Take care of that head, you might need it later. As much info as you send out to us other Loop-maniacs do we need to take out some insurance on you? Glad the miracle cream worked. Which part number did you order, did they mate up to the mounting holes without mods? Can you post a picture and how do they sound? My mufflers are original and looking kind of bad, $100 sounds real good to me. Are any of the Loop/Guzzi guys getting together in Daytona somewhere? I'll be on my Triumph Tiger this time around but would like to see some of the other Loops/Guzzis if there is a gathering somewhere.
