Got a few more things done, including some riding!
Here are a couple of pics of the Power Duals outside.
I think the tone may be a little deeper with them than with the 2-1-2 on there previously, but if so, it is very small. My butt dyno could not tell any difference in power, it may have moved the torque curve to the right, just a smidgeon. MPG stayed the same.
A mechanical dyno may show a bit of difference, but it was not enough for me to notice any significant difference in daily riding.
The Power Duals are a significant improvement over the stock headers, but I was moving from a performance 2-1-2 header to another performance 2-1-2 header.
So, for me, the change came down to looks. If I was moving from stock to the Power Duals, the benefit is looks, increased performance, and deeper tone.
I moved the Stealth LED DL's from the engine guard down to the floorboard mount. I think I like them here better...just a more stealth look. I will be putting on a front fender mud flap to keep any rocks from kicking up and hitting the lights.
Here is a pic at dusk-
A close up of it mounted-
At full dark.
Besides lighting up the road, it really improves the chance of folks seeing me, without blinding them.
To give an idea of how they light up the road...these two pics are looking straight ahead with the handlebars turned all the way to the left...
First is Without the Driving lights on-
Next is WITH the Driving Lights on-
Everything is more lit up and much crisper.
Here is something we have been working on.
This is the best we have gotten it so far.
I want the vent to glow, and after 5 different tries, I have it glowing pretty good with running lights and turn signals.
Here's a little video showing the signals flashing, click
HERE
I think we can get it a little brighter without feeding back to the rider thru the other side of the vent. We'll see.
