I like it, looks like a face.
Getting Renthal bars fitted on Wednesday. I wanted something wider and a little lower, will let everyone know how they are. (hope they reduce the vibes as well)

That'd be Mark - he goes under the name of Dr Sardonicus, in the Mountain Rider series. Has a couple of good, on board high sides in that series! It almost convinced me to get a Hornet as well, the double headlight conversion changes the whole bike.Originally Posted by skelstar
He Rides an R1 now and has almost finished a series of vids with that.

Yeah, have downloaded 3 of the MR series. I want(ed) his Remus cans.
Love the shot of the Harley plopping by, then the shot of the Hornet on its back-wheel following the Hardly. V-cool.

I would definately be interested in seeing pics once you have the new bars. I think they will reduce the vibes and I really want to go a bit lower aswell. Keep us posted!!!
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

How did you remove the baffles in your cans? Were they a sealed unit or have riveted cap or something?
A couple of people have asked for photos of the headlight mods that I have made to my bike.
XB12S Headies
A while ago I saw a video of a guy on a Hornet that sported Buell XB12S headlights. It looked the shizz and found that the headlights and bracket would only cost about $200. Sweet. Had a look on eBay and found a guy that was making and selling XB12S Lightning screens in carbon fibre for about US$65.
So once I got all the parts I whipped the original headie off and made up the simple bracket that was going to hold the Buell bracket that holds the screen abd headlight. I had also paid a man some money (in US) for some instructions on wiring/bracket mods, and for a bit of piece of mind.
First bracket (stainless) was a bit short and the headies pointed the lights a bit too high. Second (Al) attempt was better. Have yet to paint the bracket so its a bit ugo.
Wasnt completely sold on the look, but feel more pleased with it now. Havent seen anyone ride it yet so not sure what it looks like.
Exhaust
I removed the baffles from my cans. 45mins worth of work and I think the bike sounds fantastic. The tone would be better with a proper expensive pair of cans. Im just poor.
Tell you what, the 'Net is a pretty quite bike and I struggled to rev it much before (250 v-twin syndrome), but a ride in the Taka's with my newly aquired loud cans and my riding was tons quicker. Cars know you are there too when youre lane-splitting/filtering too.
Photos: apologies for the poor lighting. Another tropical day in Welly with a Sony camera.

Hey there, the baffles were removed with a hole-saw. Was fun

Hey. thanks for the advice, unfortunately being a 600 my can is slightly different to the twin nine hundy's. Turns out there is not many tried options that I can do to mine other than a new can which I think will be the safest and next mod for me baby.
So many things to do, so little money
