I owe a huge thank-you to the many people who contribute to this forum. Yesterday I sprung for a custom 2.25" catback and Magnaflow muffler and today I recevied and installed a short shifter and Kartboy bushings.

I now appreciate the WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in sound that these things generate vs. all the other grapefruit shooters I see around town - I really didn't have a handle on what you all meant by ricey/farty until now. I've got a mellowed out deep rumble; noticable, but not overpowering. As for the shifter, damn, what a great feel that combination makes! Shifting feels like I'm charging the action on a rifle.

Give yourself a pat on the back, because all this good stuff wouldn't be possible without either this forum or the people that post here. Your experience and knowledge have helped a ton of people enjoy their rides.

THANKS!
