Carpenter Racing Exhaust

HD: bling and booty!

When shopping for the heat shielding at Sun HD I was impressed with the machine-like efficiency and momentum at the distributorship. Like a well oiled and well cared for vintage carriage company. Very upscale. Lots and lots of bling. Pretty girls in tight jeans selling stuff. Nice. Very pretty new bikes as well. Harley's ARE beautiful motorcycles, regardless of their performance inadequacies. The V-Rod Muscle really looks cool! Might take another look at one of these further down the road. Gotta give it up to HD on appeal: they have it in spades! Fit and finish near impeccable...**** near wanted to take a BITE outta one

Unrelated but concurrently in mind while at SUN HD:

My youngest son is wrestling now and although a wet rookie, he shows some promise. He has the heart of a lion, the soul of a gladiator. My fine warrior son. Needs to perfect his skills and hone his killer instincts; focus that aggression and power. Does my old heart proud to see him out there overpowering opposition. May his life be rich and successful in all his ventures. May his grit and pit bull tenacity see him through inevitable adversity. How I love this young man! Which cool bike to which excellent son??? Both so different and yet similar in fundamental ways. I adore them both boundlessly!

Checked in wit' ma' man Tone Capone at Most Wanted when exiting SUN in my F-150: got FOUR top bred females to select from for my House of Dracul Bullies. So fine. Tomorrow I'll pick one of these beautiful fems for my Untouchable Empire multiple champion derivative, purple ribbon, pure bred Bully line. Beowulf is about to be exponentially happier!

Finally:

Just grilled up some delicious pepper steak for mama, our eldest genius-son and my old self. The Young Turk is out in da world chillin' wit' his lil' hottie gal-pal (maybe more than chilin')! Got my acid jazz and ambient-chill music cranked up to rock my still savage soul. Dis ole' boy still got some moves, baby! My recipe for the juicy steak, by the way. MMMMMMM!!! I LOVE to cook because I love to EAT! **** delicious! A very guilty pleasure indulged in with intrepid abandon! Mea culpa! Life is good
 
Glad to hear that you had a "happy ending" with your Carpenter exhaust, drac. I wonder if that did anything to alleviate the bluing???

It's usually best not to mess with success, if you know what I mean.
 
Tyranny of the Chase Redux

Yes, I follow your drift my friend. Anyhow, the pipes are sexy as hell, curvy and shapely and taut like the sweet little fems I once chased with such reckless and relentless and breathless abandon! Currently they adorn my futon in the extra bedroom (the PIPES that is...the fems are long departed). Maybe I should just mount them on the wall as motorcycle art (alongside the fems!)?!

Talked to Art after he was on the horn wit' yous. Got the part #s for the heat shields from Cobra. Maybe HD will exchange the HD shielding I already bought for some gloves or a vest???

Decided on a killer lil' pup whose daddy is one serious bad boy! Mama is tight as well. Great match up for my Beowulf. I'll dub her "Grendel," as in the heroic fable from whence I derived my boy's handle.
 
I spoke with your wife, dracul.

She said that she will enforce her "no mounting on the walls" policy quite strictly.

You have been warned...
 

Hey Drac, appears your dog has a keen interest in the pipes. What does he think of them?
 
Big dark orifice and spider ham

Hey Drac, appears your dog has a keen interest in the pipes. What does he think of them?

Well...he didn't pee on 'em, that may be either a good or a bad thing. He may have had some fascination with the big megaphone...thought mebeeee somethin' quick and juicy might emerge Nothing did, and they smelt of lubricating oil and metal shavings so he's lost interest.

And Phil, I've reassured mama there will be no mounting on the walls...over the futon possibly...but the wall is simply too Peter Parker for us aging boomers

yep, nev's mate rick....have spent quite a while chatting and this guy knows his stuff...Then again, anyone nev works with is flipping brilliant..
 

That's good news, especially for all you poor blokes way down there on the underbelly of civilization.

ponters, any chance of posting up some pics, installed and uninstalled, as well as some specs and more build/design info? In other words, how's about backing up your claims like, say with a dyno sheet on a stock, tuned bike running your system.
