Stage 1 mods on "The Beastess"


This gives you a look at the left side exhaust pipe. You can also see the new footboards I bought and had installed. They are a smaller version of my footboards, and provide BD a much more comfortable riding platform. We rode for nearly 5 hours on Friday and they were very comfortable. The ride took us to Amicalola Falls State Park, about 2 hours North, then we came home and cut across Hwy 53, a 2-lane State highway. Got caught in a wreck on that road, though, and it was closed for nearly 2 hours due to having to have LifeFlight come in for the injured. We had to backtrack and take a 4-lane home, which is faster but not as pleasant riding. Anyway, the last hour was pretty tiring...

You can also see here the FoxCreek Leather bag I bought to put on the back of the sissy bar. It's got bunches of room, and BD even put in a Vitamin Water to take along to drink.

Stage 1 modifications to "The Beastess"


BD took a picture of "The Beatess" with her new pipes. You can see the right side exhaust pipe ends in a "fishtail" tip. If you look close, you'll see the round, chrome air cleaner cover inside my leg. It's more of a 50's style cover and is much more comfortable to ride with as my leg doesn't keep hitting it like it did with the OEM "football" air cleaner cover. The pipes are somewhat louder than the stock pipes, but not obnoxiously so...though when you "pop" the throttle and get on it they do bark...
