Hey,

just wondering if anyone has tried fitting a Leo Vince SBK exhaust on their GS500. If so, how does it sound? Here is a link to a video on video.google.com : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=206601843419407822&q=cbr This thing sounds fricking awesome IMO.

That "machine gun" sound is improper jetting and combustion of unburned gas in the exhaust track.

How can you compare though? That's a 900cc inline four, and you have a 500cc (okay, technically 487cc, but still) twin.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

Misread. My bad. Even still. 599cc inline four to a 487cc paralell twin. Those two will sound NOTHING alike.

Yes, I realize that the engine sizes, configurations, etc. will cause them to sound drastically different. I was just wondering if anyone tried to put this exhaust on their GS500 cause I am curious at to how it would sound.
