#155930 ednier (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 56 INSTALLING NEW PIPES - CAN I DO IT? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I am looking at a couple different types of pipes to replace my stock pipes. The shop said since my bike is not fuel injected it would require re-jetting of the carb. Being clueless I would say okay. But I've read some things in this clinic that state otherwise. So I'm inclined to believe what I've read. Only the pipes will be replaced. Any further comments on that? Also if I don't need any additional work is it an easy swap out? Can I remove my own pipes and put the new ones on without much difficulty? I like to do things myself but have no experience on bikes. Thanks.

As long as its just pipes. What are you putting on? Do they have baffles? If they are open pipes you may need to tweak the PMS but thats about it. And yes you can do it yourself.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #155934 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:INSTALLING NEW PIPES - CAN I DO IT? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Rich, if you know which end of a screwdriver to hold on to, you should have no problems..The duals are probably the hardest to put on. but not bad. plenty of help here if ya need it... At most you may need to adjust the pms, no jetting required unless you change the air box also....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #155942 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:INSTALLING NEW PIPES - CAN I DO IT? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Look here .....

I haven't chosen yet. First upgrade and would like to hear them somehow first. Looking at descriptions doesn't help a lot. But was looking at VH Big Shots or Power Shots. Like the look. Also Cobra gives you sound clips on their website and like the Speedster Slashdown. The stock pipes look great but don't have the sound I'd like. I like a good rumbling, not to annoying, rumbling when I'm riding, and maybe a little more noise when accelerating. That's my guess for now.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #155966 ednier (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 56 Re:INSTALLING NEW PIPES - CAN I DO IT? 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Thank you.
