Ok I ordered a slip-on from Cycle Werkz and it will be here tuesday at the earliest along with some other stuff. I'm gonna put them on ASAP and definanly before saturday. Any tips or tricks I should know about? anything that will make the job fast or easier?

Well, if the one for your bike come's with a fender eliminator kit like mine did. Get some quick disconnects, and have some extra wire, and your wiring tools ready.

Two Brothers make a great product, and it's actually by far the easiest pipe I've ever installed. If you got the kind with the special clamp it makes it really easy to adjust it just right. And mine has great sound.

With slip on's, typically the hardest part is getting the stock can off. But it should just unbolt and the new one bolt right in.

I got the slip-on installed and it sounds great. Now I need to do the front brakes and lines. Who out there has the know how to install the SS lines and brakes. I would prefer some one that has done this before. I would like to do the front end this weekend but deffinally before next weekend. I'm taking a trip to Austin on the bike and would like to have some brakes that work well.

If you want to swing by this evening, I can help out then. Otherwise it may be either Sunday afternoon or pretty much any time after 6 next week (after work).
