Default Successful Debaffle

Hello.

First post outside of the intro section.

I bought a 06 C50 in june Now I have 11K on it.

I have read lots in this forum, and have learned a lot.

Im a rotella t 5w 40 convert, duct taped the wires in the head lamp assy to mitigate the cricket chirp, learned that my rear hub doesnt have cracks in it, de-badged, grip moded, and debaffled the exhaust all becuase of this forum.

I debaffled last night and recommend it to anyone who doesnt have the jack for a real pipe modification

Cost: bimetal saws and arbor from Home Depot $32
5.2 A driill from Wall Mart$29.95 (fried)

Here are some photos (no the oil stains arent from my bike. The previous owner of the house had an 883.)

Anyway, thanks so much to lyd for the vid, I will be donating on payday, and thanks for everyone here for all the great lurker info.

edit: one other thing. Some may be able to tell a slight mod to the side mirrors. I didnt like they way they stuck up and out stock, becuase it made the bike look taller, so I removed them and inverted the mirror brackets and remounted them. It makes the bike look lower, in my opinion.
