New Hindle

[annieleilani]

I want to share with other Spyder Owners that I just had the Performance Silencer by Hindle put on my bike! WOW! What a difference. I don't purr any more! Now there is a definate growl with a lot of get up and go! We rode to Orlando yesterday for Thanksgiving, and I really enjoyed the ride! Also have new grips. About a month ago, I had my bike pin striped all over. He also painted a butterfly on the back fender. Looks wonderful! :2thumbs:This weekend will be awesome riding weather in Central Florida, so I'm a gone!!!!! Anne Leilani:2excited:

Hindle question

Sorry to hijack your post, but I have a question about the Hindle Performance Silencer, and can not find my answer on this forum through searches.
When they say:
Not street legal
Disclaimer: This part is intended for closed-course racing applications only. Can-Am Spyder roadsters modified with the performance silencer are prohibited from usage on public roads, and can only be operated in closed-course competitions. Use of this component outside of closed-course competition events constitutes tampering under the US EPA and California Air Resource Board regulations and can lead to substantial fines and penalties.
are they serious? Is that something I really need to worry about? I'd like to buy one of these, but this makes me nervous.
Thanks for any information!

So people do use this exhaust on the street?

We've had our Hindle on for almost 2 years and have never had any problems with it (knock on wood). We rode in 20 states last year along the Eastern Seaboard and into Ohio/KY, as well as parts of Ontario and Quebec, without problems. We were told that there are parts of Canada where you can be fined for violating the noise ordinance, but we were never stopped for this. This year we rode in MO, OK, TX, NM, CO and WY without problems. (Well, not any due to the noise level, anyway).

When we took a motorcycle safety course the sheriff's deputy teaching the class said he didn't feel you could have a muffler that was too loud...if they HEAR you, they'll hopefully SEE you. That said, I would still have to confess to being nervous about getting a ticket for a noise violation. So far it hasn't been a problem. As other folks have said, BRP is covering their :cus: by putting the disclaimer in. Most Harleys seem to be WAY louder than we are.

Wow, I've never heard a butterfly growl, but then my hearing is starting to go.

Thanks for the information everyone!

We both had Hindle with baffle removed still wasn't loud enough to get a ticket, but ran even better than before removing the baffle. Now I just switched to a Super Trapp and am getting it adjusted. It's going to be better yet and only about $220 delivered.

Wow, thread started in 2008 and just started getting replies in 2012. Hope she hasn't been waiting this long for replies.

 

[Starrider]

Queen "B' has a Spyder1Attitude on her :ani29:. It has a louder growl than the Hindle we replaced. Just rode Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky with no problem from an LEO's.

No, I just a few days ago took over someone's thread from 2008. I was searching for an answer to my questions and just piggy-backed on this thread rather than starting my own. Sorry, but thanks for all the info! It really helps!!
