Is that the short CES muffler you have there? I ask because it looks nice and low and would miss my Leatherlyke bags. Also, do you have any pics of how you spaced out the rear brake resevoir?
Personally I like the cosmetics of Bob Carpenter's Brute exhaust (pictured above) better, but that's strictly a chocolate or vanilla kinda' choice... purely subjective.
Hat's off to CES on a great new choice for Rocket Captains everywhere!

I see you have an '09 same as me. The brake reservoir sits higher and further forward than on a Roadster. There are some pics in the Rocket Science thread of how I moved mine out.
Yeh Mark it is the short muffler good for 1.5 to 2 hp extra than the longer one but a bit louder love it.I have leather bags and my old pipes where tucked up hard under the pillion peg and there was no problem with them and the new pipes sit under the peg 2 inches lower so no problemo
Mines going for a dyno tune on Tuesday. After ringing every dyno shop local to me and not one knowing tuneboy I searched on here and found Dave up at Toodjay. Mr Lush recommends him so that's good enough for me. I will post up the results.
I got Dave to tune her up today, runs sweet as. It felt like a different bike on the way home.
can't figure out how to upload the graph but it was 164 hp and 160 torque.

Aesthetically, I still think these (@Gothlander's Perfect Storms) are the best of all. Equal length but not tuned length. Not saying they work better (or worse) than Carpenter or CES but they sure look good. I know he's happy with them.
