• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE!

Different folks have different strokes. I love my orig pipe, magna flow will not be proper anyway:roflblack::roflblack:
 
Safety is deninately not enhanced with volumn, lights, horn and defensive driving do work. If you want more power or like a loud bike then do it but I really wish the police would enforce the noise laws. Nothing worse than hearing some unmuffled bike scream by you house at 2:00 in the A.M lol.

I ran everything from stock to Yoshimura to 2Bros to HMF on my RS. I really like the sound of the HMF best. Scotty is right, they will still merge on you. Air horns, extra lights, bright colors seem to help.....a little
I am still having trouble with them seeing a huge Goldwing, which is very quiet.

I've seen clowns pull in front of dump trucks. I just ordered lights for the wheels and I will get an air horn and hope for the best. I really didn't want a loud bike. I try to consider my neighbors and people in general. I'll try the aforementioned. Thanks a lot.

I had the 2 bro's single can on my 2008 GS and after a couple of years it needed repacking. Instead I invested in the Spyder1Attitude which never needs repacking and like it much better than the 2bro's. Spyder1Attitude can be found on the home page if interested and they have Utube video.

I'm going to take a look at the Spyder1Attitude ones. Thanks.

To be honest loud pipes won't help, And if you realy want to be honest most people put on loud pipes for the look at me, ''Ain't i cool feel'' People don't hear Fire trucks with screaming sirens, Until they look up in their mirrors and see the flashing lights. Lane position and awareness is you best defence against the drifters.
Been riding Bikes for 45+ years and i can say i it's been years since i last used my horn.
Just my thoughts , Yours might differ.?

You make a good point about not being able to hear an apparatus. I really don't like the loudness, but I'm getting fed up with the Magoos. Thanks for the tip that will save my life.

I worry about being the neighbors' headache with that rolling thunder sound. LOL
 
Love the rumble and roar of the Two Brothers pipe. It may however make riding less safe as some drivers may be startled by it and make a knee jerk driving move. I guess you can't win in all ways with anything.
 
When I hear rumbling pipes roar by at 2AM it gives me sweet dreams about riding....

Personally I like rumbling. I don't want my ears to bleed, but really don't like the sewing machine sound of stock either...

Have dual Two Bros and don't mind repacking them, it's not that hard. Love the rumble.

Haven't seen any startled knee jerk reaction unless I want to get their attention...VROOM VROOM...

The time has come for me to replace my factory pipes with louder pipes. I am fed up with these Mr. Magoo drivers drifting in my lane. Calling names is a waste of time. My friends have been telling me to up the ante. Its time. Any suggestions? Preferably slip on pipes. I have the '09 RS.

I hear that the tailgunner exhaust is really loud and looks good.
 
A great way to make noise would be to use a baseball card and a clothespin, Worked for me when i was ten.
Just don't use a Mickey Mantle Rookie card. :roflblack:

There is no sure defense against the worst of the idiots out there. Situational awareness and defensive riding techniques , as well as periodic practice of evasive maneuvers, can save your bacon, though.

I do understand your frustration. If you are really serious about finding alternative safety measure to be noticed, consider a hi-vis jacket and hi-vis helmet. Those are the only things statistically proven to increase rider safety and reduce accidents. Those pieces are chosen because the move continually when you ride, in different directions than the bike motion...attracting attention.
 
I've had to give people the air horn many times while driving the semi, and some even had their windows open, and still it didn't do any good, people are just getting dumber and dumber with those "cages".
