          I don't have a video recorder :( and my cell phone is a pay by the minute throw away type so it doesn't have a recorder either. My computer has a built in camera maybe that would work?

        I will make a video of it once mounted and I'm waiting for crush washers and the pipe brackets to finish the job and I have it tore down right now putting all the parts on the bike but of course the pipe mounts are oem and take forever to get hell maybe I'll get a video recorder while I'm waiting :)

       Well it's done and I'm much happier with the new look as you can see the silencer goes on forever stock



       This is the shortened silencer much better and a video with sound will come after the silicone sets up

           Heading to walmart tonight to buy new video recorder I should have done it a long time ago but the time is here :) might take me a second to get the hang of it though.

         Had the wife go pick one out at wally world $250 sony handycam with case and a bunch of other crap that is pissing me off :( it has something like 8 million zoom just kidding it's 64x zoom and is a really nice camera but I'm a whiz with thermal optics and NVGs pvs 14 but my curve is slow on this new cam.

IMS pro pegs are on and pic of new camera that should have a video with sound for you tomorrow if all goes well :)



New camera and case :)

          Well 89kaw things weren't always the way they are now and there was a time when I could barely afford gas in my bike let alone aftermarket parts but a good military career and decent job combined with a wife that buys a lot of crap which makes it ok for me to buy a lot of crap :)

          The key is trade off value with the wife she buys some goofy girl crap for $20 and I buy a $100 part lol and she never seems to notice even though college educated has her BA in psychology cumme summe laude or maybe she is just using psychology on me and plans on spending a fortune on something I'm not sure :)

          I'm 43 years old and fairly comfortable with everything paid off from cars to house and property so it makes it easier to buy crap but I was thrifty when I was younger so I could have everything paid off at this age. The wife picked the camera out and it looks like a dandy I should have that video with sound up tomorrow my question is how do I make it so you can see it and hear it?

LOL yeah that should be about it but turns out the battery is flat out dead on this recorder :( but the good news is that my wife took a nice short video on her ipad so if you shoot me your email I can send you the file unless there is a better way of putting it on this forum and that's the trouble I was speaking of I haven't ever posted a video clip so if you pm me your email I can send it in a file (wife figured that part out) but she's the smart one out of us :)


I don't think it's any louder than my forest approved long ugly silencer and I ordered new packing for this shorty that is supposed to be real good stuff (made in usa) it's made right here in the good old usa too so I'd rather buy made in usa than the foreign stuff when possible sometimes you just can't avoid foreign stuff it's not made here like our bikes lol.

Get the pillow it's much easier to work with and has trim spots so you can trim it without messing it up and I ordered the 19" so I will have plenty of material to pack it tight can't wait to repack the silencer with this stuff and I really don't think it's louder with the shorty and turns out the welder that did the silencer just put the old used packing back in it so the stuff is in bad shape and I reckon it will be even quieter with the new stuff.
