I was looking at my header pipe yesterday, would I be able to disconnect it and knock the cat out from the rest end of it? It seems like it is kind of close to the end.

If you don't have a welding machine you can always go to the local muffler shop and pay them a few bucks to weld up.

Hopefully tonight I'll be able to get a few little things done on my hawk. Aiming to have the rear fender deleted so to speak. And either some painting of the grey parts or/and cat removal from the stock exhaust. If I can I'm going to try and make a video or atleast take a bunch of pics of everything (:

I have to agree with the painting of the gray parts. Changes the whole look of the bike.

alright, i did manage to cut up the rear fender area, but it didnt come out how i wanted (because i was drinking and cut more than i wanted lol doh) i couldnt get it dialed in to the area i wanted to, i do intend to move the license plate back a little more and installing an LED license plate light. for now i drilled a hole and hung the license plate light where i could but i love it so much more than it was. sorry for the sloppyness but i love it!

That didn't turn out too bad really. If it really bothers you buy a TT250 unit and start over lol.

Lol the beagle has ridden on atvs but I don't think shed like 2 wheels lol. And yeah it doesn't look bad at all honestly. I just don't like the stock license plate light there so I'm going to get an led smaller one and put that in. It came our decent for me using a hand saw and not a dremel lol.

So I noticed one of the studs on my rear sprocket is loose. But I can't tighten the nut because it's already tight. Is there any did to this or should I just wait till my new sprockets come in? Also how off is the stock Speedo on a 2017? I haven't gotten my phone mount to do Gps speed yet. I hit just under 60 on stock Speedo yesterday which is new for me lol.

Thanks for the reply! I do intend to purchase a cluster from him once I have the extra money (: with that being said. My sprockets will be here this week. Can I use the stock chain as long as I keep it properly lubricated or should I wait until I purchase a new chain?

So I friggen love this bike. I ride it every day. I've only taken it off road once. And because of that I've been toying with the idea of getting a different set of wheels and putting pure street tires on them, and swapping if I decide to off road, which I don't see happening too often. I REALLY like they way they look with the ninja wheels. I'm thinking instead of ordering new tires I might just buy a set of ninja wheels and make my own reject supermoto (: my sprockets come in tomorrow thanks to Amazon and there unusually slow service.
