Black Engines

[Evil Mitch]

On my iPhone Rocketheads picture is stretched out. Seeing how we are showing off here's a black one with black motor.

Your machine has a nice clean neat look Bruce .Nothing is over done and everything you have done compliments the other stuff . Neat with good lines . Classy job mate i like it

Love your exhaust, Bruce. Here's mine:

Looks good mike! You didn't have those on last year in Austria did you?

NAKED REBAND PIPES, These days I don't have the sissy bar fitted all the time and have a Corbin seat.

You guys have no idea what you are talking about, silver engines are highly collectible since there are not very many of them

Is the scarcity due to the self destruction some of the silver engines did????

Most engines 09 onwards have had the upgrades but black engines where out before this . My 09 black had to get the upgrade but has been a great bike. Real difference imo black looks up to date and great on any colour and silver looks dated and has that hat full of arseholes /pitbull chewing a wasp kinda look . So that's that

Seems like you're trying to say that silver engines with coloured tin are neat but gaudy, a bit like a bulls arse sewn up with a bicycle chain.

I am REAL close to pulling the trigger on a set of these CES, but with the can on less of an upward angle.

With you there. I lowered mine about 2 inches at the mount, which translated to about 4 inches at the tip.

I had the Jardines, but I just recently wrapped them. I wasn't satisfied with the crappy workmanship of those goofy little chrome pieces.

Just click on any pics that look like that; it fixes them.

Thanks, Mate!

Your second photo is much improved, IMO.
The CES can is smaller diameter at the end than yours. The top of it should pass just at or under the rear axle bolt on mine.
I want as much room as possible for panniers. If I have to use them for a long trip, I want the largest possible and mine are 23 L, 19.5 H & 14.4 W.
I also like the look of the straighter, more parallel to the ground, look better than upswept.
I be curious what you had to do to change the can angle on yours? Was it a big deal?
