Now that freakin song's in my head. GAAAH! sing it for us..... WARNING!!! RANDOM THOUGHT..... You know what I always thought a good album title would be for Laura Branigan (Smash hit "Gloria" from 82)? "Brag'n again." Get it? Laura Branigan's "Brag'n again" album? Huh? Huh?
Yeah, I won't hold my breath. 25 years since this "one hit wonder" did anything. I'm not thinking she is going to put out anything really soon..... |
Cute, but I think her people will call your people.

Especially the Rainforest and the one exhibit where the T Rex is eating the other dinosaur. I think that's usually where we would eat our lunch! We used to eat there, too! There, or in the Streets of Old Milwaukee. Do they still have that? Last time I was there they still did have it. I think that exhibit is almost older than the real Streets of Milwaukee although it sure is memorable. |

They are the one major manufacturer who builds exhaust for mine and it isn't even close to the best looking. Big step back from stock: http://www.twobros.com/cgi-bin/shopper?search=action&sku=005-15404&... The integrated tail with signals on the footpegs sounds interesting. Some day I will either sell this bike or get rid of the mudflap that came on the back of it.Sprint_DA - 2008-05-09 9:00 AM Rynamite - 2008-05-09 7:54 AM double bubbles and flushmounts are overrated. Actually the only mods I really hate on sportbikes are lowering, stretching, chrome, and that stupid integrated brake light where you don't have rear turn signals anymore. Because car drivers see that. Edited: at least you don't have to worry about exchange rate. For the really popular exhaust for the Sprint you have to go through a company out of England called Wolf. I think they finally lowered the cost of what is basically a slip on to just under $1k.Sprint_DA - 2008-05-09 8:49 AM Rynamite - 2008-05-09 7:36 AM I'd call customer service at the second place and ask them if they will price match the first place. No need to tell them it's backordered. After that I'd probably just buy it, unless your exhaust is a lot cheaper than the options out there for my Triumph $90 is just another drop in the bucket. That's why mine still has the original silencer on it.Alright... I ordered exhaust for my streetbike. I got an awesome price, but they just called and said it's backordered til the beginning of July. Bah. There's another place that it's in stock and can ship the same day.... but it's $90 more. If it were something different, I'd probably just wait... however that's 2 months of summer that I'm not gonna get to use it if I do. Think it's worth the extra 90 bucks to have it sooner? I tried that. They WILL match the price.... in 2 months as well. Apparently there are 2 different kinds of distributorships, and the one that gets the better price is super backordered, the other is available. Yeah... it's not cheap... so $90 in the scheme of things isn't that big of a difference. It would take a nice chunk out of the frame sliders I ordered, though... or a fender eliminator kit... or a double bubble windshield... or flushmount signals... I was planning on doing the integrated tail light... BUT also getting rear pegs with LED's that work as turn signals... to increase visibility. They look pretty sweet, and you can't even tell they're there until they're blinking, then they're super bright. That sucks about the exhaust... it's crazy how expensive that stuff is getting. I could go with Yosh or Two Brothers and save a bunch of money... but they're obnoxiously loud... and kinda junky. That doesn't look toooo bad.... but you're right. At least they put it under the seat, that's how mine is too. I hate the trend of the little tiny sidepipe. I think they look stupid. Here's what I'm getting. Oooh Akra. I've heard lots of good things about their systems. My issue with the 2bros pipe for mine is basically because this is what the tail looks like from the factory and I think the 2bros takes away from it. BTW: not my bike, but one in someone's user album on the triumph site I post on. http://www.triumphrat.net/memberalbums/showphoto.php/photo/5880/ppu... |

I don't mind my yosh exhaust on mine (it is a little louder than I would prefer, but not bad) I got the carbon fiber version and it looks tight.... Also installed a new dynojet jet kit and K&N Filter. I have always pretty much like the "stock" look of stuff, but did add some carbon fiber accents (gas cap, tank protector) I'm ordering a new seat that has carbon fiber looking material. Smoked windshield..... Oh yeah, had to get rid of the rear fender ASAP. Oh yeah - ALSO added a rear brake light modulator to "pulse" I like the added safety factor. I intend to install the headlight modulator, but haven't gotten around to it yet. The kit has been sitting in the garage for months now....
