Opened up a little but I didn't drill the last baffle like some say too..... and it has a deeper note to it now but not loud :D

I have had my bike for a touch over 1 month now and only done the above but 2 weeks of that I was away and I had to get my old bike ready to sell so I hadn't done much.... But this weekend I put a fair amount of time in to it :D
I hadn't been happy with pushing the bike around, foot pegs are right in the wrong place.... I decided to raid the floor boards that fold up from my old bike..... Unfortunately the adapters I had wouldn't work as it would lift the boards to high so out comes the grinder and welder....mount sorted bar the paint on the adapters.

A few pics of the progress so far

Dry fit almost done, a little bit of tweaking to do to ensure everything is lining up to what I want.
Then it will be strip them down, paint the frames and floor board adapters and bags, I am not quite set on the design of the paint yet .
I am also thinking I might beef up the Hard bags frame so I can fit a tow bar to it
The frame is easily removed for tire changing but I am told if you drop the shock bolt the wheel hangs low enough to remove without removing the rear guard section... I will try when I lube the drive cog and check the bearings (rear guard bolts of above the tail light for easy wheel removal) If I can leave the frame there I might look at a tow plate a little more (not a tow ball type)
