Title: Hello From New Jersey
Post by: mikeeitup on July 16, 2014, 08:46:48 PM

Hey guys just picked up a Black 2012 C14 from a guy who crashed it but only broke a mirror and damaged a bag! Easy fix but I saved thousands. =) can't wait to hit the road hard. This bike is plain awesome and I'm really excited. ;D I'm gonna put a throttle lock on and add more lights to it. I want to remove the cat on it because I think it's restricting the wonderful sound that comes from the race pipe. Any suggestions and mods that I should do that you have found helpful? I'm switching 'er over to Amsoil this weekend at an oil change party. WHOOP love being a dealer!

Welcome to the forum, Mike. You won't find much benefit from removing the cat unless you were to go to a full exhaust system.

Hey Rhino I am in Bridgewater. Pretty close to where you grew up actually. Cool!


I know I wont get any power from the cat delete. I want the sound.

Oh cool I ride around there sometimes with friends! Maybe I'll see you! I deal Amsoil outta my house. Basically to family and friends who want that yummy 25%+ discount. Nothing profiting or professional.

Of course you could. It depends on what you want and what not. If you want bike oil or anything PM me the weight and quantity and I'll give you the discounted quote. I am pretty sure I could also have it shipped directly to your house as well.
