    Nice! You can ship it down here to Georgia and I will hold onto it for you until you move. Don't want it getting scratched up or anything up there! :)

    Did you say you got that from justgastanks.com?

    well I bought it technically from ktm-parts.com but they just drop shipped it to me from justgastanks and because of that they wouldnt give the normal 10% discount they normally give... so justgastanks is the better way to go.

    Last weekend, I tore down the bike. Removed the header/midpipe for coating. Black ceramic on the outside and high temp coating on the inside. Should get it back this week.

    Anyone tried a Wings exhaust? I was going to get the Akra but the Wings winter pricing is pretty good.

    I have never heard of the company before. I cant seem to find pricing anywhere. What are they charging? Is it just a slip on?

    If you do pull the trigger please share your thoughts

    When I get confused, I try to rely on what one of my buddies used to tell me; it's supposed to go rubber side down. It can be challenging to remember at speed.

    Fit, Finish and Sound is as good as an Akropovic slip on, pricing was about 100$ less.

    Looks pretty good. Thanks. The akra's are around $600 now from what I've seen. Pretty steep IMO and the Wings looks like a good option.

    Just letting people guess a bit :D

    Got a good deal on a DLC job on the lowers, better seals, so basically less stiction. The valving on theses 2011 forks is actually fine for me. I didn't really need the DLC, I'm no racer.... but smoother forks are always nicer, and I couldn't help myself. Many of you on this thread know exactly what I mean. :deal

    The rear shock just needed a bit heavier spring for my weight, and Konflict Motorsports had the spring coated exactly 'Husaberg' yellow.
