Sturbridge, Ma | Jeff,
When put them in, or need help putting them in let me know so I can take a look at how they look on the bike in person? I like the way they look....But I also love the gatlin tips! If it's easy enough I could keep them both and rotate them? LOL  |

Henlow, Bedfordshire, England | Thanks again Songfan, Riverdawg & Nozzledog, got round to fitting my tips to my 2011 Vision and yes the tips are welded, takes a while to break the welds (when working without the correct tools like I did) but when this is done everything else is straight forward. 3 hole and bolts as normal, inserts fit well and now looks great. Thanks also MrWizard for the great service.
No idea why Victory spot weld these when they sell different tips, at least though its only the 2 welds each side and its clean enough when the ends come off.

scotts valley, California | Has anyone done an extensive before and after gasoline consumption test? There was a slight (about 4 to 5%) improvement from Ness Honkers with NO tips to Ness Honkers with my home-made tips (over a 7000 mile test). I would expect a little MORE improvement with Travelin Man's tips as they are engineered and machined better than mine. |

Pittsburgh, PA | first i would like to THANK songfan for sharing this thread with me when i asked about how to install my Gatlin tips with these NEW 2011 stock mufflers... but i also wanted to share something with everyone if i may.... so i cut OFF the stock 2011 tips. but i want t share what i thought of after one of them was cut off....
I cut off the one like the photos show above, where you remove the long chrome cover and cut the tip.. for me that was time consuming because of a lack of tools (all i had was a dremel) and it was hard to cut it due to a lack of space. So after i cut the one off, i got the idea of
instead of removing the chrome cover on the 2nd muffler AND cutting the tip off from the outside in.. why not stick the dremel INSIDE the tip and cut it from the inside out.... and IT WORKED and took about 10 mins if that!! i had to remove Nothing!! then once it fell off, i just bolted on the gatlin tip and all was done.. now i did have photos of what ive done.. or so i thought... here when i went to look at my photos they were all Black. i guess there wasnt enough light on my smart phone to capture an image.. so just picture a dremel with the disk cutting blade (the BIG ONE) and sticking it in there and cutting in a circular motion.. and thats it! done |

Damn, that is such a cool idea! This is what I love about the internet and these info boards. The collective wisdom is just fantastic. Arkainzeye - thanks for thinking. |
