Hi guys,

I live in the sounth/east of Melbourne in the Berwick area. Anyone with the skills to help me install some new pipes on my bike. I have no idea and rather than pay a mechanic I can ill afford. Happy to sling you a couple of cases of beer. So if you have a few spare hours to help out a brother drop me a line.

At the moment I have the stock pipes on my 2011 deluxe. I am instaling Vance and Hines True Duals.Im sure it's not hard but it seems Im retarded or some shit. I couldn't work out in the instructions what to do with the O2 sensors.

I'm guessing your new duals don't have 02 bungs ?

They have all the right bits, I couldn't work out how to remove the old ones. I couldn't see what they were on about in the instructions

If I lived in Melbourne I would help you out but alas Im in NSW.
I changed the pipes on my bike without a problem. I do have experience in mechanical things BUT not much in the way of bikes. Took longer then someone who knew what they were doing would take BUT it was a relaxing experience and well worth the time doing it yourself.

**EDIT: ignore my first question**

 

Remember to have some anti seize compound for when you have to put the o2 sensors back in. And blue locktite for some screws if I remember rightly. Doesn't pay to skip these steps.  Sometimes downloading a mnual off a different bike and looking at it (like how they remove 02 sensors) helps to clear it up.

 If am mobile by then would love to catch up for a blast. Anyone need tools etc let me know.

I want to say thanks to you all for your offers of help. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Don't worry Baloffski, I promise to get too fuzzy on ya.

First things first. I would like to offer a huge public thanks to Hmmmm2. He gave up his day to help out a total stranger. I couldn't have done it without him and his knowledge. Knows his stuff and is a good bloke to boot.

Baloffski, shame you couldn't be there, you could have seen me stress like all fuck! Hope we can get together for a ride sometime. All in all it was fun and I'll put some pics up soon.

Again, thanks Tim
