Default New Mods

So I just wanted to post a couple if pics of my most recent mods. First one I did was Churchkey's VbakImageUploadedByMO Free1353637918.988293.jpg
The install is pretty straight forward . Woody's instructions are spot on and if you follow written instructions well it is a snap. I unfortunately do better with pics but that's just me. Like I said his instructions are spot on an he includes his phone number if you need to call him. I figured it out and all in all I think it took me 3.5 or 4 hours. What a difference . The low end grunt on this thing is almost primal. It literally gave me chills again. Like riding it for the first time again. Thanks again Woody!

The other mod was my seat. I ended up getting a PCS potato chip seat done.

I went with the faux ostrich skin. The turn around time was about 2.5 weeks from the day I sent it out. I sent them my seat since I was working out of town and couldn't ride anyway. Very comfortable. I haven't been on any long rides yet but my arse does not get numb after 10 miles like the stock seat so there's that anyway. Anyway just thought I would share. Happy thanksgiving to everyone.

Nice to see the bike progressing.
Everyone likes a seat mod!

No doubt about it - the VBAK is one h*ll of an improvement!
Not just in terms of performance....

The intake sound at full throttle adds to the - I've fallen in love again" experience too.

That it does for sure. Between that and the rumble of my Monster propipe it really has a great grunt on takeoff.
