Title: Wife got her bike. Post by: DexterMorgan on August 19, 2013, 07:23:21 PM Well she finally rode her home today. After a month without a bike, she was so excited. She lit up when she saw it. We both rode out of the dealer on our Monsters today. What a great day. We already have her tail chop waiting at the house, and I ordered her clear Motodynamics integrated taillight tonight. :) It's going to be a busy weekend coming up!

Post by: Barney on August 23, 2013, 05:28:43 AM now get her on the board so she can start modding the hell out of that thing.
i like the white/red combo. also, this is a great (albeit expensive) mod for to lose the passenger pegs on your evo...i may have to look further into this, you should too since you've already done the hard part!

[beer] Her and I did the tail chop and integrated tail-light today. Came out GREAT!! She wants me to post for her on the forum. She has her exhaust options narrowed down to Vance & Hines CS1, Arrow or Leo Vince. Suggetions on any of these 3? I have heard them all online, just not in person. Here are a few before and after pics.

I took mine off months ago lol Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: Barney on August 24, 2013, 03:28:19 AM i was talking about the "get her her own damn bike so she doesn't have to ride on the back of mine" mod lol.
is that the motodynamics tail light? i need to get me one of those... also, dont be so quick to rule out the sc project cans - those things look sweet too [thumbsup] Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: duc996 on August 24, 2013, 07:55:41 AM I would look into an SC project pipes, they look really good and i heard it has a pregnant dogin sound [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: justinrhenry on August 24, 2013, 01:01:38 PM there's so much awesome here. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: Skybarney on August 24, 2013, 01:07:10 PM Barney, To save Dexter the time, yup that is a Moto Dynamics taillight. I also have one. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTIONS [thumbsup]!
Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: SpikeC on August 24, 2013, 01:27:36 PM Regarding pipes, my first Monster had Leo Vince pipes and my wife said it sounded like a beater. She liked the Termy sound on my second one much better. I didn't mind it, butt YMMV.
Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: IZ on August 24, 2013, 01:33:22 PM [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: DexterMorgan on August 24, 2013, 06:39:59 PM I will definitely look into the SC project pipes and see if she likes them. I just started working for a Ducati Dealer so i do get break on the Termi's, but i do not want us to have the same pipes. ;)
Once we have our Dyno room finished, i am going to have my bike and hers tuned. Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: bob795 on August 24, 2013, 07:17:38 PM Lovely bike Dex [thumbsup]
I like the tail chop. I like the looks of a bike without that rear fender and I would like to do it on my bike too ... but since I often ride in rain, I need that rear fender. Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: DexterMorgan on August 24, 2013, 07:50:17 PM Thanks Bob......these bikes will never see rain unless we get caught while taking a long trip. If the weather calls for 40% or more chance of rain, they stay inside. ;D

Title: Re: Wife got her bike today! Post by: DexterMorgan on September 03, 2013, 09:36:32 PM She got her Vance and Hines CS1 slip ons today. I will be posting pics in the mods section once they are on. Keep an eye out. ;)

Title: Re: Wife got her bike. Post by: DexterMorgan on September 04, 2013, 07:50:57 PM Sorry I'm late to the party...congrats to you and your woman Dex [beer] Hey, thanks for joining the party! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Wife got her bike. Post by: DexterMorgan on September 07, 2013, 10:08:14 PM So i have pulled the left side muffler off no problem. The right one has to be stuck. It will not com off!
Any tips/tricks you guys used when removing the stock mufflers? Title: Re: Wife got her bike. Post by: bob795 on September 08, 2013, 06:15:40 AM I sprayed the connection between the slip-on and the header with PB blaster IIRC then wiggled it and twisted it hard. It came off eventually...but I don't know if it's the PB blaster or the wiggling and twisting that got it off ;D
Oh and I did it when the engine and the exhaust is cold. The next several times I removed the LV slip-ons, i also did it when the bike is cold. Title: Re: Wife got her bike.

Title: Re: Wife got her bike. Post by: DexterMorgan on September 08, 2013, 11:25:23 AM I actually just sprayed a tiny bit of Wd-40 on it and let it sit for 20 mins. It was enough to pull it off. Put them on, they sound awesome. Pics later.
