Hi Dale,
I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the close tolerance fit and flawless finish of your Holeshot Slip- ons.
The installation on my '05 FJR 1300 was very simple and even with my K&N airfilter I have no popping on deceleration and the sound level is just what I wanted; authoritative but not irritating.
Thanks for making such a fine product.

these pipes sound perfect. they fit like a glove and the craftsmanship is UNREAL. i went to your web site to
see if you made a pipe for the FJR-1300 before i bought the bike.
i also love my bandit stage II parts and my wife loves her warrior pipe as well. we wear our Holeshot T-shirts
whenever we ride, especially when we visit our local motorcycle dealers. thank you for a superior product, its worth the cost.

I purchased a set from my dealer Ron Turner Cycles in Jacksonville, Florida. They were installed on my 2005 FJR in September of 2004.
The quality is outstanding, installation was a breeze, they sound great and I have had numerous compliments on them. I have over 6000
miles on them and they still look like they just came out of the box.
Regards,
Phil

Hey Mr. Dale,
Got the black slip-ons put on my 05 FJR1300 the other day. Seems to run as well, perhaps alittle more crisp with no mapping changes or
injection . . . .whatever the proper term would be. I've currently got 6K miles and anticipate a bunch more. The pipes sound great as it has
personality now as opposed to being a big sewing machine.
Thanks again.

Put my pipes on today. What can I say, I expected nothing less than perfect from you Dale. After all the parts I purchased for my V-max
(which I got rid of in 01). I expected and received an excellent product again. The welds were perfect. The fit and finish perfect, packing
perfect, instructions so easy a chimp could follow them, and the sound OH MY, the sound, really brought that baby to life. Since I have the 04
model with silver rims, I'm happy I went with the polished cans instead of black, but I bet the black cans look beautiful with the black rims.
Too bad its cold outside, I'd like to experiment with the power commander but for now I am very pleased with the pipes. Thank you.

Dale,
I had ordered a set of your slip-ons for my 2005 FJR1300. I had read much about them on the FJR forums online.
I received them in two days and they arrived undamaged. It took all of 15 minutes to install.
I must say, they are absolutely beautiful and sound fantastic ... I am very pleased with them.
Just wanted to drop you a line and compliment you on your work ... great job!! Thank you very much.

Dale,
I just wanted to let you know that I got the full header and exhaust system installed on my FJR1300 and it looks sweet. The black cans on my blue 2005 give some personality to the bike. It's also turned my "sewing machine" into a growling monster. I was heading up into the Sierras for my first long test ride when I stopped for gas. A guy filling up his car on the pump across from me came over and said he loves the FJR, but that mine sounded real good when I pulled in. I had to brag that I just installed the Holeshot system, showed off the satin black slip-ons with the laser etching, and of course gave the throttle a couple of quick pulls for effect.
I had your single bolt-on on my Bandit, but with 2 on the FJR, it's twice as nice!!!
Thanks for a great product.

Hello Dale, I just took a short ride on My 04 fjr1300. As you remember I have been on the waiting list for a couple of months. You shipped the set to me just before you left and I got them right before I left. I left the bike and the system with a trusted mechanic who has been working on my bikes for some time as I have a small collection that always need something. He installed the set and when I got home we installed your map. Wow great job on all the hard work you do. First the reduced heat is worth the price of admission, no more leg of me roasted to a bright red. The sound they make give the bike some character. And above two grand they produce noticable power gain. I love the look sound power and coooool.

Hi Dale,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm very happy with the sound and looks of
your slip-ons. Nice job!
Below is a copy of my post on the FJR Owners Forum:
Thanks to this forum, I learned about Dale's Holeshot products. Ordered a
pair of slip-ons for my blue '06. Got the satin black finish.
Replacing the stock cans gave me the exact sound I was looking for. My bike
was instantly transformed from a nice-looking, shiny, whirring thing to a
real motorcycle. ;)
The fit and finish of the slip-ons are excellent! All of the parts are
nicely packaged and the required clamps and nuts come in separate plastic
bags.
The highly polished stainless steel on the mid-pipes and tips really sets
off the satin black finish of the aluminum muffler body. And the laser
etching on the polished tips is a classy touch. 8)
And then there's the weight loss! Now, I don't have go on that diet to lose
12+ pounds. That's the difference in weight between the stock mufflers and
the Holeshot slip-ons + mid-pipes.
May go with the Holeshot header and a PCIII later on. But for now, this was
a much needed upgrade -- a very nice improvement to an already excellent
bike!
Cheers!

Hey Dale,
Many thanks for your help getting the proper mapping for my 2005 FJR Yamaha with your complete header/slip-on system. After mapping the power commander and installation it ran flawlessly. I really like the sound and the instant throttle response. It really means a lot for a supplier to not only sell you the system but to take the time to help you install it properly. You should be getting a few more orders from this area from my friends who have the same bike.
Zach Dalmau, (Reno, Nevada):
These are the highest quality slip-ons I have installed. I have experience with many types of motorcycles and common modifications. These slip-ons gave me instant gratification regarding over-all performance gains and appearance. I am sure the related header system will yeild similar results! I can't wait!!
Thumper McKenzie:
Hi Dale,
First let me thank you for the excellent service you provide to the riding community. I don't know how you find time to enjoy your passion for racing with all the work you do for others.
I received the slip-ons late Wednesday night by UPS and had them on 30 minutes later. They sound great and the installation was straight forward. I especially like the rubber bumper for the center stand on the FJR. Attention to detail is consistant throughout.
Thank you and I look forward to using them for a long time. Maybe I can even purchase some of those Headers before too long.
Thanks again and have a great Christmas holiday.
Zane Elrod:
Hi - I ordered from you a set of exhausts for my FJR late last week. Your friendliness on the phone even exceeded all the wonderful things folks say about you in the chat rooms!

Got my slip-ons today .. they were patiently waiting for me when I got home. I un-boxed everything and even read the directions .. I
do that now that I've gotten older. I think it took me about a
1/2 hour to get them both on and adjusted .. a real breeze.
Took it for a short spin and the sound is absolutely perfect! I am 62 this year and 'loud' doesn't trip my trigger .. but these are
so mellow sounding .. it really makes my 06 FJR1300A really sound
great. I told my son the the FJR sounded like a tiger purring ..
now it sounds like the same tiger growling.
Thanks for a wonderful product .. I was impressed with the overall
fit and finish ... nice!
I'll get some miles on them and let you know what they do to my mileage and throttle response.
David Rainey (Saltillo, MS):
Hi Dale,
Just installed the slip-ons on my '03 FJR 1300. Just one word to
describe the experience-awesome! The fit and finish and easy
installation were beyond compare. I am 52 and have been riding
since I was 14 and have had my experience with "will fit" products.
The look and sound of these pipes is great! Makes it irrestible to
not "blip" the throttle at red lights. The bike runs flawlessly. My
advice to anyone wanting to upgrade their FJR-look no further than Holeshot Performance. Now, about that free T-shirt.........;^).

Well, had my Holeshot slip-on pipes on long enough now to gather some figures from my 2006 FJR. Everybody loves the sound of
them .. even the Harley guys. I went on a memorial ride this past
Saturday for a Harley guy that got killed a couple of years ago.
We did about a 150 mile ride .. the HD guys never ride fast .. But I only road about 75 miles with them .. once at the destination I
turned around and headed back by myself .. and doing some normal speeds. I got 55.4 mpg on that tank of gas! The FJR seems to like the pipes real well .. no trace of any hiccups at all.
As for horse power and torque .. well, the FJR already makes a ton of both so it's hard to tell ... but when I crank it the pipe sure
does sound great. You may get a couple of more orders for FJR
pipes from Tucson .. I ride with three other FJR owners .. and they
love the sound too. We'll see.
Thanks Again

Dale,
I just fired up the Feejr with your header and muffler replacements. I would like to offer a moment of silence to the stock parts...Now I
would like to roll on the throttle until the cops show up and have to
pry me off of it. I am a conservative rider in my late 30's but now you and your staff have made me feel like a juvenile delinquent, again. I sincerely feel sorrow for my fellow FJR riders that have not tapped into this full potential addition to their machine. I also
would like to offer appreciation to the tech support you and your team gave me. The passion you and your staff have for HOLESHOT shines through the product and service.
Keep the shiny side up
