 \\;\\\\\\; don't get it......he did not hear the cop on the bike? \\;\\\\\\; Was the cop yelling as loud as he could? I wonder if they wll get "louder exhaust" for the patrol cars, you definetly can't hear a cop in a patrol car with the windows up.

This was on the local TV news this morning. Evidently a motorcycle officer was hit by a motorist who said he didn'thear the cop on the bike.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
I think there are 42 bikes at $500 per bike.
 \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
I hope I don't get pulled over in Oakland for my pipes.

A few years back was at an Oakland Hog run. \\; Oakland police show up to escort the large number of bikes around Lake Merritt. \\; Was talking to one of the Motor Officers there about his Harley being as loud as mine. \\; He said hey they are Harley's after all and they have to breath. \\; \\; I guess Oakland Police have always know loud pipes equal better performance.

Well thats some damn good news!!!
I hope they'll finally scrap the attempted ban on the "Thunder Headers" down there.
Rich Products who makes them in Berkley Ca. should be grining from ear to ear now!

Maybe this will prompt the Feds into making loud pipes mandatory safety equipment on all bikes sold in the USA.

almost all of our 2000 RK's have the stock mufflers hollowed out. we have a few 05's and 06's that some guys put Samson rolled thunder pipes on.... but all of our new 07's (about 35 of them) were delivered with ABS/fan/Screamin Eagle slip ons (which arent very loud at all)

Are they going to publish which exhaust(s) they are going to go with. \\;\\\\\\; Should help some people avoid some court fines.
