Blackout XJ550 Build

sharp bike

 

thanks guys. all I did was unbolt the mufflers and the header pipes to wrap the. other than that its just stock. I had thought about gutting the mufflers and putting them back on but having them off grew on me.

 

any vids of how the bike sounds with your current exhaust setup?

 

yeah, its not the best video but it might give you an idea. got some bolt rattle from one of my seat mounts but it sounds pretty good in person. also it was when I has some hanging rpms still.

Lol, sounds throaty. Not bad. Reminds me of a tractor I saw once in a truck pull... Yep just like a lawn mower

 

sounds good. did you rejet?

 

You have that Engine performing well.
It sounded like it was well-fed all through the video.
The exhaust is sure loud.
I'll bet it sounds even better, under load, down-shifting into the corners.

 

yeah it sounds alot better on the road. And yeah it seems to be getting a good fuel ratio even though I still have stock jetting. I havnt had any performance issues yet, but in time I'm sure I will get it alltweaked to where it should be.

 

Got some more work done again to the bike finally. Its basically done just a few things here and there, and I still might paint it at some point.

Got my new fuse box in, fuel filter, seat attached, fender shaved and mounted, And also made my license plate mount and brake light put on. I started with the red light but it wasnt what I wanted and then got another LED tailight that works great and has the license plate light built in. Still need to make my final bars and paint them black too.

Awesome bike man! I have a 550 as well and that thing can move. Check out my pics.

 

yeah they move for their age and former style of bike in our case. Dign your bike as well!
