Very nice RAT! I do like the yellow  I managed to ride to work today. It was awesome.....as expected. I can't believe 2 owners ago the guy disabled the kickstand cutoff so you could start the bike with the stand down...and the p/o PAID a dealer to fix it back to stock....I'm gonna have to re-reverse that as I can't sit on it and warm it up every AM before work. Yup...go figure on some DPOs' ideas....my old Duc was a carbed 96 M900....sold it at 25K miles and got off the bikes for a year or 3 got the itch again and found the yellow dog for 4500 w/only 5k miles on it and snapped it up.....had been sitting for a few years even came with the immobilizer key and the card, manuals etc I tail-chopped, new michelin tires, new belts, oil, and then started the other mods once I confirmed it was a runner finding the time to ride it is my challenge these days....I only have it up to 7K miles |

This one had just under 10,300 on it when I got it. I'll probably put quite a few commuting miles on it this year as I suffer from the same issue as you, finding time to ride. I'll try to hit the mountains on the weekends as much as possible, but we'll see where that gets me  |

Looking good Now you can chop those Termi's (yeah, I know) for a sound and visual improvement |

Upon further inspection.....aren't these already chopped? Most other Termis I see on this style look longer.

Methinks you are correct - I chopped my Remus just enough to eliminate the forward rivet hole for the logo Mine are really short - maybe that's why I missed yours....... They almost line up with the rearmost part of the bike which is the aesthetic I was going for. |

Pretty sure those are chopped. Otherwise they would stick out past the chopped tail...

Yeah, they sound great....not sure if I want to change them or not. I do like them, but I miss my DP low mounts......hmmmm.....they'll do for now. |

I'll probably keep them. I usually go with higher pipes on my bikes. Should the clamp have the bolt through it and then into the mount or be on both sides of the mount with the bolt through? It seems too tight with them on the same side, but loose on opposed sides.... |

The 900 must have low mount pipes. |
