    Backfire Moto - hey, 04 Tuono rider...

    Went to the maga-bike meet yesterday (linky to the 'seattle riders?' post) and I met the new owner of a sweet 'red' (orange?) Tuono - wanted to say Hi again and follow up on those mods I mentioned.

    For the record, the monthly gathering was more amazing than I imagined. check out the post, and anyone interested in a very eclectic bike show in the Seattle area should definately check it out next month!!! 3rd Wednesday, 2Bit Saloon, Ballard...

    oof da!

    Thanks for the follow up!

    Hi,

    It was great meeting you last week. Backfire was huge. There were so many interesting bikes. I did get around to look at your black Tuono. You have put a lot of thought into it and it looks good.

    I would appreciate your suggestions on the ignition chip and a tank bag.

    Let me know if your planning to do the VME Tiddler Tour and we can figure out how to connect on Vashon.

    Thanks again,

    Dave

    Hey, Dave

    Go and send a private message to forum member Gabro, and detail your current set-up (stock airbox, Leo Vince single pipe, no cross-over mod [yet]) and he'll eventually get back to you with a price/availability.

    (Edit:
    Not sure if you can send PM's yet; read the one I sent YOU, and we can take this offline - I have Gab's email address, etc...)

    Then send ME a PM about Our Dear Island hoon date (because it's secret, right???)

    I found the RKA bag to work fine for me - 3-point mounting is secure enough. I have the 17l expandable 'SuperSport', but they have larger as well:

    Nice saddlebags/seat bags, too.


    Oh, and the exhaust mod: I have a spare collector in case you want to get one welded up and still ride, then swap me your after mounting. Read all about it: well, not ALL 156 posts, but check out these pages. You NEED to do this mod, and maybe have Gabro map a 2nd map to that mod as well:
