Yah...but my explanation was funnier... ;-)
Speaking of which, finally broke the 500 mark after work last night, counting the 100 +/- I lost after the cable snapped.
Officially broke in! Woo hoo!

So I wonder why it's such a difficult task to change them from KPH to MPH if it's just a matter of switching out a gear on the speedo? Must not be as easy as it sounds. It would be nice if CSC got the good speedos and the other spare parts soon.

So here are pics from installing my exhaust. (same kind).
I made a bracket from a piece of flat steel bar.
The main difference in my setup is that I am using a 1.5" standoff between the muffler mount and the bracket.
It puts the exhaust tip a bit further out and hopefully negates the need to trim the rear plastic or melt anything. Time will tell.
Right now the standoff is just some piece of Nylon something or another I found.
But I have a section of nylon rod coming in. I will drill it and cut it as needed.

Originally I had an exhaust leak around the header pipe and engine. Found two gaskets or seal pads that were not installed very well.

I still have a few more things to do with it, but it seems ok for now.

I'm at about 300' elevation where I live, and climb up to 3000 tops.
I'm using a 112 jet on the stock carb, with the lid off the airbox.
I can't ride at the moment and have to wait for a friend to give it a spin and see if I need to go up to 115 jet.

Hey y'all!
I installed my new exhaust today and boy does it sound good! Added a video to the youtubes as well if you wanted to take a look. I addressed a couple issues I had and what I did for the install.

How does one locate the youtube videos?

It's an OPT7 Motorcycle LED Headlight Kit w/ Arc-Beam™ Clear 6K Cool White - 40w 3,500Lm CREE (H4, 9003) - 2 Yr Warranty

My original bulb's low beam went out the first 30 minutes of riding...
