Exhaust + tune

[BrentO]

So it’s been about 2 months in the making, shipping , local ceramic coating etc.
specs, 25 storm R, vandeamon titanium header and bivalve exhaust, and moto gt tuning. Haven’t had it on the highway yet, but the 5 mile trek to work is impressive.

Very nice. Do you notice any heat differences yet on your leg with the different headers?

Awesome! That's the first custom exhaust or slip on for this bike that looks like it belongs. I also wonder about heat. Stock exhaust roast my thighs at times. I imagine this requires Nomex pants and boots.

Good looking mod. Those carbon heat shields look the bomb.

The top bolt in the rear tube carbon fiber shield will get me one day, if I ride on the balls of my feet, it’s ok, soon as I shift the foot forward to hit the brake, I feel the heat.

Hmm are the pegs way more back on the Storm? On my GT they are very close to the rear brake and doesn’t require much foot travel.

I have both R and GT pegs on this, the R pegs have the controls, the GT ones don’t, you can see both from the pictures

You might consider cutting a piece of kevlar fabric in the shape of the heat shield and mount between the header pipe and heat shield. You buy it fairly cheap on Amazon:
