Yeah, all of the top brand ones are 500+. Full exhausts, which I didn’t want because I’d have to get a power commander, sell for like $840+. This is the only part I’ve found that costs just as much as it’s car counterparts. It’s a tiny ass can the size of one muffler, should be $250 tops. ---

The Vance and Hines pipes for my bike were just about $500. And there’s nothing to them. LOL. Bike exhausts are retarted expensive ---

Changed the oil, cleaned/lubed the chain, and finally replaced my shifter lever from my slow 2mph fall in the rain a month ago (was pulling in quick under a covering to get out from the rain and rear came out on me, tried to correct and corrected too much). Before is after I bent it back a little… ![http://distilleryimage4.ak.instagram.com/981136280c0711e3950322000a1fcea7_7.jpg](http://distilleryimage4.ak.instagram.com/981136280c0711e3950322000a1fcea7_7.jpg) ---

I’m still in the process of installing several thousand screws into a couple new sets of ice tires with the intent of riding the 100’s on the ice this weekend- anyone interested this coming Saturday? Possibly with a quad and a plow, also? 🙂 ---

Getting ready for the upcoming season, purchased the following today and waiting for others to send me invoices so I can pay for other goodies: - Alpinestars Quick Seal Rain Suit - K&N Air Filter - JT Sprockets JTR1486.40 40T Steel Rear Sprocket - 2x EBC Brakes FA197HH Sintered Copper Alloy Disc Brake Pad - Red Adjustable Brake/Clutch Levers - OEM Headlight Assembly from China - easier to open than the stock assembly because Kawasaki used Gorilla Glue or some crap on the stock on - will sell stock after the mod is complete - Shogun Frame Sliders - CustomLED Universal Brake Light Flasher (flashes the brakes every 3 seconds - huge safety feature IMO even if it’s slightly annoying at long lights). [Link](http://www.customled.com/products/brake_flasher_modulator/brake_flasher_modulator.htm) Pending: - GSX-R Rear Shock Mod (I believe it’s from a 2007 - having another guy buy it for me, drill the necessary holes and adjust it so it’s just ready to be installed) - BKMoto Bi-Xenon Mini H1 Projector Retrofit Kit - Soft’N’Cushy to re-upholster my stock seat with Gel/Foam to make it more comfortable for longer rides ---

I like the brake light mod. How much does it cost to have the seat done? ---

Yeah I had it on the last bike and although this new integrated light I have does have it’s own flasher…it only does it once and then stops. So you’d have to release the brake and push it again (not as easy on a hill sometimes). The CustomLED one repeats the pattern (if you set it to). The seat is ~$150…we didn’t set a concrete price yet.
