    Get rid of cat and keep stock exhaust, or keep cat and change exhaust?

    Virginia is also a pretty dangerous state to be riding in. All kinds of traffic and nobody looks for cycles. I’d rather have everyone know I’m there, loud pipes save lives lol. This is also my first vtwin and I’m in love with the sound. I see a few people suggesting the “loud pipes don’t fit the...

    Managed to get a ride in after work today, temperature is finally warming up. Loving the 17” wheel swap as I’m only 5’7 and the bike is way more manageable with the little drop and sport tires.

    Get rid of cat and keep stock exhaust, or keep cat and change exhaust?

    Oh I definitely agree lol rattling at 6am for sure. Fortunately I’m not using the Ftr as a daily at the moment, but I have taken it to work a few times. I end up rolling down my drive way and firing it up at the street and letting it warm up in gear with no throttle. Just so I don’t piss off MY...

    Don’t see one so here’s a quick vid of my 19” with a cat delete and a bassani slip on. Yes it’s ridiculously loud, but I love every bit of it. People next to me? Not so much 😂

    Hey all, finally got the website to allow me to create a profile! Just purchased a 2019 Ftr1200 in October of 23 and ride around Fredericksburg Va. Just wrapped up (haha) with applying Hexis forged carbon fiber wrap throughout the bike. Did the 2023 Ftr 17” wheel swap, and installed a...

    FTR 17" wheel swap explained

    The 2023 Ftr’s went back to tone rings. I just purchased a set of 23 Ftr wheels and it’s a direct bolt on swap. No drilling or tapping needed. Super easy job other than the lack of grease on the axles and were tight removing lol.

    Which aftermarket seat?

    Haven’t ridden with it yet, but I just got my Saddlemans Track Ls. I’m in love with the looks and just sitting on it, it feels more comfortable with the gel. I also feel like it cups your ass a bit more than the factory seat. Worth the purchase!
