• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Cat gone pipe

Recieved the cat delete pipe from lamonster yesterday.
went out at 1:30 today to put it on.
finished at about 3:30, basically an easy installation,
but I had to walk away a few times due the springs, and a few bad words.
let it idle for 10 minutes, went for a short ryde seems to be running fine
:yes::yes::yes:

What'd you use to pull that top spring? :dontknow:
I always use a t-handled puller (a remnant from my two-stroke tuning days...)
With it: I have yet to find a spring that I can't remove. :thumbup:
 
I had my Lamonster pipe and QQ baffle fitted by my dealer on Tuesday (20 mins) while he was doing the chassis reinforcement
recall work. Rode the 130 miles home and I have to say that I like the sound. The performance hasn't been adversely
affected but I think I'm likely to use more fuel as I like to listen to the motor singing at higher revs!:ohyea:

Did you install a baffle or just the by pass pipe?
 
Yes, that it how I did mine way back when...I explained it to others but most often the folks tell me that is more difficult. Absolutely not. No spring puller needed and takes about ten minutes to do the swap.
I believe it was your thread I read on loosening the clamp.:bowdown: No spring removal tool or cuss words needed. :yes:
 
Spring

Get 10 feet of parachute cord. Pass cord thru spring. Have helper pull cord from back of bike. Do all three. Takes 35 seconds. Remove clamp, remove bolt, remove muffler.slide cat off rubber donut. Remove "cat". Install bypass, springs first. Hang muffler loosely, connect muffler to bypass with clamp. Tighten muffler bolt. Done. 20 minutes, tops. At least on a 1330 RT.
the 990 is a bit more involved. Joe

:agree: I watched as Ann pulled the cord while Joe disengaged the springs when replacing my Cat with the bypass. No curse words necessary. :bowdown:

I listened to SpyderAnn's with the bypass yesterday. I like the sound so will have to save a few bucks and get the bypass for mine.
