Central Maryland | Finally persuaded myself to do the 6 each (1/2") hole mod on my 2011 Vision. I like the sound, nice and deep, not obnoxious; finally sounds like I have somewhat of a spark plug firing gasoline motor; as compared to the sewing machine sound of the unmodified stock mufflers.
Removed the chrome tailpipe end caps; removed the heat shields (easy since I have long ago cur the stock banding clamps and replaced them with large screw type radiator hose clamps) and then used a Sawzall (gingerly) to cut through the black end caps. Cut them suckers like butta...
Then used a 1/2" drill bit and easily drilled out 6 holes per side. reassembled it all and went for a ride. Sounds NICE...
Later today or this weekend, will play around with the Dobeck EJK and see if I can dial in a little more fuel... for a little stronger pull on acceleration.
Now need to buy some High-Temp black paint to see if I can "tighten up" the appearance of the pipes from the rear.....

Central Maryland | Yes, the "Monster"  and the Vision both co-exist peacefully with each other; in the shed.
I also have a beer refrigerator in the shed as well. Sort of like my little man cavelette

Georgia, west of Atlanta | You think Carpenter would be interested in porting and big valving some Victory heads ?? From what I read, they are good at "improving" 4 valve heads from any motorcycle.............. |

I'm not sure... he does a lot of head work on all types of bikes. Never heard him mention Victory nor have I seen a Victory in his shop. |
