Thank you.

Basically your bike, with some mods.   Same exhaust even.

Do you have any baffles on that exhaust?

[cafeducati]

I sure do.

They are metal internal baffles that I put in myself to create some resemblence of back pressure.

The exhaust started out as a Carby Arrow Full Syst.  I was utterly irritated that the exhaust had to be partly removed to take the rear tire off.   So I created what I thought was a compliment to the cafe' theme I was shooting for.

The baffles are directly under the foot peg.   They are in the middle segment of the exhaust, the last few inches of straight pipe.  Some bending, cutting of the baffles had to be done.

She actually has no airbox as well.  If you look through the trellis, you can see the forward pod filter.

I lost top end (which is not exactly significant in the first place) for a 10 bhp boost in midrange.  This is all with a custom map for the PC III usb from DUCSEA.   

This pic is right before packing her up for the 2010 USGP in Monterey.   

I must say that if you have not tasted clipons on the Monster Series of bikes, it is like having a shot of vodka with every meal.   Very nice, great feeling, but after excess, it kinda hurts.

I wouldn't ever go back to the high bar.   I love it.

Any videos of it online?

[cafeducati]

Why YES my Good Man,...

Three that I know of currently.

Enjoy.   There is a vid that will be uploaded from Mt St Helens soon.  It is from 2009 though.

How did you cut the exhaust?

[DucHead]

@cafeducati - when the directions said to mount your clip-ons below the triple clamp, they meant the top triple clamp.   

Jeebus they're low!!!

[cafeducati]

Heath, the exhaust was thermal coated and then cut with a dremel using a fiber blade.  In hindsight, the coating should have happened AFTER the cutting.  What was I thinking.

LOL, thank you DucHead.  I ride her long distance like that, and it pains in between the shoulder blades and neck, but it is worth it.

Clipons 1-2 inches up might be wisest, but I do not want to change mine, I adore the dedicated position.

The pegs touch on the track, so that needs to be addressed.

Ugly Duckling, have you taken off your rear wheel yet?

not sure what you mean? 

[DucHead]

not sure what you mean? 

I think he means that your exhaust prevents wheel removal, so the cans (and maybe the link pipes) must be removed first.  That's how my Termis were.
