Started out in the spring by ordering the primary muffler bypass from Pittbull. I was not happy (my fault) as I new I did not get the slip joint gaskets installed correctly. I ordered new gaskets and started over. Practice makes perfect, and yes when I removed the pipe I did indeed have major exhaust leaks.
Next I removed the famous evap canister. BAD idea! This made the gas smell worse than it ever had been before. I reinstalled the canister, but rerouted the vent line up, as far up as I could. Added about a foot of hose. Now I believe the canister is working as it should. I can see some vapors on a hot day but no dripping of fuel.
I then ordered and added the Ultimate seat and driver backrest. Seat is OK and is getting better as it breaks in. It is starting to soften up a bit.
Next I added the Two Brothers M5 Carbon Fiber silencer. I must say Nice piece. Easy install, took less than 35 minutes. I must say I only have a few miles on it. Just installed it today but not as loud as I thought it might be. I am happy about that and it gives a real nice deep throated tone. The wife was not happy that I ordered this part but today she told me it sounded good.
I also ordered the RAM handle bar mount and X grip for my phone but it is back ordered and not expected to ship for another three weeks.
I also REMOVED a farkle I added last year. I removed JT's air filter and intake. It served it purpose at the time but with the 2014 air flow panels and the primary muffler bypass I felt it was no longer needed and I got tired of the intake noise.
Here are some pics of the Two Brothers and you can also see my new seat.
