I did not noticed any change in performance (mine are removed) ... just a little more growling in idle and in low speeds ... no changes in throttle response or performance ... from what I can tell (seat of my pants, not dyno data)
... same, something to appease the authorities in Europe and Cali 😆
No tests for motorcycles in Oregon either ... asides that I don't see what the flapper would have to do with the exhaust gas mixture that is coming out ... it just baffles the sound in idle and low speeds ... IMO
Holy $hit!!! You better off buying one here and then selling it for dumping prices when you are done with it and still save money! ... I am sorry to hear that, this said, if you make it to the Pacific North West ... give me a shout I buy you a beer ;)
Odd I just drag and drop mine into the text box and then they upload ... after I can click on them and a frame appears where I can size them as I want the pic to show ...
I like your tire setup! Do I see that right ... Is that a 'static' balancer? ... nothing wrong with that, been doing it since years like that ... now we have a 'Cycle Gear' in town and if I order my tires there ... they come to the store and for a few bucks they do the mounting/balancing for me...
Thanks R ... I work with teachers and professors all day long ... but I am not teacher material ... trust me on that one ;)
Note: The Metzler 'Crisetech' is not holding up well .. 3000 miles in and there s already some 'cupping' ... I think that bike is simply too heavy for that tire.
So...
My 'ChromeHead' did the same thing ... there the cure was ... letting it run @30 seconds before shutting it off when I got to where I needed to go made that smoke on startup go away ... maybe that helps ..
Very easy .. from the pictures I have seen (have not seen a 'Roctane' in person) it uses the same headlight as the 'FE' and 'Classic' Model which is the same as the one on the R9 ... it has no moving parts .. only more LEDs light up left or right ... depending on which way you go ;)
EDIT: LOL...
