2007 SV650: Project better late than never

[V1GiLaNtE]

Updates:

Exhaust has been on for well over a month now. Install was super easy. Cut off old pipe and slip on new one. The slip-on absolutely changed this bike. Before, it was quiet and the engine was louder than the exhaust. The videos don't do it justice, but now it's "setting off car alarms" loud. The v-twin has come alive with a deep, throaty, and snarling sound. Deceleration at 5k gives off pops and crackles that make you giggle.

The R6 throttle tube has made the bike more enjoyable as well. Less throttle play and more response. I think as of today, since purchase, I've racked up 3000 miles. Driving less now since I'm not commuting, but still hopping on and riding any time I feel like it.

Before and after videos below for your listening enjoyment.
