I only had my bike for 3 days and yeah,I made one of my friends take it for a blast just so I could hear it from a different perspective.I only have the SE 2 slip-ons right now.He thought I was crazy for making him ride it just so I could hear what everybody else hears.I told him to really get on it until he got to fourth gear.Then I had him ride past me in a more civil manner,maintaining a constant speed.It sounded OK,but I think it needs a little more bark.Maybe some Vance and Hines straightshots in the future but there are so many other pipes to choose from.It's a tough decision!

 

I know my Rinehart TD's definately sound different from behind then they do from the saddle. Rode up to Hot Springs, AR. Rally with a friend of mine who has same setup and I led part of the way and was fairly quiet sounding (mostly wind noise) and always thought my pipes were too quiet until he past me and I rode behind him for a while. I couldn't believe the difference in sound tone and loudness! Never thought being about 3 feet ahead of the exhaust pipe could be that different in sound and that is before I had my cam job done. Now the bike is even louder with a slightly different tone.

 

Ha Ha, I did the same thing. Had a friend make passes while I stood on the sidewalk. It sounds so good, just the way I wanted! It does sound slightly different on the bike, but still very good, especially when I hit it hard.

or get us more attention so the industry is regulated even more. To me the whole loud pipes saves live is a load of hog wash. They don't do squat for you when Soccer mom, or cell phone Sally pulls out in front of you.

 

I was gonna do this on Sunday. i have yet to hear my bike ride by... GEEZ!!! I want to hear it.....

 

Yeah, I hear that...maybe!

I got to hear mine when the mechanic at the stealer took it out for a test ride. It was louder than I thought it was! It did sound GOOD, however!

 

To each his own. I have 1st hand experience that a throttle blip on my 'loud pipe' bike made the van cager stop his lane ingress into my space. It may not stop every obliviot, but it is better than nothing. Much like owning a handgun. May not be able to protect you in every situation, but better than nothing.

UNTIL the morons in law creation/enforcement take the killer cagers off the road, I'll keep my pipes and the bitches can F off.
