Called Tony @ Motordyne Engineering today to ask about the drone at 2400 Rpm... and he confirmed on auto G's there is always drone. FFS!?! Well whatever I still really like how it sounds, just a major let down knowing it's not truly a drone free exhaust.
Speed up or slow down, that's what I do

Found the squeak. Was the riser that brings up the rear of the seat. Hope the lithium grease lasts, nice and quiet now.

Rear of seat at full height:



Rear of seat all the way down:



Hit both hinges and moved seat up and down a few times to work the lube in there real good (#twss).

You are using Hashtags now? Theoretically the WLG should last much longer.

Changing out my headlights. The OEM headlight wiring isnt powerful enough to light an aftermarket ballast, so Ima have to hook up power through a relay. Ran outta time today and had to leave for work. I'll be finishing it up tomorrow.
