Be sure to post an update on the rear sets when you get them installed. I am particularly interested in the ease of install and what the new foot position is like compared to stock. Rearsets are my next upgrade and the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger are these two concerns.
Thanks!

I picked up the Sato rearset the other day and spent last night installing them. Although I cannot point to anything being particularly hard, it did take me a couple of hours to install them. There was just a lot of little things that ended up taking more time than you would think. One of the bolts for the left side did not line up and required a little filing, nothing to major. The real time drain was fitting all the parts together, testing out the configuration, and then taking it apart to add the loctite. In essence you almost have to assemble them twice. Still I prefer doing it myself than taking it to a shop.
Overall I am happy with the look of the Sato rearset. They definitely cleaned up the looks of the bike and combined with the BoomTubes, they look great. I have not had a chance to ride the bike yet or take pictures. I will update when I shortly with pictures shortly.

Thanks for posting a clip! I'm shocked they're not louder than that honestly. How do they compare to non-baffled termis? The termis are pleanty loud enough for me, and I freaking love the look of the boom tubes, but I can't let the bike be any louder than it already is given neighbors and all. So, certainly louder than stock, but are they louder than non-dBkilled Termis?
Great stuff man!

I don't have a set to do a side-by-side comparison, but I am pretty sure that the fully baffled BoomTubes are quieter than then unbaffled Termis. |

+1 An Ohlins rear shock and OZ forged billet wheels did wonders for the handling when I made the changes to my M1100. |

That really did clean up the back end! Very nice. I am very interested in the first ride impressions of the new rear sets.
Thanks.

Great tubes! I've got mine on order, would appreciate any hints / tips on the install The installation wasn't too bad. The hardest part was fitting the pipes together. The joints are very tight and I needed to sandpaper down the ceramic coating to get them to fit. Mark suggested this and it worked fine. Although, it still took some time to get things together. I ended up assembling everything off the bike first. I then removed the front cylinder header from the collector (this took a lot of patients and strength) and put the exhaust on in two parts. After this pre-assembly, the front header went on pretty smoothly. |

A liberal application of graphite powder will also help tight pipes to slip together/come apart in the future. ggemelos.. Great job . Looks great  . |
