Clear Tail Lens

Got my new lens from Clear Alternatives so I thought I'd share. Sure was nice to install in a 15 degree garage.

Looks awsome, I'm thinking of getting one too. How long did it take to install and was it difficult?

It was pretty simple and straight forward. Took me about half an hour, mainly due to the cold weather. Apparently frozen fingers and bolts don't work well together.

You have to take off the sissy bar and tail section to do it. The way it's tapered won't let you remove it straight out the back unfortunately.

Thanks for the advice. Is that a twobros. slipon and if it is how do you like it?

Sure is. I love it. My best friend has a 919 with Sato pipes, and this two bros pipe makes mine sound just as deep as his. Has a nice growl, but not overly obnoxious. Plus the directional carbon fiber design makes it stand out from all the other carbon cans.

Nice, I just ordered a Micron for mine

Hey 5hundred did you get a jet kit to go along with that slip-on? Or did you just slap'er on and rock n' roll? Either way do you notice a performance difference at all?

I'm thinking about picking up a Two Bros Exhaust for mine in the spring.

Thanks

I had the pipe on the bike before I even took it home from the dealer, so I can't really compare to stock. I don't think just a slip on would add any noticeable performance, I got mine mainly for the sound. I didn't get a jet kit put on which worried me a little at first. But after I took it high in the rpm's and let it wind down, it didn't backfire or pop at all which I've been told is the sign to wether or not you need a jet kit. So until it starts running weird, I'll leave the carbs alone.
