Truth. I just really don't want to pull the headers. I'm lazy

BUT depends on what needs to be done for the Drummer. THAT I will do most anything for.

You'll have to do that anyway... You have to seal the header wrap with a high temp paint and trying to wrap the rear header whilst it's all couped up behind the frame and shit... FUCK THAT.

Yep. Good luck with that shit. LOL.

Honestly though... getting the headers off probably won't be that bad... it's getting 'em back on that is sure to be the bitch... At least that was my experience with the XB.

Looks good! Though I never did like those cowlings with that "back rest" or whatever the hell it's supposed to be. Doesn't look bad on this bike since everything else is black, but the green it stands out.

I am jealous that you don't have snow on the ground there and were able to ride it home.

I picked mine up last week and its been below zero. I'll most likely have to wait till march to ride. If the ice is melted by saturday tho, i might warm it up and walk it around matt's neighborhood.
