I'm not sure _my_ neighbors want my bike to be so loud, either... that was the thought though... It means rejetting both carb sets and that is new ground for me - though I'm not intimidated easily these days. ( Darn fool, look at 'em go! )

On the test ride, there is a good deal of helmet-resonance going on with this new bike, I may want to swap these pipes for some TORS rather than doing a bunch of mucking around.... I try to ride stealthy polite in the neighborhood so I can rip down the highways without people thinking its me...

My bike also has a center stand which this one doesn't and I don't think there is a stop bracket on these pipes... I'm going to see if I can get the bike out of the van now... Gotta listen to it again.

I can help you with rejetting. It's easy.

I've got to go wash the bike and see what is wrong with the front brakes - pulse-pulse-pulse -- I hope it is something easy - or I'll be ordering an EBC front disk and pads...

*sigh*

Mark, do you still have your stock pipes? I'd be into fitting them on this bike as the Sprints are just silly loud - your Preds are quieter I think.

The neighbors dogs all ran after me just on a test ride - just off of idle. Seems like the front disk is warped a tiny bit... so upgrade time for this bike.
