THANK YOU!
We put on another 100 miles and one more rain storm.
and Mrs V broke one of the rear footrests... so her floorboards are on the' Top-o-the-list' now.
The quiet exhaust is So sweet... but...it lets you hear EVERY other noise... I swear I can hear the cam chain slapping the case sometimes. And I am pretty sure this motor does not have a cam chain. Time to re-calibrate ears.
After it warms up, I can hear the front exhaust valve clearance open up a bit. I'd rather 'hear them clatter than feel them splatter', so I am OK with that. I set all of them and checked them TWICE.
30 MPG - The flow fuel light turned on before, and I added 3 gal. 90 miles later and the low fuel light turned on again. Good to see that working.
The exhaust wrap works really well. It never got hot enough to smoke after the collector area, and the part under the seat stays cool. I love how 'clean' it looks underneath from a distance. Mission accomplished there.
I wish it was as smooth as a flat 6 or even an inline 4... but that big chrome V Twin look is worth it for a recreational driver.
