    Thumbs up Lamonster 1330 RTS Project begins!

    I haven't had a lot of riding time on this beast but I have had a lot of wrenching time as always. I started by taking all the brushed chrome parts off and having them dipped by Wicked Liquid Creations. He's driving here as we speak so I can install them and get ready to head to Daytona with Spyderpops in the morning.





    I've also installed a Lamonster Garage CAT bypass to add a little sound, lose a little weight and get the heat away from the fuel tank. This thing came out killer and we'll have them in hand crafted stainless for the 1330 and the 998.





    I've also redesigned the highway brackets to be even cooler than they were before. I'll be installing the pre-production brackets and pegs along with a couple of products that the world has yet to see. I'm really excited about this Spyder and can't wait to make it my own and put lots of miles on her.

    Sounds like you are off to the races again, Lamont! Cannot wait for Len to finishing Lamonsterizing my new RTL. Have fun in Florida.
    Replaced my Lamonster Certified RT Limited #1874 With a 2018 RTL.

    Looks great Lamont. Great to see the move away from the chrome.

    Did you also cut down the windshield?

    I forgot I have a great helper. Colton is the one who unbolted the CAT and a lot of the trim. The kid is good.

    That CAT Bypass should give you more than just better sound. Great looking work there Lamont. No Micky-Mousing around (as usual).

    Have a great time in Daytona! Hope the weather holds up!

    Default 2014 RT Lamont cat bypass 2" stainless steel pipe is 1st class

    I had a muffler shop cut off ends of my 2014 cat, bent 2" stainless steel cat bypass pipe to fit; second day I had RT.
    Major increase in exhaust flow out of muffler, with stock muffler louder with a neat triple motor wailing sound when on the gas!!
    Stronger torque off idle on up to 6,500 rpm. The 4,000-65000 rpm is really strong pulling.
    Exhaust flow temp from muffler increased 50 deg. Idle is 175 deg.
    (cat weighed 15.6 #).
    Your cat bypass is 1st class!!!!
    Thanks for building the 2014 cat bypass pipe.

    Couple of questions on the bypass.

    1) Would it void your extended warranty?

    2) What about resale in Ca. where the CAT probably needs to be there to pass EPA? Do Spyders ever need to be smog checked on resale?

    3) If you put the bypass in, can you put the CAT back in if needed later or is it cannibalized?

    4) I thought the 2014's did not have heat issues and the CAT was moved? So I assume doing the bypass is for other reasons?
