hey man looks the goods interior looks pretty clean too... a small little neat mod would be to get a new set of front armrests in the same colour and replace the back ones to get rid of the ashtrays, stops drunk mates putting rubbish in there too

[jahan_86vl]

[walesy]

I know im digging up an old thread but i been wanting to put a dump pipe tip on my vl for ages but could only find a 3" tip and my exhuast is only 2.5". what size is your pipe going into the tip?
cheers

well mate, mines 2.5" exhaust with a 3" dump pipe, they cut off a bit of your exhaust, then the dump tip just gets welded onto the end, so you can get any size you want,
I was going to go for a 2.5"dump pipe aswell but went for the 3" as it looks better and it also fills the exhaust cutout in the bumper nicely

Hope that helps
