am still shooting for the first of the month. It is amazing how the smallest items are the hardest to work out...

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

Me too. I assume for the exhaust coating (ie heat cycles)?

No, the test system they sent me was pretty ugly as it was all a bunch of pieces welded together. It was a different application muffler and did not fit like I had hoped. After I test fit and rode to make sure nothing was an issue I sent it back with changes required. All of the changes were made on the fitment bikes and I have see those photos & videos, but it still is the ugly welded piece exhaust.

Okay, I just got off of the phone with the manufacture. The jigs have finally been completed and the production run started this morning.

They say the systems will be completed be the end of the week, they should be assembled and ready to ship to me the first of next week.

So, hopefully just a couple more weeks and I will have them on the shelf.

Once I get them I will get both versions mounted up, photos taken and listed on the website.

I do and will not know the price until the shipping method is determined. Not sure if we are shipping via UPS or a pallet on a carrier at this point until they are all built and boxed. Once I have that cost I can determine the out the door price.
