So it finally warmed up over 30 and I took her out all day, then brought her home with a ton of tools and went to work. 2 hours later, woohoo. The only hard part was removing the rear axle, My punches weren't long enough. So I improvised a crappy loooong screwdriver with a crappy socket welded to it and presto! A long enough punch.

Ran into 2 snags, I forgot my brake bleeder and my chain press(link breaker) and left them at work.

SO no new brake lines or chain on the bike. The temp dropped back down to 15 degrees though. So at least it's not that big of a deal.
OK Stock HRC can and stock rear pegs

Stock Merge Collector

Stock Headers

Stock Sprocket and Rear Pegs

Ok Movies of the bike
You'll notice it is now stalling out a little around 7k again, probably because it's freaking cold here and my garage heater was turned off at the time. When I went for the ride earlier today, it did it as well but it was just fine after it warmed up. My guess is the old fuel left in the tank over the winter, just need to burn the rest of that crap out. Or i might need to clean my carbs again. Seems like I'll have to rejet it now anyway with the exhaust....
anyway

Did you have to do anything for the F4i Pegs to fit right?

Nope. RRasco put me on to them, they bolt right on and look way better. 2 things though, you lose your helmet holder and the rear light mounting points.

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not I don't know much about our bikes, Having the F4i pegs would maybe change the mounting location slightly of the muffler? If having those pegs could we now mount mufflers for a F4i or are the mufflers actually "tuned" for a F4i? Do you have it done and back together? Looks/Sounds awesome I can't wait to come across that exhaust system. Post pictures when its all done

It did change the mounting location, but not more than a 1/2". (and I have to say I'm a freaking dork, geez shoulda edited myself outta the video.) The nice angle the exhaust has is pretty much what D&D designed. The panels are not on because I'm fixing them and making a set of molds to make new cf panels with. My shops link breaker is mia and I've been stuck working till after 9 every night. So pretty much thats were the bike is at the moment.

yeah it does change, if you notice how the D&D bracket is a steel band which adjusts for this, my exhaust has a fixed welded mount which i beat senseless with a hammer into the right angle using the curb, it was already banged up so i didnt care about damaging it, and im replacing it soon too. you may also have to get the midpipe to move slightly further over the headers as well (3rd pic), i just made it wider and retightened the clamp.

the V&H should have enough play on its mount to work as well.

as for your exhaust question, they typically are designed to work with the bike they are listed for, you *can* use any pipe on any bike if you manage to get it to mount up correclty, but the bike may need to be rejetted (carb jets) or remapped (fuel injection) to allow for the tuning. I have seen all sorts of exhaust put on these because of the lack of aftermarket pipes nowadays, one of them being a GSXR pipe.

Thanks rrasco! I think I am just going to keep my eyes out for that D&D system. Sounds awesome and looks even better. Im going to be looking in to doing this mod also, very soon, although im going to try and use some very slick looking "bullet" rear turn signals from a Harley. And if you didnt happen to see my other post, clear tailight lense....I wont spill any details till I dive in to the project and see if its going to work/look good. But, the tailight lense is for sure and will be done within the month. sooner if i have additional interest.

OK finished the chain and brakes tuesday night and finally took her out tonight. All I can say is WOOOOHOOOO!
Brakes way faster with a firmer feel and less pull to either side. Very nuetral now, and single handedly the best upgrade I've done. I love it! I keep undershooting all my brake points now and stopping forvever before I need too with less effort. Ya!

The sprocket set is awesome! Revs much faster when pulling and knocked about 1/2 second(with exhaust) off of the 0-60. The only drawback is cruising speeds, everything goes up 1k so 65 mph=6k or so. Makes the front end very happy to come up with full throttle(not to the bp), just a twist and up it goes in 1 and 2. Even 6th feels much snappier now.

The only thing that sucked about the install was breaking the freaking links. Biggest pain I've dealt with in forever. The links are stronger than the link breaker I had and broke it. SO I ended up with the old vise clamp and die grind for hours method. It took 45 minutes to bust the 6 links I needed off! And I only cut the one to remove all 6 at once!

The exhaust sounds like a track bike! It is wonderful and only really loud if I get on it. Definately have to mess with my jetting again however, its a little rich from 4-6k and little lean from 11-12k. Not bad though, my tuner told me I don't really need to do it, only if it bugs me. Because its well within specs. Had dang near everybody try and race me tonight on my ride because of the exhaust. Even an old guy in a 92 cadillac deville! Hilarious! Must be because I was the only guy out, it was 34 degrees, and It GROWLS good!

But finally the roads are dry. And the street sweepers went nuts yesterday getting all the gravel and road salt up.

They worked it for 30 hours straight, in shifts and got my whole valley done! Woohoo! Clear roads! And it was 60 today! For 1 hour but whatever, it was 60!
Now the only thing I'm waiting on is me finishing fixing my panels and cf'ing them, putting my new race clutch in and Then the state cleaning Logan Canyon! 150 plus curves in 50 miles! Woohoo Again!
