Maxtog likes 'em big, so you'll have to take that for what it's worth.  :o

Yep, some things I like big, like cats, pay, TV's, and mufflers.
But not other things, like government, taxes, and noise.

Congrats.  Yep, having your user name match the bike you own can be dangerous.  Mine just tells it like it is. 8)

Alot you can do on these things..I agree with ZG..Im eyeing the full Muzzy kit..the Connie needs Exhaust Symmetry


I just can't get used to the term "Farkling"
Particularly after my friend forwarded the definition from the Urban Dictionary..

The lack of symmetry doesn't really bother me as long as the bags are on.  With the bags off the bike does look hideous with the big can and the huge tail.  I really like the look of the Vance and Hines pipe for the Connie.  I wonder if you could go dual V&H?  Of course I will never do it though.  I have never been able to spend money on an exhaust system.  Not for a bike nor a cage.

I agree.  The muffler looks just fine and balanced with the bags on.  With the bags off, though, it is too big and positioned strangely which removes the balanced look.

Like many (most?) connie owners, though, I never remove the bags.

I took my girlfriend for about a 75 Mile ride last night she said she likes it. She said it was more comfortable than the Rocket 3. I thought the rock it was very comfortable for me. So I told her she needs a ride more to get used to it because we're going to take it to Niagara next year. I'll be ready for my first service tomorrow.

Okay connieman here I took a minute out of my busy day of riding to you send you guys a picture because I called in sick today. And I can do that because I'm the boss. Being self employed can have it benefits

I'm self employed and way to cheap to miss a day and not get paid.

Congrats on the new scooter.
