On a side note, I did just see a small droplet of what looks to be oil on my garage floor. Smaller than pin drop but enough for me to notice.

I took off the header at one point, would this be caused by the engine mount not being 100% tightened?

I tried looking for the source but from the angle, thats the only probably cause.

When I was adding the bolts back on, I thought I got it on as tight as it would go, but having to hold the bolt on the one side of the bike while stretching myself to do the wrenching on the other side...I may have not sealed it correctly.

Does this sound right to anyone else or do I have a problem about to happen.....

Please tell me that you put anti-seize on the bolts that get hot? The 6 stainless steel disk bolts!

Ha ha Gregg!! Listen to Gregg! Supertrapps are expensive mufflers and worth every cent! I think I was so excited to finally get my old stock Toro lawnmower muffler off mine I forgot to use the anti sieze stuff. Soooo, now I have 2 broken bolts inside the muffler that I cant seem to get out to add some more discs. Heres something I do now, like every few months, I take them back out and install them cause after a bit, without the anti sieze stuff, they just are not going to come out without a fight!

Yes I am.

I gave a good coating to each of the bolts that are holding the disks in place. I double checked three times the correct positioning of the disks and the way they should face, that each time I took them off I would add just abit more of the stuff....

Good, but just remember that if you hadn't learned it here or didn't read the instructions then you'd be like Stinger Grin

Is that the connector and is it supposed to be removed? Also there's a ring right where the header is reduced down to the muffler. Does that come off as well?

Undecided

No and no...simply stated.

Otherwise, just don't mess up that cool tank detail while you're messing with it Grin

Well 5lbs lighter and tank detail w/o a scratch. The bike and I lost an equal amount of weight too. What a boat anchor.

I was going to wait a week or two to get alittle mileage check with the stock setup before going to the supertrapp. 55 mpg BTW due to cleaning the slide. But the heat shield fell off in heavy traffic. I'm going to have change my name to shedder. And I must be suicidal too, doubled back and pick it up. Luckily it was on the side of the road.

The metal at the end of the header was expanded and brittle. I cut the middle layer back a .25" and the top layer back a 1/2". Then with a little persuasion it went all the way on. Sounds good. I'll test it tomorrow. Grin

After my first run, I'm smiling like a south park Canadian!

Stock jet (145), 8 disks, no tuning necessary.
I might say it's a little rich if I compare it to the stock muffler as all pops and pows are gone. About 2mph faster on my uphill test strip.

I used get a little better uphill accel at 3/4 thottle as compared to WOT, now its best at WOT.

I think I'll try another disk. Grin
