Not a long or difficult job, just longer than rotating the end can out of the way to remove the rear wheel, like I used to be able to do. This surprises me. I have a high mount black widow can & link pipe and am able to remove the rear wheel without removing anything else. I guess I incorrectly assumed any/all high mount options created enough room to do it? yowsa, guess I got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it now, its because the joint is right behind the peg assembly. That would be a deal breaker for me so I'm really glad you mentioned it otherwise I, and others, wouldn't have known this pre-purchase (I'm just thinking in case something ever happens to my Remus. On that the joint is forward of the pegs and the can goes behind the rear pegs so I can take off just the can if I want) Pity the GPR would have been my first choice as a replacement.

I know what you mean but to be honest, it's only an extra 5 minutes or so to remove it. Simple enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooooo smooth, esp at low revs, brakes excellent and handling refreshingly solid after the Crossie. And a chance to show off the new hi-level. Some photos. That is a very silver bike! The blacked out indicators/taillight finish it off nicely, too. Ciao, JZH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
