The mods went well overall. Chopping the rear fender was very simple and turned out awesome! It's always a little nerve racking taking a saw to your bike..
however. The exhaust install was very simple as well, 25 minutes and it was done. After I got the exhaust installed, that where thing went downhill. What's the first thing you want to do when you install an exhaust system? Well of course it'd be nice to hear what it sounds like and take it for a spin. After wiping off all the finger prints, I fired the bike up and it idled for a few seconds an died...no biggy I though, it's been 4 months since it's been run. I tried to restart the bike and that's when I realized the 'ol battery was giving up. I was finally able to get it started over the weekend and take a short (wanted to stay close to home in case it died) ride to try out the new mods. Overall I am very happy with the Remus system as far as the exhaust note goes. Chopping the rear fender gives the bike a more aggresive look and I've had 3-4 people ask me about the rear tire already, wondering if I put a larger rear tire on...and I said nope, but I chopped the fender so you can see it now!
I just placed an order for an Odyssey battery and the CP clips so hopefully it'll be here this weekend so I can get it installed! I've got a tripped planned to go out to NC and hit the tail of the dragon, Blueridge Parkway and the Cherahola Skyway in May...I can't wait! This will be the 1st trip out there on my RR.
Pictures of the exhaust and rear fender to come....
