    Default Just posted this in Shop Talk

    but kind of needed some quick help bc my spyder is running right now for the 15 minutes (just installed hindle)

    I just installed the hindle and checked for leaks and seem to be getting a lot of air from the base of the actual hindle. Is this correct?



    Here is a picture of where i feel a lot of air flow coming out. It's not any part that I touched (bolts or anything) but the actual hindle itself.

    Any quick help would be appreciated.

    There is a drain hole in there to get rid of moisture... as there is on most bike mufflers.

    Thanks ata, whew.


    I had my garage door about half way open and was letting the bike run for the 15 minutes. I felt really bad bc it's 10pm but my wife actually said it should be okay, its not TOO late just let it go.



    this thing is pretty damn loud, I LOVE IT
