I dunno, i'd leave them on there. Finns are tough. They kicked the russians *** in the Winter War.There was a Finnish sniper named Heimo Shematsek? that killed 500 russians in 3 months.

"Utopian Overlord"
My own Finn horror story. It started soon after I replaced my Screaming Eagle 2 pipes with stock Harley pipes (they're louder). Like a fool, I ordered 'em off of eBay. I should have suspected something when the label said "Lawaaireductiemiddel Van de Motorfietsuitlaat".
Well, I bolted 'em on and cranked 'er up, but the sound was disappointing. Instead of the classic "potato-potato" that I was hoping for, these things sounded more like "aardappel-aardappel".
The next morning, they fell off! Here are the "Before" and "After" photos. Notice how the heat from the previous day's run has warped the pipes!
"Brave Little Finland" indeed! Just 'cause they're the only country in the world to have paid off their WWII war debt doesn't give 'em license to export junk to Harley riders. And I'm sure it's just Harley they're doin' this to. I have YET to see a pair of Finnish pipes on a Fury or a Goldwing. Have you?

Hey, my wife is a finn. At least they take pride in their workmanship. That's more than I can say for a lot of the mud puddle countries.

Maybe make totally weird posts? Nah, that would be meaningless to everybody.

I think ya'll are confusing the Finns and the Dutch. There's a huge difference there, like about 1000 miles. One country makes the 338 Lapua Magnum. One country makes Moslems.

However, sometimes meaningless banter is nice to clear your mind with.
