New exhaust for the FT
thumperdh:
Six weeks? Forget that. I'd be pretty upset if I were you, it really only seems like a 30min job at most.
Lefty:
I finally have the muffler, here's a shot of the welds.
Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to get it all back together, I'll post up when I do.
I remember reading a post here by J6 about proper header break in, can you link me to it or explain it again?
J6G1Z:
It's not so much a header break in, it's a ceramic coating break in. Works for painted headers also. Basically you start the engine & let it run for a few seconds to begin warming the coating & then shut it down & let it cool off. Repeat the process several times while increasing the run time each time. This is supposed to cure the coating instead of burning it.

Lefty:
Thanks for that info J6.
I just got done mocking it up, I used washers for spacers, but I've got a stainless spacer I'm going to use.
My friend's welder also missed the hanger, which was in a paper bag in the SuperTrapp box, arrrghh.
You can see one of the seams in this shot, I am taking it to work tomorrow & welding it myself(I've been practicing!). More soon
Lefty:
I am finally finished! The bike runs out real nice, no hesitation at all, and the SuperTrapp sounds really nice, I went with 5 discs and the tone is pretty much spot on. Now I need to remove the cap screws and apply the copper anti-seize.
Here's a pic
