Hey...that's my bike and video!! :grin2:
It's ear splittingly loud without a muffler. I barely tapped the throttle in the video because of how loud it was.

I just took off my stock and replaced with an emgo slip on. Need to get the header attachment soon so it's straight instead of at a 35 degree. Here's how mine looks currently. For some reason I can't upload video.

Are they viking bags you have on the back there? If so, did the supplied mounting hardware fit without the need for drilling?

They are the Viking bags. They supply all mounting pieces, though i had to go to the hardware for shorter mounting bolts.
They do require drilling, I think just about any aftermarket bags would.

I saw another video of a 300 with a 500 muffler, sounded more throaty/deeper.
If I can find it again I'll link it on this thread
Ah, getting my bike through PCP and not sure if I'm allowed to drill it?

You don't drill the bike, you drill the saddle bags to line up the mounts w/ the two bolts already on the fender.
Oh sweet! Sorry if you've already posted it on the forum, I wasn't too sure! But thanks for the content and I hope you don't mind me posting it :surprise:
Awesome. Which size saddlebags are yours, medium or large?

I am having some trouble with my slip on. It seems like when I am accelerating in second gear the rear tire is almost stalling up. Not sure what would cause this but it isnt noticeable at higher speeds or higher gears, only when im in low gears.
Anybody know what would cause this?

I mean it is essentially a straight pipe.... could it be bad for the bike to have too much backpressure?

Ryan,
It is very difficult too tune an engine to run without back pressure. With a carburetor it is virtually impossible to get an engine tuned correctly without having back pressure. With fuel injection I don't know as I have no experience changing the exhaust or intake on a fuel injected bike.
Someone more experienced will pipe in some info.

Yes, though in this case (being just a straight pipe), I'd say the issue is not enough back pressure.
As for doing actual damage to the bike? I'm not sure... but the performance hit alone would be enough for me to look into remedying the situation.

I have a slight hesitation in second gear w/ my Shorty slip on as well. It's only noticeable though if you're gunning it from stop light to stop light.
However it does go away within a few miles of riding, so not sure if the computer has to self adjust each time you're riding.

This is exactly what happens to me as well. It seems to only do it when the engine is "cold" and I am running wide open throttle *or at least this is the only time its very noticeable*. After I ride for maybe 3-5 minutes it doesn't seem to happen again. Apparently straight pipes give you higher top end performance diminish low end.
On a side note, but perhaps related note.... I was riding through the city the other day and pulled in my clutch and rev'd as I passed a group of ladies *they never should have let me have a bike*, and my bike stalled out. Very embarrassing to say the least lol....Not sure what happened but now I dont try to rev up and show off...wondering if it is the same issue.
