My work in progress: Street Adventures!
Last weekend I installed my Utah skid plate & today the 2Brothers slip on w/P4 tip. It really took longer for me to get the tools out& put away then it did to do the installation.
I want to ask you guys w/2Bro pipes some questions:
Did your mid pipe turn golden color within a few miles of riding like mine did? (carb & air box is still stock)
Did the pipe bring you attention from the man like mine did?
I was riding down the road at about 6-7g when I saw the man. I saw him do a double take as he passedin the opposite direction& the brake lightswent on. As soon as I sawthat, I hit the signal & began to pull over. He sat there a second & continued in hisoriginal direction.
My brother was outside & said he heard me coming from at least 1 mile away. I didn't think it was that loud!
Is it my imagination that the bike seems to revs to 8G without trying now?

Its normal for stainless steel to turn gold.

Also, I have ridden by the man quite a few times in this town & this is the 1st time one of them looked like they were comming for me, but again this is the 1st time with the slip on!

They were probably slowing downjust enough to try and catch a glimpse of your plate to see if was a street legal machine or not IMO. My buddy got pulled over one time because the cop thought the rear D606 he had on was off-highway only until my friend pointed out the DOT stamp.
