As I mentioned previously, I'll start with removing the rear cones and drilling 6 or 8 1/2" holes and see how it sounds. In terms of the AIS, I wasn't aware of this either. I read and printed the AIS removal articles from the tech articles. There was an addendum article for '04 but, it looks like my '05 will be the same. Can anyone confirm that? Also,where do I buy the AIS removal kit? I have an 08 are the instructions any different?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #267521 dodadnules (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Just took a quick look (I'm fortunate to have the Roadie stored in the heated warehouse at my office) and the AIS hoses attach to the heads in an entirely different way than '99-'03 or '04. Maybe they are trying to prevent us from removing it?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #267571 Old Retired Cop (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I did my '08 last summer. It's actually easier than the older models. The head plugs they describe sound like a real bear to get at....On an '08, it's just a matter of "bolts" to remove and replace. Won't take you long at all. Make sure you get a kit for the '08, not older bikes. Good luck   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #267689 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I love it when people take stuff off their bikes!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #267780 Pharllap (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 23 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago     Logged     Last Edit: 2010/03/25 01:21 By Pharllap.

So, should I do it on the bike or take them off. If I take them off, any suggestions for how to hold them securely? How many of you drilled them on the bike and then took them off to clean them out? Hey, btbeam, so your bike is backfiring now? What year is it? The AIS removal instructions, both '99-'03 and '04 do not match my bike. I have an '05. Also, anybody know where to buy the removal kit?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #268153 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   J&P Cycles will have the removal kit. I did a stage 1 on a bike last year and left the pipes on the bike. When I was done I used a shop vac to suck out any metal particles and it worked out great. Quick and easy.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #268181 dodadnules (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I WAS SO WRONG!! After a closer look, my '05 AIS system is exactly as shown in the tech article on the forum. I was looking at the wrong hoses. So, I'm going to drill and listen but, regardless of backfire, will remove the AIS as per the instructions. I found a kit for like $25 but, not at J&P. They don't seem to have the one for '04 and newer.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #268184 dodadnules (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:Stage 1 Exhaust Modification 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Just bought the AIS removal kit from J&P for $32. It was hard to find on their site, had to call. The kit was $22 but, shipping & handling was $10. Highway robbery but, what are you gonna do. It includes the nozzle plates and rubber caps, etc., for everything else. It's all black so, should look fine on the bike. Say so long to the AIS on the Roadie!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
