I put a very small scratch in my new pipe just above the emblem when I was installing it.

Are there any fixes? This aluminum scratches REALLY easy.

Be extra careful putting the sling around it even after you put the rubber protector on it. The very top can still scratch it which is where I failed to protect it.


When people say it is LOUD they are not kidding! Of course you control how loud it is by how you ride it.
An added benefit I didn't expect was that it has much less vibration in my heel plates at the 3k rpm range like the stock pipe did.

You are gonna love it!

Very cool! The M2 is on my list of must have mods for next year.

Does the Two Bros. M2 have the stop for the Center Stand?

From the pics I have seen it doesn't? Am I right?

There is a way to polish out a scratch. Get yourself a headlight lense repair kit. You will need to polish the whole pipe otherwise you will notice the difference. You can start with a rougher grade of sandpaper to even out the scratch and then work your way down to a very fine grade of sandpaper. then polish with a polishing compound. Its a lot of work but worth the effort.

There is a 2000 grade wet-or-dry sandpaper available, I use it for polishing my headlights on the car. It is almost as fine as paper and will do the finish work.
