Not for me. I like it quiet. More importantly, the wife would do mean things to if I put one of those on "our" Spyder.

[Mikey]

For the street. WHY??? To each his own!

[old Timer]

That is totally ridiculous, the only reason that I can think the need is to overcome.............. some very ...... er ...... short comings.

[Gwolf]

This is mine.........

That is a glass pack and I do have two addional sets of baffles preceding it. It is louder than stock, but not annoyingly loud.

Never been stopped or ticketed. I keep the RPMs down in town, and mostly just let it wind on isolated country two lanes where traffic is almost non-existent and only a few isolated farms. Below about 3,000 revs it is just a low rumble, without the high pitched, annoying scream. On the Interstate you don't even notice it with all the 18 wheelers running 75 to 80 MPH too.

Times have changed ..............or have they?

Just by way of comparison a similar number of horsepower...................

Sorta stirs the soul a bit eh, wouldn't want to do 200 miles behind them though

While we're on the subject, why did old kemosabe wear the mask, not like he was undercover with his glam outfit and all?

Also breakdown procedures are similar...............


Nowadays we have shiny metric clubs.

I reckon I'd much rather be BEHIND that 'Horse Stampede' noise than IN FRONT OF IT! Or worse, UNDER it!!

Just Sayin'

Maybe he just can't leave his Harley days behind!

I just picked up the Baldwin Iron Works cat delete and boy I didn't realize how much louder it was. I was trying to get rid of the weight and heat, it now sounds like a go cart on steroids.

Going to install the baffle to tone it down some when I go to wrap it. I just need to decide whether or not to use the end plug on the baffle. I wanted to go with the rls cat delete that has the resonator but at almost $400 compared to $99 for the baldwin and me being in between jobs the wife would have my A$$ for spending that much right now.

Maybe later on when I am back at work again.

I wasn't being bashful but when I went out for my ride yesterday, I went through a small town near Aldie and anyone that was outside was looking for me before I even got there.

I did the B.I.W. Cat delete with Titanium Header wrap for the whole length of the front tuned pipe to the end of the Cat Delete, and still have the stock final exhaust. It sounds better (but still not as good as the BRP Akrapovic Sport silencer (one day....).

Not color blind but I do have glaucoma and permanent tinnitus from the Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance tour concert back in 82.

Totally agree. That raspiness sounds like a**!

Onya. Why be bashful? Let em all know your about to arrive.
Why Hell. Thats what its its about isn't it?

Did you get some "Throttle Blipping" in along the way?
Ya know, the icing on the cake? Like Wwwrrrrriiiipppp Blip Blip Wwwrrrrriiiipppp..

Wow, what a guy you must be. Kudos in Spades!
Eat ya heart out Tom Cruise ya just got trumped.
Your a Super Coowweell Dude CloverHillCrawler for sure.

[CloverHillCrawler]

I'm not really trying to announce myself so much, I just wanted to lose the heat and weight... especially if I am pulling in for a smoke break and don't want to be annoying the locals and pissing them off while I'm doing it.

When I wrap it I am putting the full baffle in it.

That suggested, well that you wished to be "That Guy"

Onya. No real need to announce to all your impending arrival.

If you are going with the "loud pipes save lives" myth; you need to study the science. that is one of the biggest myths in the motorcycle industry. It simply is not true; the physics of sound waves and sound proofing of modern cars does not support it. If you are doing it because you like the sound, keep in mind most bystanders form a negative attitude about bikes/trikes because of the obnoxious noise. Therefore, you are hurting the reputations of all others who ride. There is nothing positive about loud pipes despite the anecdotal BS associated with them.

Gotta disagree with the 'hurting the reputation' bit cruisn.

My thinking is if I'm going to be lumped in with the open pipes mob because I ride then that sort of forked tongue attitude deserves zero respect.
Generally, I think most people appreciate a nice sounding exhaust. It's when life endangerment gets thrown into the package that they object.

So, why then, are so may venues (including national and state parks) prohibiting bikes with loud pipes? It's happening and is a valid concern. They are not necessary and not welcome by the majority of civil people.

Do you recall anyone other than govt agency's advocating these sorts of restrictions ?
