i have the fire and steel supports and bags. im not sure what type of bags they are, but they're plain.

so i de-baffled my pipes last week. its extremely loud and changed the sound of the bike. before it had kind of a choppy sound, which i liked, but now its deep and throaty. when im riding and pull the clutch to shift, it gets very loud, kinda like a jake brake on a big rig. its awesome. i think it might be a little too loud though. i was riding with some guys on sunday and the guy leading was about 20yds ahead of me and he could hear my bike loud and clear even through a full face helmet. i also set off my first car alarm and a bike alarm at the bike show on sunday. on our way home, since i took my bags off, i had a very heavy backpack on. after crusing on the interstate for an hour going 90-95mph with that back pack, i some how managed to pull the muscles in my chest and shoulder on the left side. i had to go to the ER on monday b/c it hurt so bad. so i wont be riding any long distances for a few weeks.
