Loud Pipes Save Li.........Er, Attract unwanted attention from LEO's  :police:

I leave em stock, and so I can actually ride faster, without drawing any unneeded attention to myself.  :whisper:

I actually do dig the sound, I just could not afford to have a set of pipes like that on a daily driver.

Sounds cool enough to me. Might be time to check those brakes tho.

I like. Im not sure about the unwanted attention. Most HDs run strait pipes and are louder and they dont get pulled over left and right.

Long rides on the highway though, have fun  :D

Didn't had any problems with cops for now. In the city i love that sound but on the longest trips its tiring.
After a trackday i thought that my head will explode due that noise  :icon_lol:

*I* don't like it. My bikes are quiet, like a ninja; black, like a ninja. I wear an all black helmet and dark/black riding gear - cause I am a ninja.

Stealthy riders learn the art of avoidance and saves lives  :thumb: :thumb:

Loud pipes saves lives Might have worked in the 70s when cars didn't have a/c or even stereos in them so everyone drove with windows open and talked on trips. But these days with well sealed door frames and windows, air conditioning going and the lastest tunes blairing out from the CD or even ear plugs plugged into the ears with the ipod in action, they don't hear you until you are right on them, and even then it can often make no difference as they will look right at you and still come at you.

Hate to go on a ride with you and sit behind you  :technical:

Also, any time the exhaust is Before the rear wheel I just don't trust it.

Good work on it, but that is not for me.
