    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Whaddya think? I've since taken the rear carrier off and sandblasted the 'LASER' off the pipe (it needed some welding anyway). I'll try and upload a current photo later...

8-) !!

I think losing the "laser" was the right thing. To "in your face" for me.

The rack, you may miss it? Are you selling it?

Not sure, its great for carrying stuff and has an adjustable backrest that slides all the way up for a solo rider or to the rear for a passenger. My wife LOVED it after years on the back of the Katana....

Sweet looking E dude!

Yup, ditch the "Laser" it looks cheeseball. You can buy replacement exhaust canister decals from most all performance exhaust mfg's. Pick one you like and slap one on. (an old school Vance and Hines supersport decal would look great IMO!

After Photo...

After Photo...

You can see where the can was crimped a little from being in the vice - oh well... The header is ceramic and it sounds meaty for sure...
 
Looks good. I didn't care for the oversize LAZER lettering, either.
 
I don't notice the crimp too much. It really looks good man.

Still, I liked it better with the LASER still on the side but then again I am a badge kind of guy :)

Looks really clean without it too. As long as it is till functional and you didn't break any welds
while vising it then your set mate :D
 
badges, somebody had to say it

gsgeezer observes:

My kerker is currently without it's badge. That is the second one that jumped ship, so I left it for now. I might fill the now empty mounting holes with hi-temp epoxy....
