So, after getting everything buttoned up and fluids added it was time to tickle and kick VG for the first time and take in the sound of a 40 year old twin running without an exhaust. That was the plan anyway. After three days of checking, cleaning, re-rebuilding, and kicking all I was left with was a very sore leg. As a last resort I trucked her down to Trophy Motorcycles on Tuesday to let Issac's guys take a turn.
At the same time I was looking for a two into one exhaust to put on VG. I wasn't too worried since I've seen a bunch around the web over the last year. They seem to have all evaporated. Issac couldn't source one within the US. So, I broke down and ordered one from Feked in the UK yesterday. I was greeted this morning by an email saying due to manufacturing problems there's a 8-10 week delay in shipping said exhaust.
Now I'm starting to look into backup plans. F800GS or KLR650 maybe....
