Wow, that's an uber light pipe then. congrats. How is the swingarm clearance? Looks kinda close...

Swingarm is way to close for my liking, but it is on the down stroke, so I went as far to lift the back end to see if free hanging it would touch and it doesn't. I rechecked all the clamps and the hanger to make sure it was in the right spot. So far no worries. I haven't stoppied it to make sure but I feel confident its ok.

Have you rode it yet? How's it feel with all that weight gone? Though, it was all down low so maybe it's not as noticable.

Ya know it doesnt feel that much difference on the commuter loop. will check it out thoroughly at the track day but since I never tracked it with the oem who knows? 20 lbs wont make it a supersport bike, and the dyno graph is hardly changed so...It sounds like a race bike, popping and snarling through downshifts and the carbon is pretty so I am proud. I think my upcoming steering damper and Power Pures will make it the total white trash roadrace special...

I think the stock looks better, but this looks good too. I always thought it was kind of odd how they positioned the exhaust onto the rear tire though..

I didn't really notice the weight loss either. Bit easier to power wheelie out of corners though... :idk:
