Ok, I'm an auditor, and you are thorough!  Do you work for a news station, because the camera angle seamlessly kept changing.

Nice video.  All bases covered.

Video is a hobby. Did it all by myself. I wish someone were around helping - then I wouldn't be getting out of frame at times.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I use Sony Vegas Pro on Winderz 7. Vegas Video beats anything on a Mac when it comes to fast editing. I shot it in an afternoon. Then over 3 evenings, probably no more than 20 hours total editing time.

Excellent video, as always.

I was checking out the Motad website http://www.motad.co.uk (http://www.motad.co.uk) to get an idea of cost for their product as opposed to Vance & Hines and others more readily available in the US, but I'm slightly confused that their product page doesn't reference the GS500. I'm sure I'd find an answer if I search, but in an effort to put the detail for the Motad exhaust in a relevent spot, I'll ask: what models listed on the Motad site are compatible with our GS500's? Can I assume the GSF600 Bandit?

I'm not sure which model on their catalog as I found it on our favorite place: ebay.
Remember that any year 1989 to present uses the same exhaust (Well, Suzuki did change it but they all fit exactly the same so year doesn't matter.)

Yes, expensive. Like $600 shipped. Phenix deserved it. I wanted to try something unique - something you won't find on any other bike. I want Phenix to be unique, special and totally one of a kind.

Be aware it is not as loud as V&H or Jardine. I think due to noise laws in the UK. It is a deeper sound. I like it.

Hmm...not as loud you say? Sounds like it's something to investigate further. A deeper, throatier tone would be a welcome addition, without the increased volume of a V&H or Jardine would be a bonus and possibly worth the additional expense. But, probably not a "this year" thing...the wife's caught on to all the bits I've been buying for my Beast.

I hate loud bikes, especially when the a$$holes riding them through a highway underpass rev to redline...but that's a whole other issue.  :2guns:
